AI for Good

Technology has no ethics.
People do.

We help mission-driven organizations adopt AI responsibly, freeing your team from the mundane so they can focus on what matters: community, equity, and meaningful change.

Let's Talk Why I Believe in This

AI is not just code.

It is water, land, electricity, and heat. That is why we built a framework that addresses both how AI is used and the physical infrastructure that powers it.

How I Became an Early Adopter (With Guardrails)

This started with my son in 2017.

My son has a learning delay. When he was in high school, his processing speed made it impossible to listen to a lecture and take notes at the same time. He could do one or the other, but not both. So he sat in class, falling behind, while his classmates moved forward.

Then we found Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Suddenly, he could record and transcribe his classes. He could pay attention to what was being discussed without scrambling to write it all down. He could learn alongside his classmates instead of always playing catch-up.

That was the moment I understood: the right tool does not replace people. It lets them participate.

I started seeing the same struggle everywhere in my professional life. Note takers in meetings, heads down, scribbling furiously, unable to contribute to the actual conversation. Brilliant people stuck doing administrative work instead of the high-value thinking they were hired for.

In 2024, when funding cuts forced me to lay off all of our administrative and operations staff, I made a decision: most of those functions could be automated or AI-augmented. That crisis turned me into an AI advocate. I took the lessons I learned watching my son thrive with the right tools and applied them to my business. Now I am helping other mission-driven organizations do the same, with the guardrails to do it responsibly.

2017
My son began using Dragon NaturallySpeaking to keep up with his classmates. I saw firsthand how the right tool can be an equalizer.
2020
When COVID-19 shifted work to remote settings, JJR adopted Microsoft Planner to stay connected.
2024
Funding cuts required laying off all admin and ops staff. I decided most functions could be automated or AI-augmented. I became an AI advocate.
2025
JJR committed to 50% AI-augmented operations and exceeded that goal. We partnered with Sid Datla of AI by Design and launched micro skill building labs for our team and clients.
Now (2026)
Targeting 80% automation by Q1, rolling out JJR agents with Everworker, and introducing Maptionnaire for community engagement.
If You Are Skeptical, I Get It

Here is what AI actually makes possible

This is not about replacing people. It is about removing barriers so people can do their best work.

♿

For People with Disabilities

Automatic transcription means people who are deaf or hard of hearing have full access to meetings. Voice-to-text means people with motor differences can participate without barriers. AI is assistive technology at scale.

🧠

For Neurodivergent Folks

If your processing speed cannot keep up with listening and writing at the same time, you are not broken. The system is. AI lets you focus on understanding, not transcribing. It lets you play to your strengths.

💪

For Under-Resourced Organizations

Writing a single procurement costs organizations like ours thousands of dollars. If you cannot afford a grant writer, you are already behind. AI levels the playing field so small nonprofits, small businesses, and diverse-owned businesses can compete with well-funded organizations for limited resources.

The Two-Pillar Model

Most conversations about AI ethics are incomplete. Ours is not.

01

Human Responsibility

The ethical use of AI starts and ends with people. AI is only as responsible as the humans who design, deploy, supervise, and govern it.

  • Equitable, transparent, and accountable algorithm use
  • Human-centered design that avoids harm
  • Meaningful community voice through our RAVC framework
  • Culturally responsive data practices
  • Workforce readiness and psychological safety
02

Environmental Responsibility

This is the neglected half of the conversation. AI relies on massive physical infrastructure with real environmental consequences.

  • Water consumption for cooling data centers
  • Land use for industrial facilities
  • Electricity demand for computation
  • Heat as a byproduct affecting local environments
  • Siting decisions that protect vulnerable communities
The JJR 2.0 Transformation

We did not just theorize about AI for Good. We built it.

We uploaded 10+ years of proposals into NotebookLM, a closed-source tool where our data stays contained. Now we can instantly gather previous project experience, identify capabilities, and spot trends in what got awarded versus what did not. No more trying to remember hundreds of bids from memory. No hallucinations. Just our own institutional knowledge, made searchable.

It also helps us see the full range of skills across our consultant team, so people are not pigeonholed into the same projects over and over. They get variety. They stay engaged. They stick around.

"AI should free people from the mundane so they can focus on the meaningful."
A note on consent: All meeting recording, internal and external, requires permission. If even one person opts out, we turn it off. No pressure, no judgment. Client meetings are only recorded with explicit agreement, and many clients decline. We respect that completely.
