Built by someone who has done the work.
Nonprofits across this country are building food pantries, running after-school programs, advocating for immigrant families, supporting survivors of violence, and holding communities together. And they're doing it with less, less staff, less time, less budget, and less access to the technology that larger, better-resourced organizations take for granted.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how organizations communicate, operate, and raise funds. Right now, that power is concentrating at the top. Nonprofit AI Studio exists to change that.
I help nonprofits use AI responsibly, starting with clear, customized policies that protect the people you serve. We also share free training and resources, because every organization deserves a place to start, no technical background required.
About Me.
I'm Carmen Tomshack, founder of Nonprofit AI Studio. I've spent more than twenty years working in and alongside nonprofits and the public sector, in operations, fundraising, communications, program management, and policy. I hold a master's degree in Public Administration from Columbia University, with a focus on policy, and I've spent my career turning complicated requirements into clear, usable guidance that real teams can actually follow.
I specialize in working with organizations addressing housing and homelessness, the environment, women's and children's issues, education, and economic development. Over the years I've raised millions of dollars for grassroots organizations, directed more than $100 million in workforce and education programs, and overseen social services for tens of thousands of families. I've spent much of my career working closely with donor data, so I understand firsthand how sensitive that information is and how much care it deserves.
This work isn't about dense legal language that sits in a drawer. It's about practical, plain-language policies that help your team use AI with confidence while protecting the people who trust you with their information. That's the gap I built Nonprofit AI Studio to fill.
AI is not a threat to mission-driven work. It's a tool, and like any tool, it's most powerful in experienced hands. I’m here to put it in yours.
