How do I use these AI prompts for my nonprofit?

Pick a prompt from any category, fill in the bracketed placeholders with your nonprofit's specific details (organization name, mission, audience, etc.), then paste the completed prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. The AI will generate a polished draft you can edit and use immediately.

Do these prompts work with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini?

Yes. Every prompt is designed to work with all major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini. Each prompt card includes direct links to open it in your preferred AI tool.

Are these AI prompts really free?

Yes, all 68 prompts are completely free to use. No signup, no email required. Just copy, customize with your nonprofit's details, and paste into any AI tool.

What nonprofit tasks can AI prompts help with?

These prompts cover 9 areas: fundraising (appeal letters, donor stewardship, major gift proposals), grant writing (budget narratives, needs statements), communications (newsletters, press releases, social media), programs (design, evaluation, reporting), events (planning, invitations, follow-up), board leadership (agendas, governance), operations/HR (onboarding, process documentation), prompt writing skills, and data analysis and reporting (survey analysis, donor segmentation, spreadsheet help).

Can I customize these prompts for my specific nonprofit?

Absolutely. Each prompt includes bracketed placeholders like [Organization Name], [Mission Statement], and [Target Audience] that you replace with your nonprofit's specific information. The more detail you provide, the better the AI output will be.

How do I write a good AI prompt for my nonprofit?

Give the AI a role, describe the audience, specify the format and length, and supply real context about your organization. The Prompt Writing section of this library includes prompts that check and rewrite your own prompts against those four elements.

How to Write Better AI Prompts for Your Nonprofit

The prompts in this library work because they all do four things: they give the AI a role, describe the audience, specify the format, and supply real details about your organization. When a prompt of your own falls flat, it is almost always missing one of those four.

Four habits make every prompt work better. Give context once and reuse it everywhere by keeping a short profile of your organization to paste into any new chat. Describe the reader, not just the task: "write a thank-you letter to a retired teacher who gave $50 to our literacy program" beats "write a thank-you letter." Treat the first draft as a first draft and give one or two rounds of feedback. And keep donor and client data out of consumer AI tools; use roles and descriptions ("a longtime monthly donor") rather than names or gift histories. The prompts below put these habits to work.

You are an expert at writing prompts for AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and you specialize in nonprofit communications. I will paste a prompt I plan to use. Before rewriting anything, check it against these four elements: (1) a clear role for the AI, (2) a described audience, (3) a specified format and length, (4) enough context about the organization. Tell me which elements are missing or weak, ask me up to 3 questions to fill the gaps, then rewrite the prompt with my answers built in. My draft prompt: [PASTE YOUR PROMPT] My organization: [ONE SENTENCE ABOUT YOUR NONPROFIT]

Nonprofit Fundraising Prompts

Fundraising prompts give ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini the donor context and format a development office expects, so appeal letters and thank-you notes come back sounding like your organization instead of a template. Use them for appeals, upgrades, major gift work, and stewardship.

Choose one. - Keep readability at 6th–8th grade; short sentences; no clichés (“now more than ever”), no jargon, no guilt or pity framing.Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Template - Also provide: Email subject line (5–7 words) and preview text (35–60 chars); signature block for [SIGNER NAME], [TITLE]; optional footer line with [EIN]. A strong letter feels human and mission-true: story first, clear unrestricted case, specific dollar handles, and respectful urgency. Avoid vagueness, stat dumps, or overpromising. The P.S. should repeat the ask and [MATCH/DEADLINE]. Ensure the piece is segment-ready with bracketed variations and includes at least two frictionless ways to give.

