What we cover
Our programme is practical, ethical and people-first.
Over the course of the programme, your team will:
- Learn what AI is and how it can support your work
- Develop a realistic, step-by-step AI adoption plan
- Explore real charity use cases: communications, pitches, funding bids, volunteers, admin and meeting notes
- Understand ethical risks and how to manage them
- Learn how to prompt, plan and review AI outputs
- Build confidence using AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini)
The programme is designed to help your charity with safe and responsible AI adoption, that gives your team more time to focus on their core roles.
How it works
We developed this programme based on our work with charities. We know that time is limited and AI can feel overwhelming, so we've broken it down into stages.
Before you start
To help your charity get the most from the programme we recommend:
- Watch our short introductory webinar (COMING SOON)
- Identify a project lead to co-ordinate the process internally
- Secure support from a senior sponsor, which could be the CEO or another member of the leadership team
AI adoption kickstart (June / July / August)
Once you've signed up, we'll provide the templates and guidance to help you plan your charity's AI roadmap. We offer live training and a 1-2-1 planning session:
- Live 2-hour training session: understand the basics, explore use cases and set goals. Run multiple times to allow key staff to attend.
- 1-2-1 AI roadmap session: our Director, Caroline Broadway, will work with you on a one-hour planning call to help you shape your charities initial AI roadmap.
Plus, there are online videos you can use with the wider team, to get them engaged - and make sure they understand the AI essentials.
Power up sessions (September / October / November)
You've got a plan with your priority use cases - which are quick wins for the team. Now join a training session to get practical guidance and tips. You choose who attends each session, they're open to your whole team.
We've got a packed programme:
- Fortnightly power up session: we're including six sessions designed for charities covering key skills, communications, fundraising and volunteers. They start on 11 September.
- Specialist 'build a custom assistant' workshop: we'll run a half-day session to cover how to create custom assistants to help with fundraising, reporting and communications.
We'll also have a LinkedIn group to share questions, tips and advice.
