Help your nonprofit make better decisions about how to use AI.

Remote AI training is available for teams nationwide. Bring your colleagues together online for learning shaped around your industry and goals.
“The hands-on exercise pushed us just outside our comfort zones. We had to work together, make decisions, and build something under a deadline. It was energizing, challenging, and the highlight of the afternoon.”
What would strengthen your capacity to deliver on your mission?
For nonprofits already using AI for routine tasks, the bigger question is how it can strengthen mission delivery with the resources available. Program design, funding, staff capacity, and community relationships are connected. Explore those connections while keeping trust and the people you serve at the center.
Funding & Financial Resilience
How do fundraising, grants, earned income, and operating costs fit together? Explore how better information could support resource allocation and longer-term planning.
Community & Relationships
How do you listen, communicate, and build trust with participants, donors, and partners? Consider the role of technology alongside relationships that depend on human understanding.
People & Volunteer Capacity
What do staff, volunteers, and managers need to succeed? Connect recruitment, learning, knowledge sharing, and coordination to the work you can sustain.
Operations & Partnerships
Where do fragmented systems or unclear handoffs consume limited capacity? Explore procurement, collaboration, and how teams share the information they need.
Governance & Stewardship
Who owns decisions about AI, and what needs board or leadership attention? Discuss data sensitivity, accountability, investment choices, and how to assess whether an approach serves the mission.
Build understanding and strengthen judgement.
Then decide what comes next.
Learn Together
Develop a common understanding of AI’s capabilities and limits, grounded in your organization’s priorities.
Dive Deeper
Examine opportunities across functions, including the people, information, systems, and responsibilities each would involve.
Plan for the Future

Bring different perspectives into one room.
Executive directors, board members, program and development leaders, and the people responsible for finance, operations, communications, volunteers, and community partnerships.

hello@maha.laA few things
you may be wondering.
Do we need to be using AI already?
No. We can begin with an introduction or build on your team’s existing experience. The planning conversation helps us choose the right starting point.
Can we bring people from different departments?
Yes. Different responsibilities and perspectives are valuable when exploring how AI fits into the whole business. We’ll help you consider who should be in the room.
What does it cost, and where do we meet?
We’ll discuss any applicable fees, location, and availability when we understand your group and goals. Submitting an inquiry doesn’t commit you to a booking.
What if I’m interested as an individual?
Tell us you’re interested in a shared cohort. We can discuss whether a suitable group is being planned.
