Most common AI use cases in nonprofit organizationsCopy
There are thousands of tasks where AI can help us, there is no way to list of all them. But I have created a big database with the most frequent and relevant AI uses for nonprofits (+50 different use cases).
It’s not just a list of generic ideas, it includes:
- +300 specific examples of using AI for common nonprofit tasks
- +50 recommended AI tools
- +200 useful tips to get the best results & minimize risks for each task

If you put your mouse over any name in the Name column, you will see an “OPEN” button. You have to click there to see all the details of each use case (examples, tools and tips).

Prompts
You can use ChatGPT and similar tools (Google Gemini, Claude, etc.) to help you get more ideas of interesting AI use cases for the specific needs of your organization.
You will probably get some suggestions that are not relevant, but others might be great. If you are having trouble brainstorming possible use cases, this a great way to get many ideas in seconds.
In the these prompts we ask for 10 ideas. If you want more detailed explanations about each one, you probably should ask for fewer ideas (maybe 5). You can always ask later for more ideas (just write something like “give me more” in the chat and it will continue generating ideas).
Also, remember that you can personalize the prompts (eg. mention if want to focus on specific topics, goals or tools) and give additional instructions according to the results you get (eg. “give me more ideas like X” or “avoid ideas that require X”).
You will see in yellow (starting with “>”) the lines where you should include your organization’s info. You might want to create & save a “standard context” with all the relevant info and reuse it in many different prompts (so you get personalized answers without having to write everything from scratch every time).
Also, feel free to change the “Our context” section. Remove some of those lines if you think they are not necessary or relevant for that task. And add extra info that might help you get better answers for your specific needs.
