AI for nonprofits and churches.
Small staffs, big workloads and donor relationships that have to stay personal. AI helps most with thank-yous, grant drafts, newsletters and board packets. Pastoral care and counseling stay out of it.
You probably run Bloomerang, Blackbaud, Little Green Light, Planning Center, Google Workspace for Nonprofits.
Where AI helps
Donor thank-yous and lapsed donors
Personal letters drafted fast, and lapsed donors flagged for a call.
Grant drafts and reports
Letters of intent and impact reports drafted from your program data, in your voice.
Newsletters and bulletins
Weekly content drafted from a few notes.
Board packets
Long documents summarized for board members.
Rules to know
- FundersCheck each funder's AI policy. Most foundations have no written policy, so ask the program officer.
- IowaOrdinary nonprofits do not qualify for Iowa's sales-tax exemption on software subscriptions, so budget for the tax.
Tools that fit
- Bloomerang Penny. AI fundraising assistant inside Bloomerang.
- Candid. Prospect research and letter-of-intent drafts.
- Google Workspace for Nonprofits. The base edition is free; check which AI features your edition includes.
Where we would start
Thank-you and lapsed-donor workflow
Run it in the donor CRM you already use. The executive director or pastor keeps the final voice and signature. 30 days.
What we measure: days from gift to thank-you, share of lapsed donors contacted, and dollars reactivated, checked again at 90 days.
