The real picture

The gap isn't awareness.
It's implementation.

$10M+
Raised in the sector before building Aligned-AI. This work is built from the inside, not from a tech blog.

Most nonprofits have staff using AI every day. Almost none of them have a policy, a shared workflow, or a way to tell whether it's helping.

The fix is governance and implementation, and new software won't supply either. Without them you get real risk: inconsistent outputs, undocumented processes, and staff making individual decisions that should be organizational ones.

The organizations that get this right don't adopt more tools. They write down how they use the ones they already have.

What we build

Four ways we work with nonprofits.

01

Free tools

Assessments, policy builders, scorecards, and planning tools built for nonprofit teams. No login, no cost. Start wherever you are.

02

Field guide

A plain-language guide to getting started with AI responsibly. Covers foundations, ethics, real workflows, and where to begin. Written for practitioners.

03

Workshops

Half-day virtual sessions for your whole team. Build your AI policy, map your workflows, and leave with a plan you can use on Monday.

04

Custom implementation

Dashboards, AI reports that build themselves, and AI-driven data workflows built for your organization's specific tools and questions.

Agentic Governance Framework

Most AI policies were written for a tool that answers questions.
AI doesn't just do that anymore.

In plain terms: clear rules for what AI is allowed to do on its own in your organization, and who's checking it.

Acceptable use. Data privacy. Disclosure. Every nonprofit AI policy covers those, and they still matter. But AI today can do more than respond when asked. It can send the email, schedule the follow-up, and update the record without a person clicking "go" each time. Most policies were written before that was common. Almost none of them cover it now.

This framework closes that gap. I built it for nonprofits, for the moment AI stops waiting on you and starts acting on its own. People call that "agentic AI." The label matters less than the question underneath it: who's checking it, and when?

DIY

Framework Kit

$1,000–$1,500

Every module, the full workbook (Agent Registry, Authority Matrix, Human-in-the-Loop Log, Vendor Vetting), and a self-guided assessment. Work through it at your own pace.

DFY

Implemented

$1,500–$2,000 scoping

Starts with a paid scoping phase: your workflows mapped, your policy needs assessed, your team interviewed. You get a complete implementation plan with a fixed quote, and then you decide. Fully custom, never adapted from someone else's.
