Leading a nonprofit is a challenge

A big mission, a constrained budget, an overloaded team, and work that never ends.

Implementing AI for nonprofit work changes everything.

Most nonprofits
Running on borrowed time
  • Drowning in work the team can’t get to
  • The best people closest to burnout
  • One person carrying three jobs at once
  • Donor stewardship that falls through the cracks
  • Grant writing in panic sprints
Modern nonprofits
Running on an intelligence layer
  • AI Teammates supporting every department
  • Capacity that doesn’t depend on the budget
  • Humans focused on the work only humans can do
  • Every donor gets the touch they deserve
  • Grants drawn from your story, automatically

From the community

Words from the people who have worked with us

They were all very impressed with the work that I did. And I said, ‘Well, Claude did that, but it's fine.’
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
Scott and Colleen helped us figure out not only our AI systems but also how our organization should work… When you pair a well-functioning org and the power of AI, some pretty incredible things happen. We couldn’t have done it without them.
Greg SummersVice President, Healing Care Ministries
THIS IS WILD in the best way. I am so excited to try to figure this out.
MichaelaMasterclass attendee
We actually built an AI policy as we were walking through this, which I have now shared with OSU, and they're using it.
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
Now we can focus on 10 properties that we want to flip, not 150.
Economic development directorIf Possible client
It's structured and personal.
JanaMasterclass attendee
It's not just adding capacity and taking away work that you don't want to do, although it definitely does that. It allows us to think in ways that we have never been able to.
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
That is the gold in this: a system that doesn't burn out our people.
MichaelaIntensive participant
Thank you for leading the workshop; I left feeling much further ahead than expected.
Intensive participant
It really helped level us up to get things done in our community that we could never have done before.
Economic development directorIf Possible client
Everything else we're doing, you can do in AI and piece together. But really, that intelligence layer protects us.
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
I already installed the AI Strategist! Thank you!
ElisabethIntensive participant
THIS is what I want to do: design my org brain.
DinaIntensive participant
That was the most helpful thing I have ever done.
Operations managerIf Possible client
This video is what I sent my CEO, and it helped her really understand what I was trying to explain about how this will help us. It's a great video!
LeeAnnIntensive participant
I actually met with my board on Saturday, and we talked about what our story would be.
Intensive participant
From the way you talk about strategy, our team had an epiphany.
Intensive participant
Thank you so much for putting all this together and making it easy to access and use.
ElisabethIntensive participant
Everything that comes up, we say, We could probably do that, or we could try.
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
Now I can ‘think bigger’ and have time to dream about projects and larger impact for our organization.
LeeAnnMasterclass attendee
I got tons of media coverage for this because no one else has one.
Economic development directorIf Possible client
We can tell you really want to serve nonprofits. Thanks for your hearts and desire to serve others!
LeeAnnIntensive participant
It really didn't change her voice. You could still feel that it was someone else.
If Possible client
I keep thinking, Oh yeah, that's what I need.
Nonprofit founderIntensive participant
Anything to add some extra legs to myself was really helpful.
Intensive participant
I still feel just as busy as I did, but I know I'm buying time.
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
That work, which would have taken maybe six months at one point, took you a few weeks.
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
I didn't believe it. Now I do.
Intensive participant
It's like you read our minds.
If Possible client
Many times for a nonprofit like ours, it's October 1st ... and we already lost it. We're too late. ... I think that some of that feels like, wait a minute, this isn't too late.
Ministry presidentIf Possible client
What this is going to do for us is unbelievable.
Intensive participant
I truly feel like you guys are from the future, and my brain is having a little trouble figuring out how to catch up, but I'm curious and willing to try my best lol
MichaelaIntensive participant
We just had a board meeting, and it was the fastest board packet we have ever built. It was so stress-free.
Operations managerIf Possible client
It literally did everything. What? I said, ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing!’
CandiceIntensive participant
As someone who has tried to do it myself this year, I've learned a ton, but this will supercharge you. It would have saved me hours and hours learning on my own.
LeeAnnMasterclass attendee
I use AI, so I don't hate it. So easy and I love the info!
LeslieMasterclass attendee
Just a few uploads, and it's all mine.
Intensive participant
We'd all realize, no, we can do all of this.
Intensive participant
