Join Management Advisory Services for an in person workshop to further explore real-world AI applications for nonprofits. Whether you attended last year's online webinar, or just want to learn more, join us for an interactive workshop to share and learn about how nonprofits are using AI in strategic planning, fundraising, and internal operations.
About This Workshop
Our AI for Nonprofits webinar showed you what's possible. This workshop is where you put it into practice. Join Management Advisory Services for a hands-on afternoon session with MAS consultants and fellow nonprofit practitioners — sharing what's working, what's not, and experimenting together with AI tools in real nonprofit contexts.
This is an interactive, participatory session. Come ready to share your own experience and leave with practical techniques you can use immediately. Bring a laptop or your phone so you can try some prompts and tools and get some hands on exprience. If you want to share documents like strategic plans, make sure your device has access.
Workshop Agenda

AI in Fundraising and Internal Operations
Presenter: Brian Flett, MAS Consultant
Brian walks through how he has gone beyond just chatting with AI, and has started to build AI Agents for doing background tasks like surveying the internet for updates about prospective donors, creating a daily summary of tasks, meetings, and news items, and creating a weekly review of courses and youtube videos that can help in keeping up with the latest trends.
- Adding tools to give AI access to calendars, emails, etc
- Adding skills to tell AI how to do complex repeatable tasks
- Creating background jobs so AI can work autonomously
