Why this exists

Many partnership documents record risk and signatures. This generator records responsibility, reciprocity, and renewal in language that teams can actually use.

Standard MOUs came out of risk management. They were shaped to protect institutions while leaving community responsibility vague or unstated.

The Ethical MOU Generator carries a different standard. It centers community protection, shared authority, and clear return for everyone involved in the work.

Every clause reflects Indigenous Systems Thinking: power shared through relationship, decisions held in structure, and renewal written into the agreement.

Who this is for

Built for teams that carry real responsibility across community, research, funding, and public systems.

Tribal–university partnerships

When Nations, colleges, and institutes share programs, data, or story work and need written structure that protects community authority.

Programs and departments

When a unit manages recurring partnerships each year and staff need a consistent way to name roles, timelines, and review cycles.

Funders and intermediaries

When a funder backs community-led work and wants reciprocity, reporting, and renewal built into the agreement from day one.

Government and public agencies

When cities, states, and ministries coordinate with Native organizations and need a record that carries consent and accountability.

Why institutions move to the generator

Institutions choose the Ethical MOU Generator because it replaces slow, expensive consulting with a repeatable ethical standard your teams can use immediately.

Ethical design principles

The generator follows simple rules: no extraction, no hidden collection, and no surprises for your partners.

Data stays with you

You enter information, generate your agreement, and download it. The structure is yours to keep and adapt with your legal team.

No surveillance logic

The tool is designed to support partnership, not monitor it. The focus stays on clear commitments and shared responsibility.

Control stays local

Your institution retains control over access, storage, and versioning. The generator supports your governance; it does not replace it.

Governance over convenience

The output is built to satisfy boards, funders, and community review. The goal is structure that proves care, not quick paperwork.

One shared standard

Staff move away from pieced-together documents and toward one ethical structure for every partnership.

Questions you might have

Is this legal advice?

No. The generator provides structured, ethics-driven templates. Your legal team should review and approve final agreements before signing.

How is this different from free templates online?

Most templates ignore reciprocity, partner authority, and renewal. This generator gives teams a structure that protects relationships and documents return.

What if our institution is not Indigenous-led?

Any institution can use this tool. The structure centers community protection, shared authority, and clear commitments across sectors.

Can we use this with our existing legal templates?

Yes. Many teams generate the ethical structure here, then merge the clauses into their existing legal templates for review.

Can multiple people use the Institutional License?

Yes. The Institutional License covers a full college, division, or directorate within the license year.

How does this connect to your other tools?

The Ethical MOU Generator is the first install in the Ethical Tech Stack, which includes the Return Governance System and data policy tools that align agreements, data, and labor practices.

How fast can we start?

Immediate access. Most teams build their first MOU in under an hour.

Put your ethics in writing.

Every partnership carries responsibility. The Ethical MOU Generator gives your team a fast, repeatable way to document reciprocity, consent, and renewal in clear language that partners and legal teams can review.
