Have Questions? I've Got Answers!
Nope. I’ve seen those trainings too—and I get it.
Some of them are great, but here’s the thing: learning to use AI for fundraising isn’t an “extra” skill anymore. It’s becoming part of the core toolkit for hitting revenue goals without working 60-hour weeks.
That’s why with The Fundraiser’s AI Starter Suite, I’m giving you everything you need to start using ChatGPT with confidence, protect donor trust, and shave hours off your admin time—at an investment your organization can actually say “yes” to right now.
If anything, this course is more practical, up-to-date, and tailored to fundraising than the big-ticket AI workshops you’ve seen—because it’s designed by someone who’s been in your shoes, not just in a tech lab.
Each module is built to give you a quick win you can put into action right away—no long lectures, no “homework” that sits half-finished in a folder. Most fundraisers finish a lesson and try it in real life the very same day.
If you can give yourself 1–2 focused hours each week, you’ll move through the course in just a few weeks and start seeing AI work for you almost immediately—drafting warmer donor emails, cutting board report time in half, and freeing you up for the conversations that raise real dollars.
Absolutely. In fact, that’s exactly who I built it for.
You don’t need to have spent hours tinkering with ChatGPT to get results here—in fact, it’s often better if you haven’t picked up bad habits or wasted time on prompts that go nowhere.
From day one, I walk you through the exact steps to get ChatGPT set up safely, write prompts that actually sound like you, and use built-in tools to handle your real fundraising tasks. No tech jargon, no “figure it out yourself” homework—just a clear path to your first AI win.
By the time you finish the first module, you’ll already have a working prompt you can use in your next donor communication—and the confidence to keep going.
Let’s talk about “overwhelm” for a second.
Overwhelm usually shows up when you’re staring at too many options, no clear path, and a to-do list that grows faster than your progress. I built The Fundraiser’s AI Starter Suite to be the opposite of that.
You’re not going to “learn everything about AI” in one giant gulp. You’re going to follow short, step-by-step lessons that each end with a quick win—like drafting a donor email in minutes or setting up your first privacy-safe prompt.
If you follow the strategies in order (and resist the urge to skip ahead), you’ll keep moving forward without piling on extra stress. By the end, you’ll have a system that saves you hours every week—and you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner.
Let’s clear this one up.
You can start this course with the free version of ChatGPT—and if you’re brand new, that might be the perfect way to dip your toe in and see what’s possible.
That said, I do recommend upgrading to a paid plan once you know you’ll be using AI regularly. Why? The paid versions (especially ChatGPT Plus, Team, or Enterprise) give you access to privacy tools that help protect sensitive donor data, as well as advanced features we’ll be covering in the course—like custom GPTs, web browsing, and file uploads.
If you’re a nonprofit, there are discounts on Team and Enterprise plans that make them much more affordable. So think of it like this: start free if you want, but know that the real power—and peace of mind—comes with the paid version.
Short answer? Lifetime access.
Once you enroll, you can log in anytime—next week, next year, or three years from now—and the course will be there waiting for you.
Because AI tools like ChatGPT are always evolving, I’ll be routinely updating the content so you’re never working with outdated info. And if the course ever goes away, you’ll get 30 days’ notice to log in and download everything before it disappears.
Bottom line: you can move at your own pace and come back whenever you need a refresher—your access doesn’t expire.
You’re not alone—plenty of boards are cautious about AI.
And honestly? That’s a good thing. It means they care about donor trust, data safety, and the reputation of your organization.
That’s why The Fundraiser’s AI Starter Suite includes privacy-first setup steps, data protection checklists, and real-world examples you can share with your board to show how AI can be used responsibly.
You’ll also have metrics and case studies—like time saved, increased donor engagement, and improved copy quality—so you’re not just saying “this works,” you’re proving it with results they can see.
Bottom line: you’ll be equipped to address concerns head-on and position AI as a trusted ally, not a risky shortcut.
Not at all. If you can send an email, you can do this.
Setting up a Custom GPT in ChatGPT doesn’t require coding, IT access, or any kind of tech degree. In The Fundraiser’s AI Starter Suite, I walk you through the process step-by-step—showing you exactly where to click, what to type, and how to test your GPT before you use it.
Think of it like creating a new email template or setting up an out-of-office reply—it’s that straightforward. By the end, you’ll have three fundraising-focused GPTs ready to handle tasks like drafting donor emails, summarizing board reports, and researching prospects—no tech wizardry required.
