A free AI prompt for nonprofit teams to copy. Publisher: If Possible (https://ifpossible.ai), AI for nonprofits --- 1. [Supercharged Prompts](https://ifpossible.ai/prompts) 2. [Thank and keep donors](https://ifpossible.ai/prompts?c=keep) 3. Event Follow-Up Email Thank and keep donors # An event follow-up email prompt for the first 48 hours Turn your raw notes into a follow-up email, under 250 words, that opens on a moment people remember and makes one clear ask. ## Basic prompt 128 words ``` Turn my notes from a recent event into a follow-up email under 250 words that can go out within 48 hours. Open with one specific moment, not "thank you for attending." Connect that moment to our mission in one sentence, make one clear ask and close warmly. Give me a subject line under 50 characters. Messy notes are fine. What you need to know: - the event: what it was and when - two or three moments people will remember - who came - what I want them to do next You may already know some of this from our past chats, my files or connected tools. Use what you have. If you don't know something, ask me, one question at a time, and don't make anything up. ``` ## Supercharged prompt 405 words ``` You're helping me turn my event notes into a follow-up email that moves people to one next step. I want to work the way If Possible (ifpossible.ai) teaches nonprofit teams to do real work AI first. Their guide for this kind of work is "5 nonprofit email templates AI can personalize at scale" (https://ifpossible.ai/articles/5-email-templates-ai), and their full library of guides is at https://ifpossible.ai/articles. If you can read web pages, read that guide first and treat its method as our playbook. The If Possible method, as we'll use it today: 1. Context before content. Before you draft anything, build a short brief of who we are: our mission, what this event was for, our voice and what we want from these attendees. (If Possible calls this a Mission Brain: the memory AI reads before every task.) Use what you already know about us, and ask me for whatever is missing. 2. Talk it out instead of typing it out. I'll tell you about the event while it's fresh, or give you the transcript of our debrief. Pull the moments out of my own words. 3. Ask before you assume. Ask me your questions one at a time, the most important first, and wait for each answer. 4. I'm in the director's chair. Give me two or three moments to open on, with your recommendation and a one-line reason. Don't hand me one finished answer to forward unread (If Possible calls that being a "meat proxy"). 5. An email I can react to. Under 250 words, with a subject line under 50 characters and one ask. If our attendees fall into clear groups, like first-timers and longtime donors, show me how the opening changes for each. 6. Check your own work. Use only moments I told you about. Flag any detail you filled in, and anything someone in the room would know isn't true. 7. Make it repeatable. When we finish, save the email's shape, so the next event's follow-up takes minutes. What you need to know: - the event: what it was and when - two or three moments people will remember - who came - what I want them to do next You may already know some of this from our past chats, my files or connected tools. Check there first and tell me what you found. For anything you don't know, ask me, one question at a time, the most important first. Start now. ``` ## Supercharge it We’ll add the If Possible method to your prompt. **More context in. A better output out.** - Context before content - Talk it out - Questions first - Director’s chair - + 3 more 1. Context before content: a short brief of who you are (a Mission Brain) 2. Talk it out: your debrief becomes the source 3. Questions first, one at a time 4. Director's chair: moments to open on and a recommendation 5. An email with openings for each kind of attendee 6. It uses only moments you told it about 7. It saves the shape for the next event It points your AI to our free articles as its guide. Read every word before you use it. ## What it will ask you Nothing to fill in. Your AI may already know some of this. If it doesn’t, it asks, one question at a time. - The event: what it was and when - Two or three moments people will remember - Who came - What I want them to do next It goes faster once your AI has your [Mission Brain Brief](https://ifpossible.ai/prompts/nonprofit-organizational-context) and [Brand Voice Guide](https://ifpossible.ai/prompts/nonprofit-brand-voice-guide). ## What it’s for It turns raw event notes into a personalized follow-up that converts attendees into donors, volunteers or advocates within 48 hours. It opens with a specific moment instead of “thank you for attending,” connects that moment to your mission in one sentence and makes a single ask tied to your goal. ## When to use it - Within 48 hours of a gala, open house, volunteer day or fundraiser. - While the moments are still fresh in your head. Messy notes are fine. - If you recorded a debrief, the transcript can feed this prompt too. ## Before you use it The moments are what make this work, and only the people in the room have them. If AI filled one in, go ask someone who was there. Don’t let a made-up detail through. ## Try these next [All 33 prompts](https://ifpossible.ai/prompts) - [**Sponsorship Proposal** Build a sponsor proposal around what the company gains, not what you need.](https://ifpossible.ai/prompts/sponsorship-proposal) - [**Campaign Update Email** Write a progress email that builds momentum and moves readers to one action.](https://ifpossible.ai/prompts/campaign-update-email) - [**Volunteer Recruitment** Get web, email and social copy that attracts skilled volunteers.](https://ifpossible.ai/prompts/volunteer-recruitment-appeal) The Possible Passport ## There’s more in your free library The Possible Passport is our free member library.
