How to Use AI to Raise More Money Without Wrecking Donor Trust
22 pages. 14 ready-to-paste prompts. Built by a fundraiser who has actually raised $100 million, not a consultant who just discovered nonprofits.
"What's our AI strategy for fundraising?" Your boss asked that. You opened a blank doc. You closed it. You opened LinkedIn instead.
Here's what's actually happening at your nonprofit right now: someone on staff is already pasting donor info into ChatGPT, and nobody told them what's safe to type. Meanwhile you're supposed to have "a strategy" by Friday.
This isn't a knowledge gap. It's a structure gap. You don't need to become an AI expert. You need 14 prompts that work, written by someone who has sat across the table from major donors for two decades and knows exactly where the line is between efficient and creepy.
The Donor-Safe AI framework
Most AI guides fall into two camps. Camp one says "just start prompting!" - and gets you a robotic email a board member forwards to a major donor. Camp two says "AI is dangerous, don't touch it" - and you work a 55-hour week while your peers automate their first drafts.
This book is the middle path: five steps, each with a built-in human-review checkpoint. Speed without the risk, because the risk management is baked into the prompt itself.
Everything inside
14 prompts plus the framework that ties them together. Each one comes with a "why this works" breakdown, so you understand the reasoning, not just the words to copy.

REFUND
Try it for 30 days
Read through the guide, try even three of the prompts, and if you don't save at least a few hours of work this month, email for a full refund. No forms, no "please explain why," just a refund within 30 days. You're not betting on this. We are.
$7 launch pricing won't last
This is launch pricing, not a fake countdown trick. The book regularly sells for $27. If you're reading this after the launch window closes, you'll still get the full book, just at the regular price, still less than most consultants charge for a single hour. But if you're reading this now, now is cheaper than later.
Start Now ->Questions you might have
I've never used ChatGPT or Claude. Will this still work for me?
Yes. The book includes guidance on getting started, and every prompt is written in plain English with clear instructions for what to fill in. If you can use email, you can use this.
Is this going to teach me to replace my development team with a robot?
No, and if a guide promises that, run. This book is built around one core idea: AI supports your relationships, it doesn't replace them. Every prompt has a human-review step built in.
What if my organization has strict data privacy rules?
Good. The first chapter is built around exactly that concern, including a ready-to-use AI usage policy prompt and clear guidance on what donor information should never be entered into any AI tool.
I'm a one-person development shop. Is this overkill for me?
It's actually built for you. Most of these prompts save the most time for people wearing multiple hats, the same person writing the appeal, doing the research, and making the thank-you calls.
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT how to use AI for fundraising?
Try it. You'll get generic advice about leveraging synergies. This book gives you the exact prompts, written by someone who has actually run the campaigns, raised the money, and made the donor calls.
Do I need a paid AI subscription?
No. The free versions of Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini can run every prompt in this book.
What if I buy it and decide it's not for me?
30 days, full refund, no hard feelings.
Stop guessing about AI. Start with the prompts that work.
P.S. Somewhere right now, a development director in your same city is sitting down with this book, plugging their campaign details into the Campaign Concept Generator, and getting five fresh ideas before their next strategy meeting. The prompts don't disappear after launch week. The $7 launch price does.
P.P.S. You don't have to read all 22 pages tonight. Just open it, find the one prompt for the task you're dreading most this week, and try it once. That's the whole strategy.
