Fair access
Safe AI adoption should not only be available to organisations with corporate budgets.
The AI Adoption Initiative
I have worked with charities and not-for-profits since 2013. I want the people doing hard, useful work to have a fairer route to safe AI tools, training and risk support. This is the charitable wing of AI-adoption.net, created to help provide free and accessible AI and general technology assistance and training to non-profit and other charitable organisations.
AI should not widen the gap.
A two-tier AI world is already forming. Well-funded teams get consultants, training, safe tools and risk assessments. Smaller mission-led groups get a few free accounts and the feeling that they are already behind. The Initiative is intended to help close that gap.
Mission first
The point is not to chase shiny tools. The point is to give capable people more time for the work that matters.
Practical help
I focus on rules, workflows and confidence, not expensive reports that never turn into practice.
A free monthly workshop in Helensville.
Each month I will run a practical, welcoming workshop for non-profits and community-funded groups in the north-west Auckland region. We will look at safe, useful ways AI can support everyday work, with plain-language guidance and time for questions.
Drop in when you can.
- Free to attend for non-profits and community-funded groups
- Held locally in Helensville once each month
- Drop-ins are welcome
- Registration is encouraged so I can plan the room and materials
A donation of time and expertise.
The Initiative is my commitment to donate time and practical expertise to charities, community groups and other mission-led organisations that could benefit from safer, more useful AI adoption.
Useful help, given generously.
- Donated readiness conversations and practical advice
- Time spent helping teams choose a safe, useful first step
- Hands-on support with policies, workflows or training where I can help
- A clear charitable commitment kept separate from commercial work
Helping the helpers helps the work reach further.
I cannot be on the front line of every mission. But if I can help the people who are there save time, reduce admin, protect sensitive information and communicate more clearly, then a little of that good travels through the work.
More capacity
Use AI to reduce repeat admin, draft routine materials and make information easier to find.
More confidence
Set clear rules so staff and volunteers know what is safe, what needs review and what stays out.
Could donated expertise help your work?
Tell me what your organisation does, what AI problem is in front of you and where a contribution of time or expertise could make a useful difference.
I will be honest about what I can take on and what kind of support would be most useful.
