Starter prompts for nonprofits & grants
Copy a prompt, replace the [BRACKETS], and paste it into the bot your organization allows. Each one tells the bot what not to do, so it is easier to check.
1. Need statement
Draft a 300-word need statement for [PROGRAM] in [COMMUNITY] using only these data points with their sources: [DATA]. Cite each source in parentheses.2. Logic model
Build a logic model table for [PROGRAM]: inputs, activities, outputs, short-term outcomes, long-term outcomes, indicators.3. Thank-you letter
Write a warm thank-you letter to a donor who gave [AMOUNT PLACEHOLDER] to [PROGRAM], with one concrete impact example from: [EXAMPLE].Before you paste: remove names, account numbers, dates of birth, addresses and anything else that identifies a real person, unless the tool is approved for that data.
Accuracy and ethics, every time
- Confidentiality: never paste client, patient, student, employee or customer personal data (PII/PHI) into a public bot. Use tools your organization has approved, with contract terms that cover data use, or remove identifiers first.
- Verify everything: bots can invent citations, case law, statistics, doses, code sections and quotes that look real. Check each one against the original source before you rely on it.
- Not professional advice: these tutorials teach you how to use AI tools. They are not legal, medical, tax, financial or engineering advice.
- A human professional is responsible: the licensed or accountable person reviews, decides and signs. The bot drafts; you own the result.
- Prices change: we don't list product prices. Check each vendor's official pricing page.
