Ready to move from AI theory to real-world application? This interactive companion workshop gives nonprofit professionals the opportunity to work directly inside today’s leading AI tools while building practical systems they can use immediately in their organizations.

Participants will bring their own laptops and engage in guided, hands-on exercises designed specifically for nonprofit communications, operations, and mission-driven work. Rather than simply discussing AI concepts, attendees will actively create foundational materials that improve AI accuracy and reduce hallucinations, including organizational brand language, mission context, and voice guidelines.

Through real nonprofit scenarios, participants will learn how to craft stronger prompts, streamline everyday tasks, and build a personalized AI workflow that supports their work long after the session ends.

Participants will:

• Work live inside AI platforms with step-by-step guidance
• Create foundational documents that improve AI reliability and consistency
• Practice prompting techniques using nonprofit-focused examples
• Explore practical uses for communications, fundraising, outreach, and operations
• Leave with a functional AI setup ready for immediate use

What to bring: Your laptop and a real project or document you've been meaning to tackle.

Who it's for: Nonprofit professionals ready to move past curiosity and into practice. Best experienced alongside the AI Landscape Introductory Workshop, though not required.
