May L. Harris, Esq., M.A.
Founder, For Purpose OS & For Purpose Law Group
May L. Harris is the founder of For Purpose OS and the founder and managing attorney at For Purpose Law Group. A trusted advisor to nonprofits nationwide, she brings decades of legal and leadership experience to mission-driven organizations, and she writes about nonprofit law, governance, and strategy with a focus on real-world application.
May was already practicing law when a flyer came home in her son's lunchbox asking for a parent who was also a lawyer to help start a nonprofit foundation. She helped found the organization, stepped into the Executive Director role as it grew, and returned to the University of San Diego for a Master's in Nonprofit Leadership and Management while running it. She founded For Purpose Law Group in 2012.
She is the creator of the CLARITY Framework and the architect behind ēosIQ and Akademia. She has been selected to the San Diego Super Lawyers list in 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Who is AI with Clarity for?
Any nonprofit leader whose team is using AI tools, or about to, and who needs a governance-first answer rather than a list of prompts.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. This is a governance course, not a technical one. It deals with what to feed these tools, what to keep out of them, and what your policy should say.
Why is this one free?
Because the risk it addresses is already live in most organizations. It is included with every Akademia subscription and with the free tier, and it is not sold separately.
What do I get besides the lessons?
Two downloadable resources. The AI Use Policy Guide gives you the essentials of a policy your board and staff can follow, rather than a document nobody reads.
How does this relate to ēosIQ?
This course was designed alongside ēosIQ, and the principles it teaches are the same ones that platform was built on: clarity, accountability, and keeping a human in the loop at every step.
