In this one day course, we will guide you through some of the popular AI tools and how you can use them to support your fundraising efforts.

Standard Content

AI tools provide a range of options for fundraisers, from text-based solutions that can craft social media posts to grant applications, image-based tools that can create the perfect image for your annual report, to video-based solutions that can remove the need for specialist skills. But as with many digital tools, the sheer volume of options available can feel overwhelming.

In this one day course, we will guide you through some of the popular AI tools and how you can use them to support your fundraising efforts.

There will be plenty of time for practice so you will finish the day knowing which tools will work for you and how you can use them going forward.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand what AI is and its potential impact on our future 

  • Consider the ethical and privacy implications of using AI

  • Identify AI tools that could be useful for your fundraising or organisation

  • Understand the basic commands needed to effectively use such AI tools

  • Create a piece of written fundraising material using an AI tool

Great introduction to AI. In what can seem like a big and scary topic, we really honed in on what made it useful for fundraising and were shown how to apply it in our day to day work. I also really appreciated at the end when we were asked to give a plan of how we would use it this week, next week, next month and next year, as it gave me objectives to ensure the knowledge I had gained would be used in the most impactful way.
