Welcome to your Nonprofit AI Workspace

AI is transforming the way we work. But few nonprofits enjoy access to secure, reliable AI tools. That's why we created our free AI workspace for Ontario nonprofits. The workspace is the first offering from the Generative AI Lab for Ontario Nonprofits, a project by LogicalOutcomes with support from Ontario Trillium Foundation.

How it works:

  • Access AI assistants tailored for nonprofits, free of cost.

  • Select from a set of AI assistants built with the latest large language models (LLMs).

  • Use our prompts to help with research, writing, strategy, and more. 

Get access

  1. Complete the interest form to the right. This helps us verify your eligibility*. 

  2. You’ll receive an email with instructions to sign up. 

*This service is available exclusively to staff and volunteers with Canadian registered nonprofits that offer community-based services in Ontario. If you don’t meet those criteria, you can still complete the interest form. We will reach out to you if the eligibility criteria change.

About the AI lab

Why this lab matters

  • AI is evolving rapidly: Nonprofits need support to navigate and leverage these changes effectively.

  • Learning by doing: Organizations can develop cost-effective solutions through hands-on AI experience.

  • Impact focus: We emphasize the use of AI to expand organizational effectiveness and social impact, not just reduce costs.

  • Expert innovation: Nonprofit professionals, with their deep sector knowledge, are uniquely positioned to discover valuable AI applications when paired with technical expertise.

  • Collaborative knowledge: The lab environment accelerates innovation and prevents duplicate efforts across the sector.

Our AI principles 

At LogicalOutcomes, our safe and responsible use of AI follows from a set of guiding principles: 

  • Accountability: Human team members must be accountable for the work that we do. When we work with AI, we review and validate outputs for accuracy and clarity.  

  • Data privacy: We strip identifiers from datasets prior to analysis, and ask that anyone using our AI tools do the same. Any AI-supported analysis of sensitive data takes place in special environments, which we configure for this purpose. We don’t share sensitive data with the LLMs in our Nonprofit AI Workspace.

  • Transparency: We clearly disclose use of AI, and are happy to discuss benefits, risks and mitigation strategies.

  • Responsible development: We co-design AI tools with users, prioritizing security, sustainability, accessibility and usefulness.  

  • Learn and improve: We keep up with AI advances (as best we can), test new tools, and apply feedback for ongoing improvement.
