A practical guide to writing an AI usage policy your team will actually follow, with a plain-language starter template covering approved tools, data rules, and disclosure.
Buying ChatGPT seats is the easy part. Only 15% of U.S. workers use AI daily, per Gallup. Here is the 30-day plan that turns paid licenses into daily use.
A home care agency ran its schedule on a decades-old HIPAA-compliant platform with no API. We audited the office's workflows, budget, and compliance needs, then built two Claude Cowork automations: open-shift scheduling (5 minutes to 39 seconds per household) and HR email drafting (40% less time).
Organizations with 5 to 200 staff: social service agencies, foundations, membership associations, and arts and education nonprofits. Each has grant and reporting work AI can take on and client and donor data that needs approved tools.
Yes, as a drafting aid, and it is usually the fastest win. A person checks every number and claim before submitting, and you check each funder’s rules on AI use.
Generally no, since the CCPA covers for-profit businesses. But HIPAA can still apply to health programs, 42 CFR Part 2 covers federally assisted substance use programs, and funder and government contracts often set their own data rules. The assessment maps what applies to you.
Only into a tool your organization has approved for client data. Free consumer accounts can train on what you paste, and case notes often hold health, immigration, or housing details. A one-page rule tells every staff member and volunteer what can go where.
Yes. AI drafts thank-you letters, appeals, and updates well. Donor history stays in your CRM or an approved tool, and a person reviews every message before it goes out.
Yes. The assessment is scoped to your team size, and it shows which tools are worth paying for. Many vendors offer nonprofit pricing, and we check your eligibility.
It should. An AI policy sets rules for client and donor data, and funders increasingly ask whether you have one. We write it in plain language and can brief your board.
No. AI takes on reports, grant drafts, meeting notes, and newsletters. Staff and volunteers keep the relationships and the judgment calls.
Our team is based in Irvine and most clients are in Orange County and greater Southern California, where we can train your staff and volunteers in person. Remote engagements work fine for the assessment and On-Going Support.
It starts with a 30-minute kickoff meeting over video or in person, then a written proposal, then the on-site AI Strategy & Assessment: a tool and vendor review, a client and donor data review, a written AI usage policy, and a prioritized roadmap.
