Nonprofits run on lean teams, tight grants, and donor trust that takes years to earn. AI can free up real hours for the work that matters — grant writing, donor cultivation, program impact — but only with guardrails that protect your mission and your stakeholders.
Elizabeth has presented at the Oregon Free and Charitable Clinic Consortium, nonprofit leadership conferences, and foundation events. Every nonprofit session is built around the same idea: AI is a partner to the mission, not a replacement for the human relationships at the center of it.
A hands-on workshop teaching nonprofit staff how to use AI for donor outreach, volunteer recruitment, and grant writing — while keeping the human relationship at the center. Includes the "spot the fake" exercise on AI hallucinations and a live activity creating a custom nonprofit GPT.
Originally built for free and charitable clinics. Works for any mission-driven team.
A practical workshop walking nonprofit leaders through the AI toolkit that actually matters for their day: ChatGPT for donor and grant work, NotebookLM for synthesizing program research, and the policy guardrails to use them safely. Includes nonprofit pricing for the major AI tools.
Best for: nonprofit leadership retreats, board development sessions, foundation training.
Two paths — Custom GPT for paid users, custom instruction prompt for free users. Six nonprofit tasks worth automating first (grant writing, donor outreach, volunteer recruitment, fundraising ideation, press releases, board agendas). Plus the nonprofit AI starter stack and discount pricing.
