Start with real work
Each cohort centers on one piece of nonprofit work, like a year-end campaign. Not a hypothetical. Yours, for your donors, in your voice.
The projectIf Possible Cohorts · Live, in small groups · Waitlist open
Nonprofits learn AI best together, building real work.
A cohort is a small group of nonprofit teams who build one real project with AI from the start, live with Colleen and Scott, week by week. Enrollment for our current cohort is closed. Join the waitlist and you'll hear first when the next one opens.

How a cohort works
One room of nonprofits. One real project.
Every cohort is built around work your nonprofit already has to do. You do it AI-first, with us and a room of organizations doing theirs at the same time.
Same work you were going to do anyway. Done a new way, and finished when the cohort is.
Build it live, every week
We teach it, demo it, and walk you through it step by step. Then you build your piece before the next session, with office hours in between.
The rhythmInstall your AI teammates
Your Mission Brain (one place holding what AI needs to know about your org), plus AI teammates for the roles the project needs, each one supporting a person on your team.
The teamKeep all of it, and run it again
The project ships. The setup stays. Everything you build is yours, ready for the next campaign, the next appeal, the next launch.
The arrivalThe work is the curriculum
You don't learn AI on the side. You do your work with it
"We don't have time to learn a new thing. We have too much work to do." We hear it constantly, and it's true. So we don't ask you to learn AI on top of your job.
The single best way to learn AI is by doing your work with AI. So let's do it together.
Every week you leave with a piece of your project finished and a piece of your AI setup installed. Each week runs the same way: we teach it, we demo it, we walk through it with you step by step, and you do it before the next session.
Other AI workshops hand you a certificate. A cohort hands you finished work.
What the week looks like
One live session. One office hour. The rest is your work
You are not handed a login and left to figure it out. Every week we build the next piece together, live, and a room of nonprofit leaders builds theirs right alongside you. Here is the rhythm of our current cohort.
Do the work
Finish last week's pieces with your AI teammates doing the heavy lifting.
Live session
Ninety minutes. We teach it, demo it, and walk you through it step by step, together.
Do the work
Build this week's piece in your own voice, for your own organization.
Office hours
Drop in with whatever you are stuck on, and we work through your exact situation.
Do the work
Finish the homework before Tuesday. Recordings and resources wait for you in the Cohort Hub.
What you build
Three pieces you keep
Not software, a subscription, or a prompt library. A setup your organization builds once, owns, and runs again every time there's work to do.
Your Mission Brain
Your mission, voice, guardrails, and audiences in one place, so every draft sounds like your org instead of everyone else.
Your AI Teammates
Installed role by role, department by department. None of them replace anyone. All of them support someone.
The finished work
The project the cohort was built around, drafted in your voice, approved by your people, and ready to go out.
The rule
Nothing ships without a person signing off
People make the decisions. AI does the heavy lifting. And from week one you'll know exactly what AI never touches in your donor data.
Running now
Our first cohort is building right now
The AI-First Year-End Cohort runs October 26 to December 8, 2026: six weeks of nonprofits building their whole year-end campaign AI-first. Enrollment is closed. The waitlist hears first about the next one.
From the field
What the room sounds like
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.
I didn't believe it. Now I do.
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.
This has been... life-changing and mission-affirming for us.
Seeing it in action as an intelligence layer through an org-wide lens is a game changer.
The testers yesterday already loved it. I cried.
THAT is brilliant. I get SO tired of re-explaining.
It literally did everything. What? I said, ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing!’
Just a few uploads, and it's all mine.
I have always worked alone and feel that AI could change everything that I do.
I actually met with my board on Saturday, and we talked about what our story would be.
This framework and structure is great for someone working independently.
I'm totally geeked that I have some collateral to go back with.
I'm completely re-energized.
I keep looking at your videos to make sure you guys aren't AI talking heads!
I can already tell we're going to fundraise a lot more ... with these tools.
I appreciate having a resource from someone who knows what they're talking about.
I was surprised by how many ideas I had around year end that popped up as I spoke!
I can build things to solve complex operations problems instead of getting stuck.
The capacity-building potential is amazing and our ED is so excited about this!
I've been using AI all wrong!
Some of the photos I had to ask, 'Is that on our website?' Thank you and Scott so much.
We are small, and mighty, but could be mightier :D
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!
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.
That is the gold in this: a system that doesn't burn out our people.