Board members can, in two pages, know where everything stands before they even look at the board packet, and they loved it, really loved it.
Operations managerIf Possible client
So many people in the nonprofit space will benefit from the path you've walked already. Thanks for being the guide!
LeeAnnMasterclass attendee
I have always worked alone and feel that AI could change everything that I do.
MichaelMasterclass attendee
What an awesome Masterclass yesterday! I am so pumped to engage more and hopefully join the cohort.
Chief advancement officerMasterclass attendee
It's probably $75,000 of consulting work that I did on my own, by having the conversations I was having anyway and putting them into a system that can create documentation and keep refining.
Economic development directorIf Possible client
This is a great group! Better than any online session I have been a part of. Looking forward to learning with all of you.
CharlieIntensive participant
I just kept answering questions and figuring out as much as I could, and I did come up with a plan.
Intensive participant
When you say campaign, my initial thought goes to an eighteen-month to three-year project.
Ministry presidentIf Possible client
I'm totally geeked that I have some collateral to go back with.
Intensive participant
Being able to do these throughout the year seems much, much, much, much more possible with these types of tools.
Ministry presidentIf Possible client
I had a legal agreement that was two pages long that even I understood.
Economic development directorIf Possible client
Yes, artifacts are so great! We've made several for dashboards, resource hubs, etc. for staff to share.
LeeAnnIntensive participant
It literally took me forever to actually hit send, but they look really good.
If Possible client
Implement in a timely manner that doesn't demand three months of preparation.
Ministry presidentIf Possible client
I just built my first few skills and projects, and automated something that used to take me 8-9 hours and now takes 1-2.
MargaretIntensive participant
I started working with Scott and Colleen thinking that AI could help with some operations, but it has truly revolutionized how our entire organization works!
Justin RossExecutive Director, Buckeye Imagination Museum
I normally hate when I see AI design. It's normally really obvious and painful to me. I've never seen it done as beautifully as you presented.
Intensive participant
THAT is brilliant. I get SO tired of re-explaining.
DinaMasterclass attendee
This provides so much more capacity! We've already seen it in several areas of our nonprofit. Now I can work on projects and can dream instead of daily tasks! YES, the passion is back!
LeeAnnIntensive participant
I can talk to ChatGPT until I'm blue in the face, and it helps me immensely. But it's not enough without the structure.
Nonprofit founderIntensive participant
This is a generosity sprint. This is a 5K of generosity.
Ministry presidentIf Possible client
I love that this new thing is old enough that we're already talking about the old ways.
JennMasterclass attendee
I'm completely overwhelmed when I work with this stuff on a daily basis, mostly because I'm just excited.
Intensive participant
Integrating AI into the way our teams work is an opportunity we believe in, and the approach If Possible takes is exactly what we were looking for!
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
You don't have to be a huge user of AI to feel the benefit of it. ... After a week of doing that, you'll want to do more.
Operations managerIf Possible client
I can't say it enough, the relief of, oh, this doesn't have to be an exhausting project.
Ministry presidentIf Possible client
Am I the only one just mindblown by the capability of what Colleen and Scott are talking about here?
MichaelaMasterclass attendee
At least 280 hours. I feel like that's a conservative number: two hours per person per report, times 10 people, 14 cycles a year. That's what we've bought back using AI.
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
All that branding is our branding.
Intensive participant
It feels less pressure.
Ministry presidentIf Possible client
This took me, I'm kidding you not, five minutes.
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
This framework and structure is great for someone working independently.
BethIntensive participant
I already downloaded the Planner from the Hub, then had Claude tell me how to maximize it using what it knows about my org.
JoeIntensive participant
It's just amazing how it can create something this fast and to this level of detail.
If Possible client
We were able to compile everybody's reports in record time this year.
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
We can actually put out more than we were, because it's much faster and easier to do.
If Possible client
I keep thinking, how did they do this before AI? And it was literally last week.
Jessica GribbenPresident and CEO, Richland Area Chamber and Economic Development
AI gave me the ability to take a start at this that no one else has done.
Economic development directorIf Possible client
Yes, our creative is already done and scheduled at the printer. But this is so valuable.
LeeAnnMasterclass attendee
When someone asks me to do something big, now with AI, I say, Yeah, let's try.
If Possible client
I can reply to 10 people about their email blasting queries in five minutes, compared to 10 minutes each.
