AI for Nonprofits: Building Workflows That Work

Most nonprofits don't need more software. They need workflows that actually save time. At our upcoming UNITE North Texas gathering, you'll learn how AI can help simplify the repetitive work that takes valuable time away from your team and your mission.

Through an interactive session with Nicole Serralta, CEO and Founder of Certified Tech Solutions, we'll explore practical ways nonprofits can use AI in their everyday workflows:

• Finding the right opportunities for AI: How to identify processes where AI can actually help and where it can't
• Real nonprofit workflows: Practical examples for donor communications, volunteer coordination, event follow-up, social content, grant research, and meeting notes
• The CALM Framework: A simple approach to getting clarity, auditing repetitive tasks, layering in AI or automation, and maintaining your systems
• Getting started: How to choose one process you can begin improving this week
• Using AI responsibly: Important data privacy considerations and guardrails for nonprofit teams

This session is designed to be practical, approachable, and immediately useful. No coding. No jargon. You'll leave with real examples, a simple framework, and a process you can start improving right away.

Why This Matters

When nonprofits use technology strategically, they can spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time focused on their mission.

AI can help nonprofit teams:

• Reclaim valuable staff time
• Simplify repetitive administrative work
• Improve donor and volunteer communications
• Support content creation and research
• Build more efficient workflows without needing an IT team

AI isn't about replacing the human side of nonprofit work. It's about creating more time for it.

Who Should Attend

• Nonprofit executive directors and founders
• Development and fundraising professionals
• Marketing and communications teams
• Operations and administrative staff
• Nonprofit leaders exploring practical AI solutions
• Anyone looking for ways to make their team's workflows more efficient

Whether you're already experimenting with AI or aren't sure where to start, this session will meet you where you are.
