Charity Excellence has brought together a range of free training, tools and resources to help charities use AI safely, effectively and responsibly through its Charity AI Ready campaign.

In association with Microsoft, Charity Excellence offers 11 free online AI courses, designed for people with no previous AI knowledge. Each course takes around 45 minutes, can be completed at your own pace and includes a certificate.

Charities can also access practical resources covering areas including AI governance, data protection, cyber security, policies, risk management, fundraising and responsible use of AI.

The Charity AI Ready programme also includes an online assessment to help organisations understand their preparedness for AI and create an action plan for areas that may need further work.
