  • $800 flat fee, any size organization
  • Written for your organization, not a template
  • Ready for board adoption and staff rollout
Why Now

Your Staff Are Already Using AI. Your Policy Should Catch Up.

Your staff are almost certainly using AI tools already, whether or not your organization has approved them. Without a policy, that use happens with no guidance, and confidential information about your organization and the people you serve may not be protected.

Boards and funders are starting to ask the question directly: does your organization have AI governance in place? A written policy lets you answer yes, and it gives your staff clear guidance they can apply in the moment instead of a general warning to be careful. Our post on what a nonprofit AI use policy should actually cover walks through the thinking behind each section.

Nearly half

of nonprofit organizations have no AI governance policy at all, according to the 2026 Nonprofit AI Adoption Report, a benchmark study published by Virtuous and Fundraising.AI.

What the Policy Covers

Written for Your Programs, Values, and Risks

  • Appropriate and prohibited usesWhere AI tools help your work and where they must stay out of it.
  • Allowable toolsThe tools staff are permitted to use at your organization, named plainly.
  • Data privacy and client confidentialityProtections for the information you handle and the people you serve.
  • Staff guidelines and accountabilityClear expectations staff can apply in the moment.
  • Governance languageWritten for board-level review and adoption.
  • One round of revisionsSo the final version reflects your leadership’s judgment, not just ours.

Plus a one-page document for your board. It explains why the policy is important, addresses risk management concerns, and answers the questions board members ask most often.

How the Process Works

One Working Session, One Finished Policy

  1. Working session

    A structured session with your executive director or a designated staff member. We gather what we need to shape the policy: your programs, the tools your team uses, the kinds of information you handle, and the risks specific to your work.

  2. We write the policy

    A complete policy document written for your organization, delivered to you for review. We agree on the delivery date with you when we schedule the working session.

  3. Revisions and rollout

    One round of revisions is included. The result is ready for board adoption and staff rollout, with the board briefing document alongside it.

What It Costs

One Flat Fee, No Follow-On Fees

$800

Regardless of your organization’s size. No follow-on fees and no obligation to any further engagement.

Included

Common Questions

What Leaders Ask Before They Start

  • How long does nonprofit AI policy development take?

    We agree on a delivery date with you when we schedule the working session. The working session itself is a single scheduled meeting with your executive director or a designated staff member.

  • Do we need a policy if we barely use AI?

    Yes. In most organizations staff are already using AI tools on their own, and the policy is what turns that quiet, unguided use into safe, intentional use. Waiting until AI use is widespread means writing rules after habits have formed.

  • Will the policy work for our board?

    The policy includes governance language written for board-level review, and the engagement includes a one-page briefing document that explains the policy’s purpose, addresses risk management, and answers common board questions.

  • Is the price really flat?

    Yes. One flat fee covers the full engagement for any size organization: working session, customized policy, one revision round, and the board document.
