The Leaders Behind the Movement

We helped build the pro bono movement. Now we're building the boards nonprofits need for the AI era.

Nonprofit Tech Governance Congress

The Nonprofit Tech Governance Congress brings together experts from tech, philanthropy, and civil society to define shared standards for responsible tech adoption at the board level. This work addresses urgent risks like bias, surveillance, and exclusion, and creates the leadership infrastructure every product, grant, and innovation needs to succeed. The Congress aligns funders, companies, and nonprofits so AI and digital transformation deliver real impact.
