Overview
This resource is a candid practitioner’s account of how a grantmaking organization integrated AI into its everyday knowledge work to free up staff time. The most transferable lessons are organizational rather than technical: write a clear internal guide on which tools are approved and what they’re good for, designate someone as the directly responsible individual for AI adoption, and lower the friction for staff through short one-on-one sessions and a low-stakes channel for sharing wins and questions. The piece closes with concrete examples of tools the team built, from a grantmaking assistant to a calculation generator to subagent-driven research workflows, framing the work as an early, evolving experiment that other mission-driven organizations can learn from.
