Terms of Use

Effective date: July 11, 2026

Welcome to centerfornonprofitai.org, operated by the Center for Nonprofit AI ("CNAI," "we," "us"). By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Our content is guidance, not professional advice

Everything on this site, including articles, reports, templates, the AI Readiness Assessment, and any results or recommendations it produces, is provided for general informational and educational purposes. It is not legal, financial, tax, or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from qualified professionals who know your organization's specific circumstances. Decisions about AI adoption, governance, policy, and risk are yours to make, and we encourage you to involve your board, counsel, and advisors where appropriate.

The AI Readiness Assessment

The assessment is a self-reported diagnostic. Its results reflect the answers you provide and are intended to be directional, helping you identify strengths and gaps, not an audit, certification, or guarantee of any outcome. How assessment data is handled is described in our Privacy Policy.

Templates and downloads

Templates and other downloadable resources we publish, such as our nonprofit AI policy template, are provided so organizations can adapt them for their own internal use. You may customize them freely for your organization. You may not resell them, redistribute them as your own work, or remove CNAI attribution from unmodified copies. Templates are starting points and should be reviewed by your leadership, and where appropriate your counsel, before adoption.

Intellectual property

The content on this site, including text, frameworks, graphics, and the CNAI name and logo, is owned by the Center for Nonprofit AI unless otherwise noted. You may quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link. For republication or other uses, ask us first through the contact form.

Guest contributions

If you submit a pitch or article through our Write for CNAI program, you confirm the work is your own and does not infringe anyone else's rights. Submission does not guarantee publication. Specific editorial terms, including attribution and any rights granted to CNAI, are covered in our guest author guidelines and confirmed with you before publication.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the site, including attempting to gain unauthorized access, interfering with its operation, scraping form endpoints, or submitting false or misleading information through our forms.

Third-party links

We link to outside websites, including research sources we cite. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices.

No warranties; limitation of liability

The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. While we work hard to keep our content accurate and current, the AI landscape changes quickly and we do not warrant that all information is error-free or up to date. To the fullest extent permitted by law, CNAI will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted to this page, and the effective date above will be updated.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
