Charity AI Power Up

There are no minimum requirements for IT skills to join the programme. An advantage of new AI tools is that you don't need to be techie. 

We welcome application from charities at an early stage in their AI journey - including wanting to get started. 

The Kickstart training session will give you information about common AI tools and important considerations. The programme is designed to support a charity using a generalist AI tool like Microsoft 365 Copilot or ChatGPT.

When the charity looks at its initial plan you'll be able to work out who needs a paid licence. The majority of the training will use features available on Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat (included with Business Office 365) or a free ChatGPT account. 

The train your own AI assistant workshop does require a paid licence / account - as the functions we'll be using are restricted. We'd suggest budgeting for at least one paid licence (approx. £20 - £25 per user per month).

The programme is significantly discounted to make it accessible to small and medium charities - as Caroline is keen to support the sector. The content is also tailored, so it wouldn't be suitable for most other organisations.

There is no size limit. The programme was designed for charities from 5 - 50ish people, as likely to have a mix of roles who will benefit from the training on offer. For larger charities, you may find that the training is more relevant for certain roles.

We work on a minimum of five charities and will accept up to ten charities. Each charity receives an individual 1-2-1. We restrict the number of attendees on some elements of the training, where it will support better learning.
