AI adoption is not just about software. It requires a governance shift. Boards and leadership teams must recognize that responsible use of AI is now part of organizational stewardship. That means developing policies, asking tough ethical questions, and ensuring accountability. Without this, nonprofits risk undermining trust—their most valuable asset.

While many nonprofits are deeply focused on delivering their mission, far too few recognize how essential a high-functioning board is to achieving that mission. And the cost of ignoring dysfunction? It’s steeper than many volunteers realize.
