Why This Matters Now

Why AI Policy Is Urgent — and Achievable

AI is already impacting grantwriting, content creation, operations, and data use across the nonprofit sector. But many organizations lack clear guidelines. Without a policy, you risk ethical blind spots, legal noncompliance, or community mistrust.
This toolkit helps you act with intention — not fear.