(Example: Site visit with program lead to observe [PROGRAM]; objective: connect impact to values; question: “How do you assess philanthropic priorities this year?”) - Mix formats; each touch must deliver substance (impact data, beneficiary voice, field insight, invitation to advise), not “just checking in.” - Roles & Coordination: when/why to involve [ED/BOARD INVOLVEMENT]/volunteer solicitor; briefing notes and follow-up responsibilities. - Engagement Signals & Decision Gates: define readiness (responsiveness, outcome questions, budget curiosity, referral offered) and what triggers the ask. - Draft Ask Path: framing for [PROPOSED ASK RANGE], designation options, likely objections with 1–2 sentence responses; identify the natural ask moment tied to a specific touch/event. - Tracking: specify updates/tasks in [SYSTEM/CRM], fields to update, and simple metrics (meeting secured/site visit completed/pre-ask commitment). - Capacity-aware: realistic for team of [TEAM SIZE]; include low-cost options and time estimates per touch. - Include key dates: [KEY DATES/EVENTS] and any deadlines (board meetings, fiscal year-end). - Word count: 600–900 words; internal planning document. - Tone: [TONE: FORMAL (board-ready, precise) / WARM (relationship-centered, professional) / CASUAL (clear, small-shop shorthand)]. - Header lists: Prepared by [PRIMARY RELATIONSHIP OWNER]; Reviewed by [ED/BOARD LEAD].

Common pitfalls to avoid: involving ED/Board too early/late, stacking asks without value, or failing to document next steps within 48 hours.

The budget narrative should: - Stay within 350-550 words and mirror [FUNDER BUDGET CATEGORIES/ORDER] exactly, using the same headings. - Open with a 1-2 sentence summary: total request [REQUEST AMOUNT], total program budget [TOTAL PROGRAM BUDGET], participants served [NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS], and key outcomes [KEY OUTCOMES]. - For Personnel: list each role with FTE, duties tied to [KEY ACTIVITIES LIST], salary basis, and math (e.g., “0.50 FTE Program Manager at $[ANNUAL SALARY] = $[AMOUNT]”). - For Fringe: state [FRINGE RATE %], what it covers, and apply to the correct base. - For Non-Personnel: justify each item with unit x quantity x months and program link (e.g., “[UNIT COST EXAMPLES]”). - For Shared/Allocated costs: explain [ALLOCATION METHOD] (e.g., by FTE, sq. ft., participant count) and why it’s fair. - For Indirect/Admin: state [INDIRECT RATE %] and base [INDIRECT BASE: MTDC/TDC], give a brief rationale (e.g., audited rate, historical awards), and clarify what is included to avoid double-charging. - For Match/Cost Share: indicate [MATCH REQUIREMENT %/AMOUNT], sources [MATCH SOURCES (cash/in-kind)], status (committed/pending), and in-kind valuation method (note 2 CFR 200 if federal). - Include cost-effectiveness: cost per participant and, if possible, cost per outcome. - Note key assumptions and exclusions [CALCULATION ASSUMPTIONS] and confirm totals equal [REQUEST AMOUNT] and align with the budget table. - Address sustainability: how costs will be maintained or decrease post-grant. - Cite allowability/compliance notes or link: [ALLOWABILITY NOTES or LINK]. - Tone options: [TONE] = FORMAL (government/foundation; precise, neutral), WARM (foundation/community; accessible, confident), CASUAL (internal drafting only; plain). - Closing line: “Prepared by [AUTHOR NAME, TITLE].” Deliver concrete justifications, plain language, and transparent math. Avoid clichés (“transformational”), vague labels (“miscellaneous,” “overhead”), or unexplained percentages. Every dollar requested should connect to planned activities and outcomes, match the funder’s categories, and pass a quick calculator check to prevent math errors that can sink proposals.

Place it where it amplifies impact. - Future Focus: Look ahead with 2–3 focused priorities for next year and what support enables them: [PRIORITIES].

Quick start (minimal inputs): If you only provide [ORGANIZATION NAME], [PROGRAM NAME], [REPORT PERIOD], [GEOGRAPHY], and [TONE: BALANCED (default), FORMAL, or WARM], generate the full template using defaults for all other fields. If key details are missing, first ask these 5 questions, then proceed: 1) Primary audience and uses? [e.g., program staff to improve delivery; leadership to inform planning] 2) Funders/board version needed? [Yes/No; which funder/board?] 3) Key demographics for equity breakdowns? [e.g., age, race/ethnicity, income, language, zip code] 4) Main data sources available? [e.g., surveys, interviews, admin data, observations] 5) Team capacity?

