Project Breakdown and Optimization with AI: Enhancing Grant Proposals
Unlock the power of generative AI to streamline your project planning and grant proposal writing. This session focuses on the technique of breaking down large projects into manageable components with the help of AI. Participants will learn to provide detailed, specific instructions to effectively utilize AI, enhancing both the creation and review process of grant proposals. Discover the "Outline Expander" process, a strategic approach to structuring large writing projects for clarity and impact. Additionally, explore how AI can offer critical reviews, score your grant proposals, and suggest improvements by identifying weaknesses, and aligning closely with funder priorities.
Objectives
-
Participants will develop techniques for “teaching the chat” about project planning and proposal writing.
-
Participants will employ generative AI to connect their work to funder priorities and review proposals accordingly.
-
Participants will structure a large writing project using an outline expander prompt.
-
Participants will critique grant proposals and identify areas of weakness using generative AI.

Navigating Bias in AI: Strategies for Ethical and Inclusive Fundraising
This session addresses the critical topic of recognizing and mitigating bias in AI applications within fundraising efforts. As AI becomes an integral part of strategic communication and decision-making, understanding the origins of bias in training data and its implications is essential. Participants will explore the nuances of AI-generated content, learning to set guidelines that align with organizational values and ethical fundraising practices. This includes ensuring community-centric approaches in fundraising communications and decision-making processes. Through practical examples and guided discussions, attendees will learn strategies for mitigating bias in AI outputs and using AI to supplement human judgment in areas prone to unconscious biases, such as HR and grant proposal reviews.
Objectives
-
Describe biases inherent in training data to mitigate the effects of using AI-generated content.
-
Use techniques for mitigating - though never completely eliminating - bias.
-
Build understandings of how to use LLMs/ generative AI to circumvent human bias in organizational processes.
-
Identify opportunities and insights with generative AI that are sometimes overlooked due to human bias.
This session aims to equip fundraising professionals with the knowledge and tools to critically evaluate AI-generated content and strategies, ensuring they promote inclusivity and align with the ethical standards of their organizations.
