1. NFP and Philanthropy Guardrails for AI Safety Standards

The 10 guardrails from the Voluntary AI Safety Standard are a useful starting point, however they are designed to be industry-agnostic. Seer Data, with help from Dr Ian Oppermann, has tailor-made this guide for not-for-profits and philanthropy to operationalise safe AI standards.

This is a plain language, practical guide to adopting the voluntary standards and aligns with Australian and international AI assurance frameworks, through the lens of purpose-driven organisations, community values and social impact.

Why it matters: Most organisations are already using AI without formal policies or oversight and the standards are confusing. These plain-language guardrails empower not-for-profits and philanthropic organisations to take control of AI use, protecting data privacy, integrity, and trust.

2. Board & Executive Pack + Presentation

Equip your Board and leaders with what they need to know to use AI strategically and safely.

The pack includes:

• Foundations for safe and responsible AI
• How to operationalise AI Assurance
• 5 things you should know

We can help educate your Board and Executive. This resource includes the option for a presentation to your Board/Executive team by Kristi Mansfield, Founder & CEO of Seer Data.

Why it matters: Boards and Executives are accountable for the ethical use of AI, data governance and systems. This resource outlines what they need to know for structured engagement, helping leaders move from a position of fear or “hype”, to confident, responsible oversight.

3. Consultation – How to Safely Apply AI for Impact Measurement

Register for a 1:1 with Seer Data on how to safely use AI in measuring impact and telling your story.

After a brief exploration of your impact measurement goals, this consultation will introduce safe and ethical ways to apply AI in measuring outcomes and demonstrating impact to your varied stakeholder groups. Expect to come away from this session with a strong understanding of:

• When to use AI to reduce manual reporting;
• The governance, transparency and human oversight required for credibility and trust; and
• What to do and to avoid.

Why it matters: Measuring and reporting impact is core to building and maintaining trust. With the right safeguards in place, AI can be a powerful tool for impact storytelling.
