AI How-To: Literacy to Capacity
There’s no shortage of “AI in 60 minutes” webinars promising rapid transformation. But the real challenges of AI adoption aren’t technical—they’re adaptive. Questions about whose voice gets centered, how decisions get made, and what “good work” means in an AI-augmented environment require honest conversation and learning over time, not quick fixes.
This session is a starting point for strategic development, not a tutorial on tools. Whether you’re a two-person family foundation or a large staffed grantmaker, we’ll explore how AI can become a genuine organizational capability that strengthens your work.
What we'll cover:
What AI actually is and why it differs from previous technology cycles
Maintaining human oversight while shaping AI to reflect your foundation’s voice and values
Moving from scattered experimentation to coordinated organizational capability
Supporting grantees through their own AI transitions
Non-promotional and platform-agnostic. A great starting point—and a good complement to our AI Working Sessions for those ready to go deeper.
