Learning Hub

Articles, playbooks, and field reports across five content pillars. Organized by what you’re trying to figure out.

How This Hub Is Organized

The Learning Hub is the home of all long-form writing on the site. It’s organized into five content pillars, each addressing a different angle of AI integration for nonprofits and workforce programs. Each pillar has an anchor article you can read right away, plus an archive of newer posts as they’re published.

If you’re not sure where to start, the AI for Nonprofits roadmap is the right entry point for most readers. Federally funded programs should also read the Federal Compliance pillar before adopting tools.

Five Content Pillars

Click a pillar to see all articles in it, or jump straight to the anchor.

AI for Nonprofits

Practical playbooks for nonprofit teams adopting AI. Where to start, what governance to put in place first, how to scope a first use that won’t blow up.

Anchor: A Beginner’s Roadmap →

All articles in this pillar →

AI for Workforce Programs

The specific AI questions facing case managers, job developers, and program leads. WIOA, eligibility, case-noting, labor-market intelligence, state-system integration.

Anchor: Where It Actually Helps →

All articles in this pillar →

Federal Compliance

Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200), allowable costs, allocability, monitoring readiness, and program-specific stricter rules for federally funded teams.

Anchor: Five Questions Before You Spend →

All articles in this pillar →

Ethics & Risk

Data privacy, participant consent, the things to think through before saying yes to an AI tool. The actual ethical questions, not the marketing ones.

Anchor: Beyond the Buzzwords →

All articles in this pillar →

Field Reports

What we tried, what worked, what didn’t, and the actual numbers from grant-funded pilots. Honest documentation that other organizations can learn from.

Coming Soon

Future pillars under consideration: AI for fundraising, AI in evaluation, AI for board governance. Subscriber feedback shapes what we publish next.

Browse by Role

Executive Director: Start with A Beginner’s Roadmap, then Beyond the Buzzwords. If you’re federally funded, add Five Questions Before You Spend.

Program Director: Start with Where It Actually Helps (workforce-focused but applicable broadly), then Beyond the Buzzwords.

Grant Writer: Start at the Grant Funding hub — the three pages there (Finding Grants, Writing Stronger Applications, Grant Directory) are more directly useful than the pillar articles for your day-to-day work.

Board Member: Read A Beginner’s Roadmap and download the Board Brief and Board Briefing Pack.

Compliance Lead: Start with Five Questions Before You Spend, then download the Compliance Quick Reference and Staff Handbook (Appendix C).
