It can brainstorm content, summarize complex information, analyze donor behavior, and help you craft more personalized fundraising strategies.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the truth of it:<br \/>\n<strong>AI isn\u2019t here to replace your people. It\u2019s here to support them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Think of AI as a partner that takes on the busywork, surfaces insights you might otherwise miss, and helps you make sharper, more confident decisions rooted in real data\u2014not guesswork.<br \/>\nThis is exactly how we designed <a href=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.com\/blog\/meet-penny\/\">Penny, Bloomerang\u2019s AI fundraising partner.<\/a> Penny builds on decades of proven fundraising wisdom and your real donor data\u2014so her guidance always connects back to what works, not what\u2019s trending.<\/p>\n<h3>Which AI tools are most helpful for nonprofits?<\/h3>\n<p>Many nonprofits already use AI without realizing it. But the tools that make the biggest difference generally fall into a few key categories:<\/p>\n<h4>Donor management<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>AI built into <a href=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.com\/blog\/nonprofit-crm\/\">your CRM<\/a> (like <a href=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.com\/blog\/meet-penny\/\">Bloomerang + Penny<\/a>) for revealing opportunities based on reports, personalizing outreach, and strengthening donor stewardship<\/li>\n<li>Predictive models for identifying donor capacity or likelihood to give<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Content &amp; brainstorming partners<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/chatgpt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ChatGPT<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gemini.google.com\/app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gemini<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/claude.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Claude<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.com\/news\/bloomerang-launches-ai-content-assistant\/\">Bloomerang\u2019s AI Content Assistant<\/a> for drafting emails, summarizing research, or repurposing impact stories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Marketing &amp; design<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/magic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canva\u2019s Magic Studio<\/a> for visuals<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jasper.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jasper<\/a> for marketing copy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Operations &amp; admin<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/Otter.ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Otter<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/Fireflies.ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fireflies<\/a> for meeting transcription and summaries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What are some of the best AI use cases for nonprofits?<\/h3>\n<p>AI shines brightest when it\u2019s helping you save time or make smarter, more informed decisions. Think of it as a task-doer. Here are a few useful examples:<\/p>\n<h4>Fundraising &amp; stewardship<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Draft or summarize grant narratives<\/li>\n<li>Personalize donor appeals for different segments<\/li>\n<li>Suggest tailored stewardship touchpoints based on giving history<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Marketing &amp; communications<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a three-month content calendar<\/li>\n<li>Turn one story into multiple social posts<\/li>\n<li>Draft newsletter subject lines and intros<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Operations &amp; admin<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Summarize long meetings with key takeaways<\/li>\n<li>Draft volunteer recruitment messages<\/li>\n<li>Create clear, friendly event instructions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How can nonprofits use AI responsibly?<\/h3>\n<p>Many nonprofit professionals feel both excited and cautious about AI. That healthy mix of caution and excitement is exactly what leads to using AI responsibly, and that\u2019s how you build trust. Reassure your team, donors, and volunteer community with these ethical guidelines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Protect your data<\/strong>: Never copy and paste donor PII into public tools. Use secure, built-in <a href=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.com\/crm\/\">AI features like Bloomerang\u2019s<\/a> that work inside your CRM.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep humans in the loop<\/strong>: AI provides a draft. Your team provides the heart.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch for bias<\/strong>: Review outputs for equity, inclusion, and accuracy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be transparent<\/strong>: Communicate how you\u2019re using AI\u2014internally and with supporters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document your standards<\/strong>: Create a simple, sharable AI use policy for your team and the public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is AI prompting\u2014and where do I start?<\/h3>\n<p>Prompting is simply telling the AI what role to take, what context it should know, and what you want it to produce.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to get started is with the RCGO model:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Role<\/strong>: Who the AI should be &#8211; \u201cAct as an expert nonprofit fundraiser.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Context<\/strong>: Audience, tone, constraints &#8211; \u201cThe audience is donors who have not given in at least two years. The tone should be warm, inviting, and demonstrate that we miss them.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Goal<\/strong>: The outcome you want &#8211; \u201cInvite these lapsed donors to give to our new &#8216;Community Garden&#8217; project with a $10,000 goal.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Output<\/strong>: The format you need &#8211; \u201cWrite a three-paragraph email to help us re-engage these donors.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: none; max-width: 1000px; display: block; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/prompt-builder-v-11.html\" width=\"100%\" height=\"1000px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>How can you use the RCGO model? Copy one of the prompts from our <a href=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.com\/resources\/ai-prompt-library\/\">prompt library<\/a>, paste it into your preferred AI tool, and adjust. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do inputs matter so much in AI prompts?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Better inputs lead to better outcomes.<\/strong> Many AI tools let you feed in brand guidelines, examples, personas, or past campaigns. Others\u2014like <a href=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.com\/blog\/meet-penny\/\">Penny<\/a>\u2014pull from your existing donor data, giving you meaningful guidance without needing to upload anything.<br \/>\nMore context = more accurate, trustworthy suggestions.<\/p>\n<h3>Can my nonprofit avoid using AI?<\/h3>\n<p>You can\u2014but you\u2019re already using it in tools you rely on every day both personally and professionally, like Siri, Google Search, and Amazon Alexa. The real question is:<br \/>\nWill you use AI intentionally to strengthen your mission?<\/p>\n<p>When used with clarity and care, AI saves time, nurtures donor relationships, and helps you do more without asking your team to work more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/guide\/how-to-get-started-with-ai\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-143567\" src=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ai-for-nonprofits_ai-guide-cta.png\" alt=\"Discover strategies to effectively and responsibly integrate AI into your operations.

Start small.<\/h3>\n<p>AI, like most new tech, can be overwhelming at first. Don&#8217;t try to do everything at once!<br \/>\nBegin with one task\u2014like drafting an email or summarizing a meeting\u2014and iterate your prompt until it feels just right. Each small win builds your confidence and improves output quality.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Follow ethical guidelines.<\/h3>\n<p>Develop a simple AI guide for your nonprofit team to follow. Be proactive to prevent security or ethical issues.<\/p>\n<p>A few principles make all the difference:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Review and refine all AI-generated copy<\/li>\n<li>Avoid entering sensitive donor information into public tools<\/li>\n<li>Choose secure, purpose-built AI for data-focused work<\/li>\n<li>Confirm compliance with regulations like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/hipaa\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HIPAA<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/studentprivacy.ed.gov\/faq\/what-ferpa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FERPA<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Empower your team.<\/h3>\n<p>Training helps nonprofit staff feel supported, not replaced. Consider hosting a prompting workshop or sharing a short internal guide. Emphasize that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AI handles the grunt work<\/li>\n<li>Humans handle the heart work<\/li>\n<li>Together, they amplify impact<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Encourage your team to experiment, especially with customizable tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/gemini.google.com\/gems\/create\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gems<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/help.openai.com\/en\/articles\/8554397-creating-a-gpt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Custom GPTs<\/a>. These tools will help you further tailor your prompts and create even higher quality outputs.<br \/>\nRemember: the more comfortable your team feels using AI solutions, the more your nonprofit can raise and achieve next-level impact.<\/p>\n<h2>Launch an AI-powered fundraising strategy with Bloomerang<\/h2>\n<p>Although it\u2019s possible to tailor AI solutions like ChatGPT or Gemini to your nonprofit\u2019s unique needs, it takes time and effort\u2014time most teams don\u2019t have.
