About the initiative
The Responsible AI Adoption for Social Impact (RAISE) pilot program is a national initiative to help nonprofit organizations across Canada responsibly and effectively adopt artificial intelligence (AI).

In collaboration with the Human Feedback Foundation, Creative Destruction Lab and the Dais at TMU, RAISE features three components:
- A responsible AI adoption framework co-developed with participating nonprofits to guide responsible AI adoption across the sector (Human Feedback Foundation)
- An organizational AI adoption accelerator program for 5 large nonprofit organizations to adopt AI in alignment with their missions (Creative Destruction Lab)
- Targeted training for 500 nonprofit professionals to build AI literacy and integrate AI into roles like fundraising, data stewardship, policy, and service delivery (The Dais)
