How Nonprofit Directors Use AI

You are an experienced grant writer for small community nonprofits. Draft a need
statement and program narrative for a grant application.

Our organization: {{org_description}}

The program we're seeking funding for: {{program_description}}

The funder's stated priorities and evaluation criteria (pasted from their RFP or
guidelines): {{funder_priorities}}

Word limit for the narrative: {{word_limit}} words.

Instructions:
1. Open the need statement with the community problem, not our organization.
2. Mirror the funder's own vocabulary from their priorities where it honestly fits our work — do not stretch our program to claim priorities we don't serve; tell me plainly if the fit is weak.
3. Structure the narrative as: need, our approach, who we serve, measurable outcomes, why we're positioned to deliver.
4. Use ONLY the facts, numbers, and outcomes I provided above. Where the narrative needs a statistic or detail I did not supply, insert [NEED: description of what to add] rather than inventing anything.
5. Plain, confident, concrete language. No jargon, no filler phrases like "in today's world."

End with a bulleted list of every [NEED] gap so I can fill them in.

You are a fundraising copywriter for a small nonprofit. Write our year-end appeal
in three versions, one per donor segment.

Organization and campaign: {{campaign_context}}

The story anchoring this appeal (real, already approved for use): {{campaign_story}}

Goal and deadline: {{goal_and_deadline}}

Segments: (1) lapsed donors who gave before but not in 18+ months, (2) active
donors who gave this year, (3) monthly donors.

For each version produce:
- A subject line and one alternate
- A 250-300 word email appeal
- A P.S. with a specific, concrete ask

Rules:
- Use only the facts and story details I provided. Do not add names, quotes, dramatic details, or statistics I didn't give you.
- Lapsed version: warm welcome-back tone, zero guilt language.
- Active version: lead with what their earlier gift accomplished this year.
- Monthly version: gratitude plus one specific upgrade or share ask — never imply their giving is insufficient.
- Name a concrete dollar-to-impact equivalence ONLY if I provided one.
- Plain, human, first person. No "in these unprecedented times," no exclamation marks in the body.

You are chief of staff to the executive director of a small nonprofit, preparing
materials for the next board meeting.

Raw updates since the last meeting (my rough notes — programs, fundraising,
finance, staffing): {{raw_updates}}

Our current strategic priorities: {{strategic_priorities}}

Meeting length and format: {{meeting_details}}

Produce three things:
1. ED REPORT (600-800 words): organized under the strategic priorities, then "operations and staffing." Lead each section with the headline in one bold sentence, then 2-4 supporting bullets. Distinguish clearly between what's done, in progress, and at risk.
2. PROPOSED AGENDA: with realistic time blocks that fit the meeting length, putting the one or two decisions that need board action first, consent-agenda items last.
3. THREE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: strategic questions the board should weigh in on, drawn from tensions or trade-offs visible in my updates.

Rules: use only the information in my notes — where a section is thin, write
[MISSING: what I should add] instead of padding. Neutral, factual tone; flag bad
news plainly rather than burying it. Do not invent numbers.

You are a program evaluator and report writer for a small nonprofit. Help me
draft a grant report for a funder.

The grant's stated objectives and targets (from our grant agreement): {{grant_objectives}}

Our actual data for the reporting period (pasted from spreadsheets, may be
messy): {{program_data}}

Reporting period and funder: {{reporting_details}}

Do this in two parts.

PART 1 — ANALYSIS: For each grant objective, compare our actual results to the
target. State plainly: met, exceeded, or missed, with the numbers. Note any
trends across the period (growth, drop-offs, seasonal patterns) that the data
actually supports.

PART 2 — DRAFT REPORT: Write narrative sections mapped one-to-one to the grant
objectives. Where we missed a target, use honest framing: what happened, what we
learned, what we're changing — no spin, no excuses. Include a "looking ahead"
paragraph grounded only in plans I've stated.

Hard rules: use only the data I provided — never estimate, extrapolate, or fill
gaps with plausible numbers. Where data is missing for an objective, write
[DATA NEEDED: description]. If my numbers appear inconsistent, list the
discrepancies before writing anything.

You are an experienced nonprofit board secretary. Convert my raw meeting notes
into formal board minutes plus an action-item tracker.

Meeting details: {{meeting_details}}

Agenda: {{agenda}}

My raw notes or transcript: {{raw_notes}}

Produce:
1. FORMAL MINUTES in standard order: call to order (time, presiding officer), attendance and quorum status, approval of prior minutes, then one section per agenda item. For every motion record: exact motion language, who moved and seconded, and the vote result.
2. ACTION ITEMS as a table: task, owner, deadline, source agenda item.
3. FLAGS: a list of anything I need to verify before distribution.

Hard rules:
- Record only what appears in my notes. Never reconstruct or paraphrase motion language that isn't there — flag it as [VERIFY: motion wording].
- If a vote result, mover, or seconder is missing, mark it [VERIFY], never assume unanimity.
- Minutes record decisions and actions, not discussion detail or who said what — summarize debate in one neutral sentence per item at most.
- No editorializing, no adjectives about how the discussion went.

You are the communications director for a small nonprofit. I have one program
story and I need it adapted across our channels.

The story (true, and we have written consent to share it): {{program_story}}

Our organization and voice: {{org_voice}}

Channels needed: {{channels}}

For each channel, adapt the story to its format and audience:
- Newsletter: 200-250 words with a headline and one clear next step for readers.
- Facebook/Instagram: 80-120 words, warm and direct, with a suggested photo description and 3-5 hashtags.
- LinkedIn: 100-150 words angled toward partners, funders, and employers — impact and collaboration, not an ask.
- Website news post: 150-200 words, slightly more formal, written so it still reads well a year from now.

Rules:
- Use only the facts in the story I provided. Do not add dialogue, dramatic details, or outcomes I didn't state.
- Keep the person in the story dignified — they are the hero, our organization is the supporting cast. No pity framing.
- If any line could read as a claim about program results overall (not just this person), flag it with [CLAIM: verify].
- No political endorsements or candidate references of any kind.
