What's inside AI Policy Template

Data Protection & Privacy

Clear guidelines on what data can and cannot be shared with AI systems, compliant with UK GDPR.

Acceptable Use Standards

Specific examples of appropriate and inappropriate AI applications across fundraising and operations.

Quality Control Requirements

Human oversight protocols for AI-generated content and fact-checking procedures.

Tool Selection Criteria

How to evaluate AI platforms for security, ethics, and effectiveness.

Ethical Frameworks

Bias detection and mitigation strategies tailored to charity contexts.

Implementation Guidance

A step-by-step rollout process that won't overwhelm your team.

Avoid the common pitfalls

Too restrictive

Banning AI drives usage underground where you have zero visibility or control.

Too vague

Generic statements like "use AI responsibly" mean nothing and create confusion.

Corporate copy-paste

Most templates ignore charity-specific challenges like safeguarding and limited resources.

Set and forget

AI evolves rapidly; a policy written six months ago is already outdated.
