1:1 LEADER & FUNDER SESSIONS

FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AND FUNDERS MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT AI, GRANTS, AND THE MOVEMENT

These are collaborative sessions for executive directors, funders, and senior movement leaders who want to understand what AI can do now, explore workflows relevant to their role, and think through what adoption looks like in their organizations or funding work.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

GRANTMAKERS AND FUNDERS

MOVEMENT LEADERS

GET ORIENTED,
THEN GET SPECIFIC.

These sessions usually have two layers. First, we help leaders understand what is changing in AI and what actually matters now. Second, we apply that understanding to the workflows, decisions, and organizational questions closest to their role.

In a short sprint, we help leaders make sense of the AI landscape, identify where it could change their work, and decide how AI fits into their organization, funding strategy, or change-management priorities.

GROUNDED IN CONVERSATIONS WITH LEADERS

This offering comes from conversations and work with executive directors, funders, and senior movement leaders. Many AI adoption questions repeat across organizations, but the right next step depends on the leader, team, and context. The goal is to find the most useful next steps for your situation.

START WITH THE DECISION OR UNCERTAINTY YOU’RE WORKING THROUGH

The best sessions start with the question that feels important, confusing, or hard to act on, whether that is an internal workflow, an adoption challenge, or what AI means for the broader movement.