You are an evaluation specialist helping a nonprofit program manager create a practical Outcome Framework. Transform the information provided below into a structured, realistic framework aligned with nonprofit evaluation best practices and small-team capacity. CHOOSE YOUR MODE - QUICK START (recommended for beginners): If you only have brief notes or limited data, I will produce a lean framework with clear placeholders, a starter indicator set, and a simple 90-day data plan. - FULL BUILD (advanced): If you have a logic model and some data, I will produce the complete framework with detailed indicators, baselines/targets, and a full data plan. BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Paste Your Information Below Required (paste what you have; raw snippets are okay): - Program name and 2–4 sentence description - Target population and geography - Timeframe (program duration and reporting cycles) - Logic model or theory of change (activities → outputs → outcomes). If none, describe what you do and the changes you expect. - Available data: surveys, attendance, assessments, admin data, feedback, baseline numbers, funder reports (paste raw data or summaries) Optional (helpful): - Funder requirements (indicators, disaggregation, deadlines) - Staff capacity for data (hours/week, tools in use) - Data systems (spreadsheets, CRM, case notes) - Equity priorities (e.g., focus on specific subgroups) If information is missing: I will flag gaps, propose conservative assumptions, and suggest pragmatic workarounds. No data will be invented; placeholders will be clearly labeled. EXAMPLES OF ACCEPTABLE INPUT - “Attendance CSV fields: ID, session_date, hours, site.” - “Survey Q3: ‘I know 3 ways to find a living-wage job’ (1–5 Likert). Pre: n=42 mean=2.6; Post: n=37 mean=3.9.” - “Funder asks for quarterly report on #served, % gainful employment within 6 months, and stories.” - “No baseline on retention; we can pull last year’s rosters.” OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS (8 sections in this order) 1) Program Snapshot (100–150 words) - Include: mission/focus, target population, geography, timeframe, brief logic model (activities → outputs → outcomes), and any funder requirements. 2) Outcomes (Short 0–12 mo; Medium 1–3 yrs; Long 3+ yrs) - Define 2–4 outcomes per tier using concrete, measurable language (avoid vague verbs). - For each outcome, note attribution vs. contribution. - List the indicator names (3–5 per outcome). Do not include indicator details here—details go in Section 3. 3) Indicators Detail Table (primary location for indicator specs) For each indicator listed in Section 2, provide: - Indicator name - Operational definition (exact measure, numerator/denominator if applicable) - Data source (survey, records, observation, interview, admin dataset) - Collection method (e.g., online form, SMS, file pull) - Frequency (e.g., per session, monthly, quarterly, pre/post, annually) - Disaggregation (race/ethnicity, gender, age, location, income, language—adapt to context) - Responsible role (data owner) Table format: | Indicator | Definition | Source | Method | Frequency | Disaggregation | Owner | 4) Outputs (50–100 words) - List 3–5 core outputs (service volumes) with simple counts to contextualize outcomes. - Clearly label these as OUTPUTS (activities/throughput), not outcomes. 5) Baselines & Targets (100–150 words) - Derive baselines from provided data; if missing, state “No current baseline” and describe how to establish one in the first cycle. - Set realistic annual targets with brief rationale (capacity, prior trends, comparison points). - Note confidence and data quality limits. 6) Data Collection Plan (150–200 words) - Instruments: specify concrete tools (e.g., 6-item pre/post, attendance export, brief exit interview guide). - Low-burden methods: align to staff capacity and participant burden. - Cadence: when and how often each source is collected. - Storage/management: where data lives (spreadsheet/CRM), file naming, access, retention.

