Govern

Who owns AI decisions, what guardrails are written down, and how the board sees it.

Q01Do you have a written AI usage policy that staff and volunteers have actually read?
Q02Is there a single named executive accountable for AI decisions across the organization?
Q03How regularly does the board (or top governance body) review AI-related risk and progress?
Q04Have you defined which AI uses align with your mission and values — and which are off-limits?
