“The strategic pivot for non-profits is no longer about if we should adopt technology, but about mastering its ethical application. AI will not replace our passion or our purpose; it will amplify them, allowing us to be better storytellers, more precise budgeters, and more powerful advocates for the communities we serve.”
– Co-Created with Gemini, Peter and Jesse Clarke (she/her) (from all of our conversations)
Here is the official launch announcement from Jesse Clarke (she/her)JN Clarke Consulting and Myself / Coffai Shop with early bird pricing for the Grant Writing & AI Bootcamp 2025.
