Nobody's said what the rules are. This free hour is where that changes — what's actually happening with AI inside organizations like yours, what a forty-page two-page policy needs to cover, and the one conversation to have with your team this week.
Why this hour exists
Your organization is already using AI.
Not officially. Not in a policy. In browser tabs. On personal phones. In the grant draft that came together suspiciously fast.
Not because your people are careless — because they're stretched, the tools are free, and nobody has said what the rules are.
Your board is going to ask about this. A funder might ask first.
This session is the free hour that gets you ready for the question.
Four things. All usable the same day. All free.
Where AI already lives in a typical nonprofit — the free-tool tabs, the drafting, the donor-data risk nobody meant to create — and how to draw your own map in about twenty minutes.
The anatomy of a policy a board will actually read — what's in, what's out, and the sections you genuinely don't need, no matter what the forty-page corporate templates say.
Taught in full, live. There are six places nonprofit AI policies actually fail — you'll get one of them completely, with the story behind it and the fix.
You leave with the exact question to ask — whether or not you ever spend a dollar with me.

Pre-empting "is this a sales webinar"
The last ten minutes: I'll tell you about the August 4 workshop, where we go from "I understand this" to "my policy kit is in my inbox." It's $97 and I think it's the fastest honest route to a policy your board will accept.
The first fifty minutes are yours either way. Come for those.
Executive directors, ops leads, and the person the board just voluntold to "look into AI." If your organization has somewhere between zero policy and a half-finished Google Doc, you're in the right room. No technical background needed — if you can forward an email, you're qualified.
Who's teaching it: Hi, I'm Emily. Twenty years inside nonprofits — I know how this lands on an ED's desk because it landed on mine. For the past three years, Brazen has been building AI tools for nonprofits and advising them on where the lines are. One honest boundary: this is governance guidance, not legal advice. Where the law bites — Quebec's Law 25, CRA receipting, Indigenous data sovereignty — I name the flag and point you to counsel; I don't play lawyer.
Yes. No card, no trial, nothing to cancel. You register with an email, you get a Zoom link.
No. I'm teaching this live once before the workshop. If you can't make it, the August 4 workshop is the next room I'm in.
No. It's operational guidance from a practitioner. Legal questions get named and routed to counsel.
No. This is about governing the tools, not becoming a technologist.
The last ten minutes describe a paid workshop. That's the whole catch, and you now know it going in.
Ten minutes before we start, ask yourself: where has AI already shown up in our organization — officially or not? Bring the list. Most leaders find at least one entry that surprises them.
One hour. Live. The reality check first, the policy conversation after — and the exact question to bring to your team this week either way.
I built this hour because the AI conversation reaching nonprofit leaders right now is mostly panic or sales. This is neither. It's what's actually happening inside organizations like yours, told plainly, with the one thing you can do about it this week.
Come get ready for the question your board is going to ask.
