Questions, answered.

What is Org of One?

Org of One (orgofone.com) is run by Utlyze for small nonprofits and mission-driven teams. It covers practical AI for the back office: policies, grant writing within funder rules, donor data, program reporting and first projects.

Who is Org of One for?

Executive directors and operations leads at nonprofits with few staff and tight budgets, who answer to funders, donors, volunteers and a board.

Does a small nonprofit need an AI policy?

If staff or volunteers use AI tools, a short written policy helps. It usually names approved tools, the data that must never go in, who reviews output, and what you tell funders and donors. This is general education, not legal advice.

Can we use AI to write grant proposals?

Check each funder’s rules first, because they differ. Whatever you submit, your organization stays responsible for its accuracy. This is education, not fundraising-compliance advice.

How do we protect donor data when staff use AI?

Keep donor records out of consumer AI tools. Use business accounts with data controls, limit who can reach donor data, and write the rule down. Privacy law varies by place, so confirm specifics with a qualified adviser.

What is a good first AI project for a five-person nonprofit?

One repetitive task with a clear quality check: drafting thank-you letters, summarizing case notes or turning program data into a first-draft report. A person reviews every output before it leaves the building.

Can AI help turn program data into an impact report?

It can draft the narrative and tables from data you already hold. Every number still needs checking against the source records, and anything about the people you serve should stay anonymous.

How much are Consult and Build?

Consult is $400 an hour, booked in 5-hour blocks, so a first booking is $2,000. Build is $15,000 a month. Each month, pick up to 5 business processes for our build-with-you coaches to work on. They build your AI systems with you and teach your team to run them. If you ever leave, the systems stay with you. Agents work only on your systems, and a shared 24/7 on-call rotation answers, with response times in writing.

How is this different from Business of One?

Business of One serves owners building AI-first companies. Org of One starts from nonprofit constraints: funders, donors, volunteers, boards and restricted budgets. Utlyze runs both, and both offer Consult and Build on the same terms.

Is this legal, tax or fundraising-compliance advice?

No. What we share about nonprofit law, tax, charitable solicitation, employment, security or privacy is education only. For decisions, talk to a qualified adviser who knows your organization and where it operates.