Use short sentences, plain language (8th–10th grade), and concrete numbers/timeframes. 1) Header & Impact Statement (≈50 words) - Title, [VERSION NUMBER], [DATE], [AUTHOR/TITLE] - One-sentence ultimate impact that names [TARGET POPULATION] and the change in [GEOGRAPHY] Example: “Young adults ages 16–24 in Eastview secure stable jobs and income growth within five years, reducing youth unemployment in Eastview.” 2) Problem & Root Causes (STANDARD: 150–200 words; SHORT: 100–150 words) - Concise problem statement with 2–3 data points from [EVIDENCE SOURCES/LOCAL DATA] - 2–3 root causes, including structural inequities (policy barriers, discrimination, access gaps) - Why the problem persists locally Preferred evidence types: Census/ACS; County Health Rankings; CDC/state department datasets; school district or HMIS/admin data; local needs assessments; peer-reviewed studies; community listening sessions or focus groups. 3) Pathway of Change (STANDARD: 400–500 words; SHORT: 250–350 words) Map the if-then logic clearly: Activities (what we do) → Outputs (what we produce) → Short-term outcomes (6–12 months: knowledge/skills/attitudes) → Intermediate outcomes (1–3 years: behaviors/practices/systems) → Long-term outcomes (3–5+ years: conditions) → Impact (population-level change) For each link: - Make the causal connection explicit: “If we do X, then Y will happen because…” - Name the key assumption(s) that must hold true - Give brief rationale from research or practice experience - Use specific, measurable language with timeframes Example of one link: “If youth complete 40 hours of paid work experience with weekly coaching (activity), then 80% will show gains on a soft-skills rubric within 6 months (output/outcome). Assumes supervisors use youth-friendly practices and provide real tasks. Our last three cohorts showed 75% gains under these conditions, and a recent meta-analysis of work-based learning found similar effects.” 4) Preconditions & External Factors (STANDARD: 100–150 words; SHORT: 75–100 words) - Preconditions for success (e.g., stable funding, partner MoUs, referral pipelines, safe space, tech access) - What is within program control vs. external systems (policy, housing market, labor demand) - How you will monitor or adapt to factors you cannot control 5) Attribution & Partnership (STANDARD: 100–150 words; SHORT: 75–100 words) - [ORGANIZATION NAME]’s specific role and what you can credibly claim - How [KEY PARTNERS] contribute to specific links in the pathway - What outcomes require collective effort and how joint work influences systems [... continued]

(SOP) BEFORE YOU START: Gather these details to customize your SOP: - [PROCESS NAME] – e.g., “Monthly Donor Acknowledgment Letters,” “Client Intake and Enrollment” - [ORGANIZATION NAME] – Your nonprofit’s name - [PRIMARY ROLE OWNER] – Job title who normally does this, e.g., “Development Coordinator” - [BACKUP ROLE] – Who covers when primary is out, e.g., “Executive Director,” “Program Assistant” - [TOOLS/SYSTEMS] – Software/platforms used, e.g., “Salesforce NPSP, Gmail, Google Drive” - [COMPLIANCE REQS] – Regulations that apply, e.g., “HIPAA,” “FERPA,” “IRS charitable receipt rules,” or “None” - [STORAGE LOCATION] – Where this SOP will live, e.g., “Google Drive > Operations > SOPs” - [TONE] – Choose one: FORMAL, WARM, or CASUAL Draft a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for [PROCESS NAME] at [ORGANIZATION NAME], designed for a small nonprofit team with limited time and budget. When to use this prompt: Use for recurring processes performed by more than one person, tasks critical to compliance or donor relations, or areas at risk if a single staffer leaves. For one-off or highly variable work, consider a simple checklist instead. Required SOP Sections: Essential (include in every SOP): 1) Purpose and Audience (2–3 sentences) - Why this procedure exists and who will use it (e.g., new staff, volunteers, temp coverage). - Example: “This SOP ensures all donors receive accurate, timely tax receipts per IRS rules. Used by Development Coordinator; backup: ED.” 2) Scope and Timing - When it’s triggered, how often performed, expected duration. - Example: “Triggered within 48 hours of gift entry. Frequency: 2–3x weekly. Duration: 15 min per 10 gifts.” 3) Roles and Coverage - [PRIMARY ROLE OWNER], [BACKUP ROLE]; include required permissions/access. - Example: “Requires Salesforce NPSP edit rights and Drive folder access.” 4) Tools and Systems - List [TOOLS/SYSTEMS] with direct links and brief access steps (e.g., “Log in at app.salesforce.com with @orgname.org”). - Offer low-cost alternatives if primary tool is down (e.g., “Use Google Sheet template [link] and sync later”). 5) Step-by-Step Instructions (Numbered, 5–15 steps) - For each step: who does what, where to click/type, fields to complete, time estimate. - Include decision points (e.g., “If gift > $1,000, notify ED via Slack”). - Add [Screenshot of ____] placeholders for key screens. - End with a mini-checklist summarizing critical steps. 6) Definition of Done / Quality Standards - What must be true before marking complete. - Example: “✓ Receipt PDF in Drive > Donor Files > [Year]; ✓ CRM ‘Receipt Sent [Date]’ field updated; ✓ Donor tagged ‘Receipt Sent [Year]’.” Recommended (add as relevant): 7) Troubleshooting (3–7 common issues) - Use “If X, then Y” fixes; include nonprofit-specific cases. - Example: “If donor declines a receipt, note in CRM and send thank-you only. If client lacks ID, follow Emergency Enrollment SOP.” 8) Data, Privacy, and Accessibility - PII handling, retention, and [COMPLIANCE REQS]. - Language access (e.g., Spanish templates available). - ADA-friendly tips for public-facing materials. 9) Communication Templates/Snippets - 1–3 short email/script templates as needed. - Example: “Subject: Your tax receipt from [ORGANIZATION NAME]…” 10) Related Procedures and Escalation - Link related SOPs (e.g., Gift Entry, Donor Corrections). - Who to contact for help (name/role/contact method). Mandatory Footer: 11) Version Control - Author: [Name] - Process Owner: [PRIMARY ROLE OWNER] - Approver: [Name/Title] - Version: [e.g., 1.0] - Effective Date: [MM/DD/YYYY] - Next Review Date: [One year from effective date] - Storage Location: [STORAGE LOCATION] 12) Signature Lines Process Owner Approval: ______________________ Date: ________ [PRIMARY ROLE OWNER name/title] Executive Approval: __________________________ Date: ________ [Approver name/title] Length: 500–900 words total (adjust for complexity; simple processes may be ~400 words, complex up to 1,000).

