In conversations with nonprofit and mission-driven leaders, I often hear the same concerns: they know AI matters, but they’re not sure how they should apply it. In many organizations, governance is still catching up while staff members are already bringing their own AI tools into the workplace, creating a disconnected mix of platforms and practices.
Nonprofit and mission-driven organizations also worry about how AI usage may affect authenticity and trust with clients, members, and donors. I can relate to this from lived experience.
For Ministries
If you lead a ministry, you may have additional concerns: whether AI can serve work rooted in Scripture without distorting it. I’ve walked that road while serving on leadership teams for national faith-based organizations, and it begins with one commitment: people, never tools, remain the guardians of the content.
AI implementation is not simply a technology change; it is at its very center a people and organizational change.

From the Inside:
I led marketing and communications for a decade at American Heritage Girls, a national faith-based nonprofit, where I brought a cautious leadership team to AI adoption.
I serve on the Advisory Council of the Christian Leadership Alliance as its Marketing Subject Matter Expert, and facilitate courses in its Credentialed Christian Nonprofit Leader program.
The C3 AI Readiness Roadmap helps nonprofits and mission-driven organizations determine where AI can add real value, what to prioritize first, and how to prepare their people for the changes ahead.
The C3 AI Readiness Roadmap Engagement Includes:
Two strategy sessions, one customized 90-Day Roadmap, and practical guidance for what comes next. From first conversation to delivered Roadmap, most engagements run three to four weeks.
Clear distinctions between:
Do Now • Get Help • Not Yet™
What you receive:
- Meeting #1: a focused discovery session exploring your organization’s current AI use, staff readiness, workflow challenges, priorities, and concerns
- Independent analysis and research following our conversation
- Deliverable: a customized 90-Day AI Readiness Roadmap identifying the most practical opportunities for your organization
- Meeting #2: a follow-up strategy session to walk through Roadmap recommendations with clear distinctions between what to do now, when to get help, and what can wait
- Clear guidance on what your team can tackle independently, what may require additional support, and what simply isn’t worth pursuing yet
What’s in the Roadmap?
Your customized 90-Day AI Roadmap may include:
- Your highest-priority AI opportunities and practical quick wins
- Potential workflow, training, governance, or pilot opportunities worth exploring
- Recommended guardrails and considerations for responsible use
- A practical sequence for the next 90 days, including suggested measures of success
- Clear distinctions between Do Now, Get Help, and Not Yet™
Before our first meeting, I’ll review your AI-Readiness Scorecard (or send one to complete), a brief organizational intake, and relevant background information so we can focus our time together on your opportunities and challenges. My goal is to help you decide where AI can genuinely save time, strengthen your work processes, and support your mission, all while keeping people firmly in charge.
I spent fifteen years at Procter & Gamble before building the marketing function at a national nonprofit from scratch. My career has spanned major changes in marketing and communications, from traditional brand building to digital transformation and now AI. Read my story.
Is the C3 AI Readiness Roadmap Right for Your Organization?
Not the decision-maker? Start with my free AI-Readiness Scorecard. The Scorecard gives you something concrete to present to your leadership.
The C3 AI Readiness Roadmap is designed for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations that know AI deserves attention but need help determining where to go next. Whether staff is already experimenting independently or leadership is just beginning the conversation, the process helps identify what is worth pursuing now, what may require guardrails or training, and what can wait.
C3 is intentionally small. You’ll work directly with me, not a large consulting team or technology vendor. I provide practical guidance built around what makes sense for your organization, your resources, and staffing challenges. No handoffs and no pressure to purchase tech you may not need.
Run a small business? The same two-session engagement process applies.
Let’s start with a free 20-minute exploratory call to see if C3 is a fit for you.
Example of AI Done Right:
Facebook Post shared by Gavin Brown, VP of Advancement at Transitions Homeless Center, in response to David Brooks’ article “The People Who Will Thrive in the AI Age“, The Atlantic, 28 June 2026:
“As a nonprofit development officer, AI has changed how I work. But we’ve been intentional about it, grounded in clear SOPs and guidelines…AI hasn’t replaced our expertise. It’s amplified it, freeing our team to focus on what matters most: relationships and mission.“
For many organizations, the C3 AI Readiness Roadmap is the right place to begin. Some move the plan forward on their own, which is a successful outcome. Others choose to continue working with me for additional support with implementation, training, change management, governance, or communications. I’m happy to help with what comes next.
