What happens at a gathering?

A few people show something they've been trying with AI, a tool, a workflow, a prompt, a success or a stumble, about 5 minutes each, then open conversation. No slides, no selling.

Anyone who works in or around a nonprofit and wants to use AI more safely and effectively, every role and level, technical or not. Program staff, leaders, ops folks, volunteers, and yes, the occasional engineer.

Do I need to be technical?

Not at all. Most of us aren't engineers. If you're curious about using AI well for your mission, you belong here.

Yes. It runs on volunteers, mission-aligned venue partners, grants, and donations, not corporate sponsorship or ticket sales.

How it works

How we figure it out.

A place for people in nonprofits, every role, every level, to learn how to use AI safely and effectively. We meet monthly to show what we tried and share what works.

The three rules

No selling, no pitching