Nonprofit Data Analysis & Reporting Prompts

Data prompts turn the spreadsheets nonprofit teams already have into findings, segments, and report copy. Paste in aggregate numbers, never individual donor or client records, and the AI does the analysis and narration while you keep the judgment. For choosing tools, see our guide to data analytics tools for nonprofits.

You are a program evaluator for a nonprofit. I will paste raw survey results (question text plus response counts or a CSV export). Analyze them and produce: (1) a 5-bullet summary of the clearest findings with the numbers that support each, (2) two or three differences worth a closer look between respondent groups, (3) three quotes or open-ended responses that illustrate the findings, if provided, and (4) a short "what we should change" list. Do not overstate: if the sample is small or a difference could be noise, say so. Survey purpose: [WHAT THE SURVEY WAS MEASURING] Results: [PASTE RESULTS OR CSV ROWS]

You are a nonprofit development data analyst. Using the summary of our donor file below, propose 4 to 6 practical segments for our next campaign, each with: a plain-language definition, an estimated size from my numbers, the message angle that fits it, and the ask strategy (renew, upgrade, reactivate, or steward). Keep segments simple enough to build in a spreadsheet or basic CRM query. Do not use individual donor names; work only from the aggregate description.

Turn the program data below into a one-page outcomes narrative for [AUDIENCE: funder report, annual report, or board packet]. Lead with the change in people's lives, support it with the numbers, and note honestly where results fell short of targets and what we are adjusting. Include one suggested pull-quote statistic formatted for a report callout. Do not invent numbers or causes; if the data cannot support a claim, leave it out.

You are a spreadsheet expert who helps nonprofit staff who are not data specialists. I will describe what my spreadsheet contains and what I need to know from it. Give me: (1) the exact formula or pivot table setup for Google Sheets or Excel, (2) a one-line explanation of how it works, and (3) a check I can run to confirm the result is right. If my data layout makes this harder than it needs to be, suggest the simplest restructure.

You are a nonprofit communications writer who makes data readable. Using the year's numbers below, draft the impact-by-the-numbers section of our annual report: a headline stat, 4 to 6 supporting stats each with a human framing sentence, and a closing paragraph that connects the numbers to our mission. Flag any number that needs context to avoid misleading readers (for example, a percentage from a small base). Keep every figure exactly as I provided it. This year's numbers: [PASTE KEY STATS: PEOPLE SERVED, PROGRAMS, VOLUNTEERS, FUNDS RAISED, OUTCOMES]
