Data strategy & governance
Turn your data and technology from a cost into a strategic asset: build the foundations for evidence-based decisions that drive organisational impact.
Strategic data planning: Turning data into a roadmap for decision-making
Figure out what data you actually need, avoid expensive tools you won't use, and build a realistic plan that fits your budget and team size. We'll help you assess where you are now and identify what will genuinely make a difference to your work.
Data governance & compliance: Keeping data safe and legal
Set up straightforward systems to protect donor and beneficiary information, comply with data protection laws, and make sure only the right people can access sensitive data. We focus on what you actually need, not complex frameworks.
Organisational change management: Getting your team on board
Help your colleagues feel comfortable using data in their work without overwhelming them. Build simple processes and habits that make data useful in day-to-day decisions, rather than letting it become an unused overhead.
Research strategy: Using data in campaigns and advocacy
Develop robust methods for using your data to tell persuasive stories, influence policy, and show your impact to supporters and funders. Turn numbers into narratives that drive change.
AI consulting & implementation
Navigate the AI landscape with confidence. We help you identify where AI can genuinely help, implement solutions safely, and ensure they align with your mission and have measurable impact.
AI strategy & risk assessment: Figuring out if AI is right for you
Not every problem needs AI. We'll help you identify where AI can genuinely save time or improve your work, assess the risks, and make sure any tools you use align with your values and keep your data secure.
AI ethics & compliance: Ensuring responsible AI use
Navigate ethical considerations around bias, transparency, and accountability. Ensure your AI use complies with regulations, respects beneficiary privacy, and aligns with your organisation's values and mission.
AI tool evaluation: Selecting the right solutions
Compare proprietary and open-source AI models, assess technical claims versus reality, and choose tools that balance performance, cost, privacy, and ethical considerations for your specific needs.
AI implementation & automation: Getting started with practical AI tools
Identify and set up practical AI tools to automate repetitive tasks, get support on grant proposals, or speed up research and program evaluation. We focus on tools that deliver measurable time savings.
AI for nonprofit-specific tasks: Grant writing, donor communication, research
Apply AI to core nonprofit functions: strengthen grant proposals while keeping your authentic voice, personalise donor communications, accelerate research, and analyse program data more effectively.
Ongoing support & infrastructure: Building long-term AI capability
Get help as you integrate AI into your workflows, with advice on what works, what doesn't, and how to avoid common pitfalls. We provide ongoing support as your team builds confidence and scales AI use.
