AI for Nonprofits: A Manitoba AI Pathways Workshop
ABOUT EVENT:
AI For Nonprofits
Speakers: Blueprint Inc. & Neralake Inc.
AI is already part of your organization, whether you have a policy for it or not. Now the challenge is using it responsibly, practically, and in a way that actually sticks.
In this interactive, hands-on workshop designed specifically for non-profit leaders, you’ll join Blueprint Inc. and table facilitators from Neralake Inc. to work through AI adoption using your own organization as the starting point. Sessions are structured so that you’re not just listening; you’re applying frameworks to your real context in real time.
You’ll move through a focused, fast-paced session designed to feel like working time, not training time. Expect discussion prompts, live demonstrations, and small group work every step of the way, with a clear output you can take back to your team.
You’ll exit this session with a clearer view of how to:
- Identify low-risk, high-value AI use cases that fit your non-profit right now
- Understand the line between personal and professional AI use and why it matters
- Build or refine an internal AI policy grounded in ethics, privacy, and accountability
Whether you’re just beginning to explore AI or already using it and wondering if you’re doing it right, register now to leave with something concrete you can put to work immediately.
This event is part of Manitoba AI Pathways, led by the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce in partnership with The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce and the broader chamber network.
