Nonprofit AI Policy Builder

Answer five short questions and receive a complete, board-ready AI governance policy tailored to your organization's size, mission, and risk level.

Before you begin: I am not an attorney. This tool produces a governance draft — review by legal counsel is recommended where appropriate, especially if your organization operates under sector-specific data or safeguarding regulations.

Important: This tool does not save your information or your policy draft. Once you navigate away from this page, the conversation cannot be recovered. When your draft is ready, copy the full text before closing or leaving the page.
This tool will ask you five short questions about your organization, then generate a complete AI Acceptable Use and Governance Policy. The whole process takes about three minutes.

No personal or identifying information is required. You can answer at a categorical level throughout.

Question 1 of 5
What best describes your organization's primary mission area? Choose the option that fits most closely. Exact fit is not required.
Question 2 of 5
How would you describe your organization's current relationship with AI? Think about what's actually happening, not what's planned.
Question 3 of 5
How sensitive is the data your organization typically handles? Think about your beneficiaries, clients, or the people you serve — not just donor or staff data.
Question 4 of 5
What is your organization's approximate size? This helps calibrate how detailed and formal the policy should be.
Question 5 of 5
Who is most likely to own and maintain this policy? This determines how the governance and accountability sections are structured.

Before we generate your policy

Here's what we understood about your organization. Please confirm this is correct, or go back to make changes.

Your AI Governance Policy

Your policy draft is ready. Select all, copy, and paste it into a new Word or Google Doc — the formatting will convert cleanly in most editors.

Optional: Department-specific guardrails

Would you like to add department-specific guardrails as an appendix to your policy? These cover fundraising, HR, communications, programs, and operations.

Suggested next steps:
  • Share this draft with your leadership team or board for review
  • Have legal counsel review sections covering data privacy or employment
  • Set a calendar reminder to review the policy in 6–12 months
