AI for Nonprofits:
What's Actually
Possible in 2026

Not a product demo. A real conversation about where AI fits the work nonprofit teams actually do — grant writing, reporting, donor communications, and more.

What We'll Cover

Six things your team is probably already wondering about.

We're not starting from scratch. These are the real questions that come up most when I work with nonprofit leaders — and we're going to work through them together.

01
Grant Writing & Research
How AI can help you draft faster, research funders, and stop staring at a blank page — without losing your organization's voice.
02
Impact Reporting & Data Storytelling
How to turn program data into funder-ready narratives without spending three days in a spreadsheet.
03
Donor Communications
How AI can help you write stewardship emails, thank you letters, and campaign copy that actually sounds like you wrote it.
04
Workflow Automation
Where automation actually saves time for small teams — and what's not worth the setup cost for a 5-person org.
05
AI Policy & Readiness
What an AI policy actually needs to say, how to think about org-level accounts versus personal ones, and where to start.
06
Survey Analysis & Community Feedback
How to use AI to surface themes in feedback data — exit surveys, interviews, community input — without losing the nuance.
Real Questions · From Real Nonprofit Leaders

You're not the only one wondering.

This workshop wasn't built from a template. The topics and questions come directly from 30+ Catchafire consulting engagements and ongoing conversations with nonprofit leaders across the country. If any of this sounds familiar, that's because it came from people doing the same work you are.

On Databases & Automation
"I manage our donor database on top of everything else. I'm not a tech person. Can AI actually help me automate some of what I'm doing manually?"
We'll cover how AI fits into CRM and database workflows — what it can help with now, what still needs human hands, and how to think about automation when you don't have a dedicated tech person on staff.
On Getting Started
"All five of us have used AI personally but we don't have an org-level account or a policy. Where do we even start?"
We'll walk through exactly this — how to move from scattered personal use to something intentional, shared, and actually useful for your team's daily work.
On Reporting
"Impact Reporting and Data Storytelling is top of my list. We've already talked AI strategy — now I want to actually do something with our data."
We're going hands-on with this. Not theory — actual ways to use AI to turn program data and community feedback into something a funder or board can act on.
On Program Documentation
"Knowledge management is a real gap for us. Stuff lives in people's heads. How do we change that without adding more work?"
We'll look at how AI can help you capture, organize, and make institutional knowledge accessible — without turning documentation into another project nobody has time for.
Who This Is For

You don't need to be a tech person.

This session is for nonprofit leaders at every level of AI familiarity — from "I've never tried it" to "I use it personally but not sure how it fits our org."

✓ This is for you if...
You lead or work at a nonprofit
Executive directors, program managers, development staff, operations leads, communications coordinators — anyone doing the actual work.
✓ This is for you if...
You're the "accidental techie"
You didn't sign up to manage the database or figure out the AI strategy, but here you are. This is exactly where to start.
✓ This is for you if...
Your team is using AI informally
People are using ChatGPT on their personal accounts but there's no org-level plan. We'll talk about how to bring that together intentionally.
✓ This is for you if...
You want real answers, not a demo
You've sat through enough vendor webinars. This is a working session — bring your actual questions. We'll work through them together.

What Comes Next

For organizations ready to go further after the workshop, I run a small-group implementation cohort — 3 to 5 nonprofits, four weeks, implementation not education. You leave with a working grant proposal agent, a team-ready knowledge base, and an internal SOP. At the end of the workshop I'll share the details and a time-limited offer for attendees only.
