What 8 nonprofits built with AI — and why it worked 🤖

Last month, I ran a little experiment. No Facebook ads. No big promises. Just a test to see if AI could actually help nonprofits in a practical, personal, and strategic way. The premise was a simple idea: 

Could I help nonprofits build custom GPT tools in just one hour… and actually make a real difference in their daily work?

The answer? A resounding yes — and honestly, the results blew even me away.

Eight incredible organisations signed up for a 1:1 session with me, and together we built custom GPT tools that are already making their lives easier.

• Save hours every week
• Remove admin bottlenecks
• Write better content (in your tone of voice!)
• And help small teams punch way above their weight

Here are just some of the custom GPTs I built with my pilot program students: 

A repurposing bot that turns 3 years of newsletters into hundreds of fresh social posts 

A policy-writing GPT that simplifies hours of governance writing 

A thought leadership research bot that generates article ideas + references 

A video repurposing assistant that turns webinars into social content 

Avatar bots that critique content in the voice of their ideal audience

Annual report writing GPTs LinkedIn strategy + content bots 

Donor role play GPTs 

Hook-writing assistants 

Media & events support bots 

Fundraising email writers Strategy coach for nonprofit planning 

… and so many more

One org now has a donor role-play bot to help train new staff. Another has an annual report assistant. A third walked away with a mini strategy coach in her pocket.

One participant told me:

“I’m blown away. It’s like I’ve got a new work colleague. Thank you so, so much.” — Martina Fox, Royal Rehab Foundation 

I can't tell you how happy doing the sessions made me. I don’t believe in “just add AI” hype. I believe in real support, built around the messy, brilliant reality of nonprofit life.

I also believe if you're not using Ai for your organisation yet, you're at a severe disadvantage. You're spending more time and money than you need to get things done. 

Don't just take my word for it, dive in and play with it yourself. 

This is for the stretched-thin comms manager who's doing too many things. It’s for the CEO trying to lead strategy but stuck doing day-to-day admin. It’s for the person wondering “Is it just me, or is this harder than it should be?”

If that’s you — or your team — and you want my help to teach you how to use Ai AND build your custom Chat GPT bots for your nonprofit, I’ve got 15 sessions open in June. They’re $895. They’re tax-deductible. They’re actually useful. And a great way to use any remaining marketing, training or IT budget before you lose it for this financial year. 

And they’re going to make your workday feel a whole lot lighter.

Only 15 sessions are available for June (EOFY friendly – can be claimed as training/strategy/tech spend). When they’re gone, they’re gone.
