Important Considerations

Several factors determine the total time and cost commitment for AI and automation solutions. These include project complexity and the tools involved. Data integrity is a critical factor; cleaning and organizing data is an essential step for a successful build. Additionally, some automations may have annual fees for ongoing maintenance and nominal costs for third-party subscriptions. Below are examples of tools we build and their potential cost. Talk with us about your specific needs.

Section One

AI Governance and Use Policy

AI Governance and Use Policy

Description

An AI use policy gives your organization a clear, documented framework for how staff can and should use artificial intelligence tools in their work, protecting your clients, your data, and your organization’s integrity.

As AI becomes part of everyday nonprofit operations, boards and funders are increasingly asking whether organizations have governance in place. This service helps you get ahead of that question with a policy that reflects your organization’s specific programs, values, and risk considerations.

We work through a structured policy development process with your executive director or designated staff member, gathering the information needed to shape a policy that fits your organization rather than a generic template. From there, we develop and deliver a complete, customized AI use policy document ready for board adoption and staff implementation. One round of revisions is included.

The policy covers appropriate and prohibited uses of AI tools, allowable tools that can be used at your organization, data privacy and client confidentiality protections, staff guidelines and accountability, and governance language suitable for board-level review.

Additionally, we provide you with a one-page document that provides your board with information about why this is an important and necessary policy, addresses risk management concerns, and answers the most commonly asked questions.

INVESTMENT

$900 — Fixed Fee

Priced as a flat fee regardless of organization size. Includes one working session with your executive director or designated staff, a complete customized policy document, one round of revisions, and the guiding document for your board. Delivered within two weeks of the working session.

Section Two

Strategy, Design, & AI Readiness

Strategic AI Readiness Assessment 

Description

The Strategic AI Assessment is the starting point for organizations that want a clear picture of where AI and automation can make the greatest difference for their team. We begin with a structured interview with your executive director and leadership team to understand your current workflows, the tools and software you already use, and the operational challenges your staff face day to day. For larger or more complex organizations, we may also conduct brief interviews with program staff who have the most direct knowledge of frontline workflows.

From that foundation, we develop a written report that maps your current operational picture, identifies specific opportunities where AI and automation can reduce administrative burden, improve efficiency, and give your staff more time to focus on mission-critical work. Where possible, we provide estimated time savings and other measurable value so you can make an informed decision about next steps  and make a clear case to your board if needed.

Finally, we will meet with designated staff and board members to present the report and answer any questions you may have.

The assessment is a standalone deliverable. It does not obligate you to any further engagement, though many organizations use it as the foundation for a project build or customized training.

Estimated Investment

$1,500 - $2,500

Standard Assessment — $1,500
Designed for smaller organizations or those where executive leadership has direct visibility into frontline operations. Includes a one-hour leadership interview and a written assessment report delivered within two weeks.

 

Full Assessment — $2,500
Designed for larger or more complex organizations where additional program staff interviews are needed to accurately map workflows. Includes a leadership interview, up to two program staff interviews, and a written assessment report delivered within two weeks.

Section Three

AI and Automation Tools
Custom AI Chatbot

Description

Chatbots are built on a knowledge base that can include a wide variety of information. It can include specific content such as  HR policies and procedures. Alternatively, it could provide hundreds or thousands of resources to staff or community members. These tools can answer repetitive internal questions or provide information and resources directly to those you serve.

Estimated Investment

$1,000 – $5,000

Cost is driven by the time required to organize the knowledge base. Data integrity is the greatest variable; larger projects with significant data issues may exceed this range. This estimate reflects your initial costs to design and implement the chatbot. There may be nominal costs on an annual basis for maintenance and chatbot hosting.
Executive Data Dashboard

Description

A dashboard aggregates data from sources including finance, fund development, service delivery, HR, and other sources into an easy-to-understand visual presentation. Dashboards can provide recent or real-time insights for leadership and board members.

Estimated Investment

$500 – $2,500+

Final investment is determined by project complexity, the number of data sources, and the requirements for streamlining data to the dashboard. Typically, a one time investment unless ongoing maintenance is needed.

Inventory Tracking Tool

Description

A low-code solution ideal for tracking donations of food, technology, medical equipment or other items in real-time. Designed for organizations with multiple staff members receiving donations and or distributing items.

Estimated Investment

$500 – $3,500+

Costs vary based on the specific structure of the tool and the complexity of your organization’s distribution workflow. Estimate includes your cost to design, implement, and train staff. There may be additional costs for ongoing maintenance and a nominal annual fee to cover a subscription to Zapier or related tool.
