Mission Before Machine

Responsible AI stewardship for nonprofits

Your mission comes first. The tools come second.

AI is arriving in nonprofits whether leaders are ready or not. This field guide helps boards, directors, and staff slow down and ask the right questions first: what your mission needs, what your people can handle, and where AI could help or harm the people you serve.

This book is for you if

  • You lead or serve on the board of a nonprofit
  • Staff are already using AI tools, with or without a plan
  • You want to make careful choices, not chase the latest tool
  • You care about protecting the people your organization serves
