“The real risk in nonprofit AI adoption isn’t failure. It’s losing trust.” -Pat Rhoads, Mission:Coactive founder

About Mission:Coactive

Mission:Coactive helps nonprofits navigate the risks of AI integration by providing a path to comprehensive governance and offering effective generative AI solutions.

Who we are:

Mission:Coactive is a nonprofit-focused AI governance resource and support partner.

What we do:

We provide a suite of AI governance templates to help you manage AI in an intentional, strategic way that lowers risk while allowing you to gain the benefits of cutting-edge technology. We can also help you engineer generative AI prompts to gain efficiencies in some of your repetitive work.

Why we do this:

Our founder comes from a nonprofit background; we know nonprofits are already using AI informally, which creates risk and inconsistency. We want to help you mitigate that risk.

Who we work for:

Small- to medium-sized nonprofits who are using or want to use AI, but have limited capacity to create effective governance from scratch.

Why you should work with us:

Our founder combines decades of nonprofit experience, formal AI training, and real-life generative AI implementation experience. We understand the realities most nonprofits live in. (For more on our founder's background and AI certifications, see his LinkedIn profile.)

Meet the founder

Mission:Coactive was founded by Pat Rhoads, a marketing and communications professional with more than 20 years of experience inside nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. From small, community-based organizations to global NGOs, Pat has seen the struggle many nonprofits face firsthand: trying to achieve everything they need with capacity constraints forcing hard choices.

With the explosion of AI, Pat began to experiment with this new tool to increase his own work capacity, and realized he could help other organizations do the same. But he also saw the risk of those tools, and wants to help nonprofits protect themselves while leveraging this technology.

Mission:Coactive is the result. It exists to help nonprofits use AI responsible and safely.
