How We Work With You
At Frame and Forge, we help nonprofits and advocacy groups use AI in ways that reflect their values and create meaningful impact.
You’re not exploring AI for the sake of innovation. You’re working to reach people faster, protect sensitive data, and make limited resources go further. You need tools that support your mission, not ones that add confusion or compromise trust.
Most AI isn’t designed for this kind of work. Ours is.
We offer strategy, design, training, and audits shaped by the realities nonprofits face every day. That might mean co-creating a chatbot to answer client questions with care and accuracy. It could be helping your team understand the risks and opportunities AI brings, or reviewing your tools to make sure they align with your values.
Our work is grounded in ethics, equity, and real-world solutions. Explore our services to see how we can support your team with AI that’s thoughtful, practical, and built to serve.
Our Services
Strategy Consulting
Make sense of what’s possible.
Build what’s meaningful.
Many nonprofits feel overwhelmed by the noise around AI. They know it could help—but they don’t know where to start, what’s worth investing in, or how to ensure it aligns with their mission.
We provide one-on-one strategic consulting to help you cut through the hype and build a clear, values-driven roadmap. From identifying use cases to mapping out responsible adoption, we help you shape an AI strategy that supports your team, your goals, and your community.
AI Workshops & Team Training
Build internal confidence, not just capacity.
Staff hesitation and skill gaps are some of the biggest roadblocks to ethical AI adoption. We offer custom training and workshops that demystify AI and engage your entire team-whether they’re curious, cautious, or somewhere in between.
From “AI 101” for nonprofit staff to deep dives on equity, bias, and compassionate design, we help your team build clarity and comfort with emerging technologies. Our approach centers human dignity, not just technical skills.
Strategic AI Design & Implementation Support
No cookie-cutter tech. Just human-centered solutions.
Many AI tools are built for businesses—not nonprofits. At Frame and Forge, we work with you to design, prototype, and implement AI-powered solutions that reflect your values and meet real needs.
Whether it’s building a chatbot for community health support, automating internal workflows, or visualizing impact data, we lead the process with strategy, ethics, and usability in mind. You bring the mission—we’ll help you build the tech that serves it.
AI Audits & Ethical Governance
Protect trust. Prevent harm. Promote transparency.
Mission-driven organizations work in sensitive, high-stakes environments—often with vulnerable communities and private data. If you’re already using AI or exploring new tools, our audits and governance services ensure your systems are working for your values, not against them.
We assess for bias, privacy risk, and ethical alignment, then help you build internal policies, safeguards, and review practices that hold your technology accountable.
Change Management & Long-Term Support
Sustainable AI starts with strong stewardship.
Adopting AI is more than a technical project—it’s an organizational shift. We help you plan, communicate, and lead that shift with transparency and care.
Our ongoing support services include rollout strategy, impact measurement, refresher trainings, and leadership advising. Whether you need help navigating team buy-in or staying aligned as tools evolve, we’re your partner in ensuring AI continues to serve your mission long after the pilot phase.
FRAME + FORGE

From ethical chatbot design to internal policy development, we bring the tools, frameworks, and expertise to help you make responsible and informed decisions about emerging technology.

We bring deep knowledge of what is at stake and what is possible. At Frame + Forge, we believe the way we build technology should reflect the world we want to live in. Our approach is collaborative, justice-rooted, and tailored to your goals. AI should not be reserved for tech giants. It should be a tool for liberation, equity, and lasting change.
