Fractional AI Nonprofit Consultant
You need senior AI expertise. You can't afford a full-time hire.
A Fractional AI Nonprofit Consultant gives you strategic AI leadership on a flexible, part-time basis. You get the guidance, governance, and implementation support of a dedicated AI Lead without the commitment, overhead, or constraints of permanent employment.
Hello! I'm Jose, and I believe AI is the great equaliser for nonprofits.
For the first time, small charities can access capabilities previously reserved for corporations with massive budgets. That levels the playing field in ways we've never seen before.
My background spans both worlds. I spent years in corporate environments like Nintendo learning how large organisations leverage technology, then moved into nonprofit strategy, marketing, and fundraising. That combination means I understand both what's technically possible and what actually works in mission-driven organisations with limited resources.
The problem that obsesses me is simple: how do we drive productivity and augment skills in a sector that's historically under-resourced and underfunded? Nonprofits are stretched impossibly thin. AI offers a genuine solution, but only if it's implemented properly rather than becoming another abandoned initiative.
"My approach is no fluff, ruthlessly practical, and embedded in your team. I don't deliver reports and disappear. I stick around to ensure adoption happens, push when momentum stalls, and adapt when reality challenges assumptions. The output? Safe, simple AI that optimises operations and multiplies impact without overwhelming your people or compromising your values."
What "Fractional" Actually Means
Fractional consulting means hiring senior expertise for a portion of their time rather than full-time. Instead of employing someone five days a week, you get strategic leadership for one or two days monthly, matched precisely to your needs and capacity.
This model has become standard for roles like Finance Directors, CTOs, and Marketing Directors where organisations need high-level expertise but can't justify (or afford) a full-time position. Now it's available for AI leadership.
The beauty of fractional work is flexibility. Start with one day monthly while building foundations. Scale up during intensive implementation periods. Scale back once systems are running smoothly. You pay only for the expertise you actually need, when you need it.
For nonprofits navigating AI adoption, this means access to strategic guidance without the recruitment process, salary overhead, or long-term commitment risk of permanent hires. You get senior-level expertise that adapts as your organisation's AI maturity evolves.
What a Fractional AI Nonprofit Consultant Actually Does
Adoption, Not Just Advice
Most AI consultants give you a report and disappear. A Fractional AI Lead for Nonprofits embeds themselves in your organisation, ensuring AI actually gets used instead of gathering dust in a strategy document.
This isn't about delivering frameworks and walking away. It's about being the persistent voice that keeps AI moving forward when your team gets busy, uncertain, or distracted. You get someone who trains your people, inspires them to experiment, supports them when things feel overwhelming, and holds them accountable for actually implementing what you agree together.
The AI landscape shifts weekly. New tools emerge, capabilities expand, costs drop, and best practices evolve. Your fractional consultant keeps you current without requiring your team to become AI researchers. We translate what matters from what's just noise, evaluate new tools against your actual needs, and update your approach as the technology matures.
We build governance frameworks, policy documents, and implementation roadmaps. Then we ensure they're actually used. Monthly check-ins become accountability sessions. Training doesn't stop at a single workshop. Support continues when someone hits a roadblock at 4pm on a Thursday. This is embedded partnership, not consulting theatre.
- Monthly strategy and accountability sessions with your leadership team
- Ongoing training from basic AI literacy to advanced implementation techniques
- Real-time support via Slack or email when decisions need making
- AI governance frameworks that satisfy boards while enabling action
- Tool evaluation as new options emerge (so you don't waste money chasing shiny objects)
- Nudging, encouraging, and sometimes firmly pushing teams to actually use what we build
- Keeping pace with AI developments and translating them into your context
- Plus: Technical Muscle When You Need It. Unlike solo AI nonprofit consultants, you get access to our development team for complex automation builds. Need a sophisticated workflow connecting your CRM to AI-powered donor communications? We build it.
Who This Is For
Nonprofits and schools between "we should probably do something about AI" and "we need this working yesterday."
You're likely a mid-sized organisation (£500k to £5m turnover) where a full-time AI role doesn't make sense. Your leadership team knows AI matters but lacks internal expertise. Your staff are overstretched and need systems that actually work, not more meetings about possibility. Your board or trustees ask legitimate questions about AI governance you can't yet answer. You're facing pressure from funders, competitors, or changing sector expectations.
You need someone who understands both AI capabilities AND nonprofit realities. Someone who can translate board concerns into practical policies, and translate technical possibilities into mission impact. Someone who won't let good intentions die in the implementation gap.
