DESIGN SPRINT MASTERCLASS: Build A Fundraising Campaign With AI

Join an intensive, hands-on 4-hour masterclass where you will learn to rapidly design and build a fundraising campaign using artificial intelligence (AI) and creative problem-solving methods. Working in small teams, you will follow a structured process to deeply research your donors using large language models (LLMs), set clear campaign goals, and generate practical solutions step-by-step.

Throughout the session, you will develop advanced prompting skills, learning how to communicate effectively with AI tools to get meaningful results. With a variety of powerful tools at your fingertips – including ChatGPT, Claude, Dall-E, and more – you can tailor your masterclass experience based on your team’s preferences and experience level.

By the end, you’ll have created a practical, ready-to-launch fundraising campaign prototype customized to your organization’s needs. Leave the workshop with new AI-powered skills, practical methods you can use immediately, and confidence in integrating AI into your everyday work.
