Innovations for the Community.
Community Innovations Foundation (501(c)(3) nonprofit) empowers underserved communities to understand and harness AI for sustainable progress and mutual prosperity.
AI Resource Library
Free online classes for small teams, covering marketing, fundraising, operations, and more.
Built from our in-person workshops with SCORE Orange County.
AI is Here, but Not Equitably.
Organizations that have capital and technical staff are already benefiting. Underserved communities are last in line and least equipped to adopt it. CIF exists to redistributes that by building capacity for the nonprofits serving these communities.
Thanks to your contributions, we get to keep our programs affordable and accessible.

The internet is an ocean of information with hidden opportunities. To fish for prospects, you need tools that are right for you! With AI, you can custom-build the right tools. Attend our in-person workshop to learn how. Take-aways from this workshop: 1. A spreadsheet of leads for your business, including organization names, contacts, how to reach them, why each one is a good fit, and an outreach plan. 2. A reusable set of prompts and execution steps, so you can run this process again on your own, for free, whenever you need a fresh batch of leads. At the workshop you’ll be guided, step by step, to implement the prospecting tool on your laptop. At the end of the workshop, you will have a prospect list and will have learned how to run (and tweak, if needed) the tool whenever you need in the future.
What We Do
Two things to know: where we focus, and how the work gets done.
Three areas where AI access decides who gets ahead
- K-12 education
- Students meeting AI for the first time, in classrooms and libraries.
- Workforce development
- Job seekers and career changers who need the skill employers are already asking for.
- Economic mobility
- Owners and operators of the small organizations holding neighborhoods together.
How We Amplify Impact
- Working alongside nonprofits
- They bring the problem and the people. We build the workshop, the self-paced class, and the prompts, then train their facilitators to run it under their own name.
- Building capacity for nonprofits
- A scored readiness assessment run alongside the staff doing the work, then applied training for the specific people it identifies. Their team builds the workflow with us guiding, so a named internal owner and a signed AI use policy stay behind.
