What are the free sessions?

Short, practical introductions for the people making decisions about AI in non-profits. Choose the session that best matches your role and the questions you need to answer.

  • What AI is, and where it is already appearing in non-profit work.
  • Where the main risks sit, from confidentiality and safeguarding to accountability and public trust.
  • How to start setting useful boundaries without turning it into an enormous project.

Why we run them:

AI is already showing up in everyday non-profit work, whether or not an organisation has agreed how it should be used. Leaders and trustees need enough understanding to ask good questions and keep human judgement in the lead.

For trustees

AI Governance for Non-Profit Trustees.

A free, practical session for charity trustees who want to understand what AI means for their organisation and ask better questions about risk, responsibility and oversight.

  • What AI is being used, what information is involved and where responsibility sits.
  • What good assurance looks like, when a proposed use might need to pause and how trustees can provide proportionate oversight.

You will leave with:

A clearer sense of what to ask, what to expect and how to support better conversations about AI in your organisation.

Who is the trustee session for?

Charity trustees.

Trustees do not need detailed technical knowledge, but they do need to understand enough to provide meaningful oversight.

For CEOs and senior leaders

AI for Non-Profits: Practical AI Guidance for CEOs and Senior Leaders.

  • This practical session will help you understand what is happening, where the main risks sit and how to start setting useful boundaries without turning it into an enormous project.
  • What AI is, where it is already appearing in non-profit work, the main risks to consider and how to begin safely and usefully.

Who is the senior leaders’ session for?

Charity CEOs and senior leaders.

For non-profit leaders

What It’s Worth and What It Costs.

A free session for non-profit leaders who need to make sensible decisions about where AI might help, what it could really cost and what needs to be clear before going further.

  • Spotting a genuine opportunity and avoiding projects that create more work or risk.
  • Building a clearer case for action and deciding what is worth exploring.

You will leave with:

More clarity about what is worth exploring, what is not and what should happen next.