The cohort was literally the easiest decision I've made all year.
My boss said she hasn't seen me smiling like this in a LONG time.
I've gotten a hundred percent funding on grants that I've written strictly through AI. ... You're showing me the next level.
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
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.
We'd all realize, no, we can do all of this.
All that branding is our branding.
From the way you talk about strategy, our team had an epiphany.
I just kept answering questions and figuring out as much as I could, and I did come up with a plan.
Anything to add some extra legs to myself was really helpful.
It was overwhelmazing!
I am SO THRILLED to build my organization's BRAIN.
Started with the AI Campaign Strategist. SO FUN!
The idea of a full AND cohesive campaign is really exciting!
I already adapted the Command Center prompt to build a dashboard for our strategic plan. It's gorgeous!
The work Colleen and Scott are doing is also missional and transformative.
You inspired me to build an API connection to my CRM to automate the process for reports.
You've basically made this thing where I don't have to have that knowledge.
Truly excited to take things into an automated space so that we can get good storytelling out there while I can spend more time with people.
The AI Brain and Intelligence Layer can be used for all our operations, not just fundraising.
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!
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!
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.
You are applying a multiplier to the impact that all these nonprofits have, and that is incredible.
I can build and run multiple campaigns at once without being so overwhelmed.
THIS IS WILD in the best way. I am so excited to try to figure this out.
It's structured and personal.
Thank you for leading the workshop; I left feeling much further ahead than expected.
THIS is what I want to do: design my org brain.
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!
This is a great group! Better than any online session I have been a part of. Looking forward to learning with all of you.
Now I can ‘think bigger’ and have time to dream about projects and larger impact for our organization.
My flabbers are gasted.
I am legit ready to go into 2027 with a gang of new AI employees.
This answers the gap we have with video!
I called my ED this morning to screenshare with her to show it off.
I might FINALLY get out of the Molasses Swamp!
Strategy vs. worker bee. That's what AI is helping me do!
A sustainable way to work long term.
Got my command center set up and have started creating better content for socials!
It was actually pretty fun to get it all out of my mind.
It gives me more time to do an impact report and those sorts of things.

What stays human
The teammates plan and draft. Your people decide
Every AI teammate supports a person on your team. They plan and draft. They never send, never publish, never spend on their own, and a named human approves every piece before it goes out. We are not here to replace the people who make your organization what it is. We are here to give them back their time.
From the founders
We did this the hard way for eleven years so you don't have to
For more than a decade we built nonprofit campaigns one organization at a time, helping 100+ organizations raise over $200 million: the strategy meetings, the drafts, the design rounds, the late nights.
Then the way to build changed. We rebuilt our own work AI-first, and a cohort is how we hand that to you: the same work you were going to do anyway, done a new way, with us in the room while you build.
Bring the work. We'll bring the method, and a room full of nonprofits building alongside you.
Colleen Cook & Scott Williams
Co-Founders
AI sticks when the whole team builds it. Bring your team
When your development director, your comms lead, and your ED each build their piece together, it sticks in a way one person carrying it back never does. Cohorts are built for teams, and every seat from your organization builds alongside you.
Questions
The practical details
When does the next cohort open?+
We announce every new cohort to the waitlist first, with the dates, the project it is built around, and the price. Joining is free and doesn't commit you to anything.
Can I still join the current cohort?+
Enrollment for the AI-First Year-End Cohort is closed. If you have a question about it, email hi@ifpossible.ai.
Who is a cohort for?+
Nonprofit leaders and their teams who want AI running inside their real work, not just a tab they open now and then. Small shops and large ones both fit. What matters is that you bring real work to build.
I'm not technical. Can I really do this?+
Yes. If you can follow a recipe, you can do this. Every week we walk you through it step by step, together, and office hours are there for anything that sticks.
What do I need to run the tools you recommend?+
A computer with a web browser. Claude is the center of what we teach, and a paid Claude plan is recommended (nonprofit pricing is available). If your organization already uses ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini, we will show you how to adapt.
Can my team join me?+
Yes, and we recommend it. Add your teammates to the waitlist too, so everyone hears when the next cohort opens.
I can't wait. Can we work with you sooner?+
Yes. See every way to work with us, including 1:1 AI Implementation.
Be first in the next room
Join the waitlist and we'll tell you first when the next If Possible cohort opens. Free to join. No payment, no commitment.
