AI Governance and Operational Policy and Procedures Template

A practical package for EDs and board members in BC Artificial intelligence tools are entering nonprofit workplaces whether organizations have formally adopted them or not. Drafting assistants, meeting transcription apps, search tools, and AI-enabled vendor platforms are already shaping how work gets done — and how organizational information moves. For nonprofit boards and executive directors, this creates both opportunity and responsibility. Governance cannot wait until AI is fully rolled out. The question is not whether your organization will be affected by AI, but whether your leadership is prepared to guide its use in ways that protect trust, safeguard the people you serve, and align with your mission and values. Vantage Point has developed this three-part resource to support nonprofit organizations in BC to approach AI governance with clarity and confidence. Each document serves a distinct purpose and can be used independently or as a complete set.
