SUMMARY:AI for Grant Writing 201: Building on the Basics
DESCRIPTION:Deeper Prompting\, Real Projects & Building Your Organization’s AI Practice\nWednesday\, September 9\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – Noon | Live on Zoom \nDesigned for nonprofit professionals who have completed AI for Grant Writing 101 and/or have a basic understanding of AI applications for grant writing\, this 3-hour intermediate training picks up where the introduction left off\, shifting from awareness to integration. Participants will come prepared with a real project or scenario from their own organization to work on during the session. Together\, we’ll dig deeper into the art and science of prompting and explore AI across a wider range of grant cycle tasks (such as budget drafting\, reporting frameworks\, and tracking systems). The session also introduces the concept of building an organizational AI workflow\, moving from ad hoc use to intentional\, repeatable practice\, and addresses key ethical and policy considerations specific to your organization. \nNote: Completion of AI for Grant Writing: 101 (Order Here) or equivalent foundational knowledge is a prerequisite for this session. \nTrainers: Katy Pepinsky (she/her)\, Hannah Max (she/her)\, Consultants & Grant Writers with ThinkSharp! Nonprofit Consulting.
