Nobody's said what the rules are. This free hour is where that changes — the Canadian legal picture, federal and provincial, and how to have the conversation with your team about what's acceptable. You leave with the one-page framework and the team worksheet.
Why this hour exists
Your organization is already using AI.
In browser tabs. On personal phones. In the grant draft that came together suspiciously fast. In the donor email someone tidied up over lunch. Nowhere in a policy.
Your people are stretched and the tools are free. 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.
The rules, then the conversation. Both usable the same day.
The laws and frameworks actually landing on Canadian charities right now — federal and provincial, and they don't line up neatly. What they cover, where they overlap, and where the gaps are.
Guidance only. Anything you adopt should go past your lawyer first.
What's acceptable, what isn't, and how to say so out loud without either frightening your people or pretending you have it all figured out. Most policies skip this. It's the part that decides whether anyone actually follows the thing.
Everyone leaves with the materials. The one-page AI policy framework built for Canadian charities, and the worksheet for running the conversation with your team. The actual files, yours to keep.
Bring your situation to the Q&A — we'll take a few live. This is deliberately small — a few teams rather than a room — so yours has a real chance at airtime.

Pre-empting "is this a sales webinar"
The one-page framework and the team worksheet are yours, free, whether you ever spend a dollar with me or not.
There is a fuller paid toolkit for organizations that want the incident playbook, the board explainer and the rest. I'll mention it once, near the end, and then move on.
The hour is yours either way.
Executive directors, ops leads, and whoever 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 boundary: this is guidance only. Your lawyer should be reviewing anything your board adopts.
Yes. Register with an email, get a Zoom link. No card, nothing to cancel.
Yes — everyone who registers gets the replay for a few days afterward. Live is better, because the Q&A takes live situations. But register either way and the recording finds you.
No. This is guidance only. Your lawyer should review your policy before your board adopts it.
No. You're deciding who can use what, and when. That's a governance call.
One mention of a paid toolkit near the end. That's the whole catch, and you now know it going in. The materials are yours regardless.
Yes. The one-page AI policy framework for Canadian charities and the team-conversation worksheet go to everyone who registers, live or replay.
Your own situation — the Q&A takes a few live, and a small room means yours has a real chance. If you want a head start: ask yourself where AI has already shown up in your organization, officially or not, and bring that list.
A few teams rather than a room. If you need it to be worth your afternoon, it needs to be small enough that your situation gets airtime.
One hour, live, deliberately small. The Canadian legal picture and the conversation to have with your team. You keep the materials either way.
I built this hour because the AI conversation reaching nonprofit leaders right now is mostly panic or sales. I wanted to run the version that's just useful — 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.
