AI Policy & Operating Kit

For nonprofit and small-business leaders whose staff are already using AI, often without shared rules.

Not just an AI policy. A routine your team actually runs.

A plain-language AI policy your leadership or board can adopt, with briefing materials, staff guidance, a named owner, and a routine that keeps it working.

  • A leadership or board deck and resolution, ready to present and adopt
  • A one-page staff guide and a 45-minute staff training
  • A simple routine: one owner, one agenda line, a short review

You pay $149. The eight files arrive by email within a few minutes of purchase. You fill in five decision boxes, brief your leadership or board with the deck, and name your owner.

Secure checkout with Stripe · Download link by email · Editable Word and PowerPoint.

"I knew that an AI policy was necessary for our organizational success but had no idea where to start. Luisa had a wealth of knowledge and crafted a policy based on our own needs and priorities."

Your team is already using AI. A policy only works when someone owns it.

The problem

  • Staff are already using AI tools. Some you chose. Some arrived as new features inside software you already pay for.
  • Most policies get adopted and forgotten. Leadership or the board signs off, the file goes in a folder, and nobody looks at it again.
  • Free templates give you words, not a system. There is no owner, no review, and no way for your leadership or board to see that the policy is working.

The routine in this kit

  • One owner. One named person is responsible for AI questions and requests.
  • One standing agenda line. "AI: new tool requests, questions, incidents." A few minutes at a meeting you already hold.
  • A short review. Twenty minutes, twice a year or quarterly, to check what changed.
  • Two or three measures. Simple signs that the policy is being used.
  • A one-page yearly update for your leadership team or board, so they see how it is going without extra meetings.

Five decision boxes tailor the policy. You also get materials for your leadership or board, staff guidance, a named owner, and a routine.

Straight answers to common questions.

There are free AI policy templates. Why pay for this?

Some free templates are good. A template gives you words. This kit also gives you an owner, a review routine, materials for your leadership or board, and staff training, so the policy keeps working after it is adopted.

We're very small. Do we need this?

Small teams have the least room for a privacy mistake and the most to gain from time saved. The kit is built to be run by a busy team without extra staff.

How long does setup take?

Most of the work is filling in five decision boxes and one meeting with your leadership or board. The Keep It Running Guide includes a 90-day rollout plan and a first-30-days checklist so you can pace it.

Who on our team should own this?

One named person, often whoever already handles operations, HR, or administration. It does not need to be a technical role. The Keep It Running Guide explains what the owner does.

We serve survivors, minors, patients, or legal clients. Does it cover us?

An optional higher-risk appendix adds extra care for sensitive information. Use it alongside the main policy.

Is this legal advice?

No. The kit is a practical starting point, not legal advice. We recommend having an attorney review your final policy before adoption.

Can we get a refund?

All kit sales are final, because you get the files as soon as you buy. Here's exactly what's in the kit before you buy. If you want help making it fit, Kit + Expert Review adds one 90-minute session with Luisa and one round of written markup within 5 business days.
