September 2026
Hosted by: Summit Foundation with guest expert presenter Robin Thompson
Workshop Description:
Grant writing shouldn't feel like a second full-time job. Between decoding rigid funder guidelines, wrestling with budget spreadsheets, and staring down a blinking cursor at 9 p.m., it's easy to lose sight of what actually wins grants: a compelling, authentic story that speaks directly to a funder's mission. This hands-on, three-hour workshop, building on our recent masterclass sponsored by the Summit Foundation, Demystifying AI: A Practical Master Class for Nonprofit Leaders, is designed for nonprofit leaders who are ready to work smarter, not harder. You'll learn how to use Artificial Intelligence as a strategic partner to cut through the administrative grind, so you can spend less time on rote data entry and more time on the storytelling and relationship building that actually moves funders to say yes.
Demystifying AI: A Practical Master Class for Nonprofit Leaders
June 2026
Hosted by: Summit Foundation with guest expert presenter Robin Thompson
Workshop Description:
Many nonprofit professionals feel the pressure to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) but struggle to find a starting point that feels authentic to their mission. This high-impact, hands on three-hour workshop moves past the tech jargon to provide a clear, practical path forward. Designed specifically for the Summit County nonprofit community, this session explores how to use AI tools to simplify workflows, enhance donor relationships, and protect your most valuable asset: your time. Whether you are an executive director, fundraiser, grant writer or part of a larger development team, you will gain the confidence to integrate AI into your daily practice without losing your unique organizational voice.
