This class is taught using ChatGPT
You’ll learn AI fundamentals that apply across platforms—skills you can use with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and beyond.
This Workshop is Perfect for you if:
You’re doing the work of three people, answering emails at night, and wondering how you’re supposed to build meaningful donor relationships when you can barely keep up with your to-do list.
Sound familiar?
This workshop was designed for small and midsize nonprofit professionals—especially those in fundraising and development—who know AI is out there, but haven’t had the time (or support) to figure out how to make it useful.
We’re not here to replace people—we’re here to free them up. To help you spend less time formatting reports and more time nurturing partnerships, thanking donors, and thinking strategically.
If you’ve been AI-curious but unsure where to start, this is your safe, smart, and surprisingly human place to begin.
During This Nonprofit Workshop, You Will Create:
- A personal 30-day plan to start using AI on your own terms
- A task map showing what to automate—and what still needs you
- A checklist of your best “easy wins” with AI
During This Nonprofit Workshop, You Will Learn:
- How to identify your most time-draining tasks—and where AI fits
- How to use AI to write donor thank-yous, appeals, social posts and conduct deep corporate partnership research
- How to create a simple communications plan using AI tools
- How to write better prompts (so you don’t waste time rewriting)
- How to set smart boundaries with AI (yes, including ethics)
- How to save hours each week—and actually use that time well
- How to build internal buy-in up front, handle common objections and lead this initiative (without having to be the AI expert)
During This Nonprofit Workshop, You Will Be Responsible For:
- Participating in live demos and real-world examples
- Completing a short worksheet during the session
- Joining light discussion in chat or small group breakout (optional)
