Human First Futures

Human First Futures (HFF) exists to help mission-driven leaders align artificial intelligence with their core values. We bring clarity, ethics, and accountability into the conversation, offering tools, training, and strategic sprints that transform AI risk into human-centered opportunity. If you're using AI—or even if you're not sure—you need a plan. HFF is here to help you.

AI is already making decisions inside your organization—whether you approved it or not.

Why Human First?

Human First Futures emerged at the intersection of philanthropy, the nonprofit ecosystem, and rapid AI advancement. Our team brings:

  • High impact nonprofit leadership

  • Nationally recognized expertise in philanthropic strategy

  • Decades of lived experience in technology, innovation, and mission-first thinking

Everywhere we look, we see smart leaders overwhelmed by AI hype, uncertain about ethical implications, and operating without guidance. Meanwhile, mission-focused organizations are being left behind. HFF exists to close that gap.
