For Executive directors, program managers, development leads, operations staff
Practical AI for executive directors and program leads.
AI Engines teaches nonprofit staff in Indiana to use AI safely in grant writing, donor communication, program reporting and volunteer work. Training runs in person across North and Central Indiana or live online, and starts with donor and beneficiary privacy. Each person leaves with a small AI helper for a task they repeat. Beginners are welcome, and we use your organization's tool or help you choose one.
One day, one small AI helper, built around grant writing, donor communication, program reporting, and volunteer ops. Beneficiary care first.
In person across North and Central Indiana, and online anywhere.
Regulations that already apply to your work

Small AI helpers past participants have set up. (These examples were built in Claude. In training, you build in the tool your team uses or one we help you choose.)

Prompt Builder
Write your prompt, get it sharpened before you spend tokens on it. Or build a new prompt from scratch with structured guidance. The point is a well-designed prompt on the first try, so your real work with AI lands cleaner.

Questions we hear most
- How do I get my nonprofit staff using AI safely?
- Start with what stays out of AI: donor records, beneficiary details and anything a grant agreement protects. Write a one-page policy that names your approved tools and says a person reviews every output before it goes out. Then give staff a short, hands-on session on real tasks, in the tool you already use or one that fits your policy. AI Engines runs that session as the 3-hour Focused Short Course, in person across North and Central Indiana or live online.
- Do we need an AI policy before we train staff?
- Yes. The AI Governance Jump Start is a short course that helps teams put guardrails around AI use: 2 hours, up to 8 people, in person or online, and teams leave with a draft to review with their own counsel.
- We have a very small budget. Is this realistic?
- Yes. Our smallest options are one-on-one coaching and a 3-hour short course for as few as 2 people. See your exact price in the price calculator.
- Which AI tools do you use?
- The one your team already uses, such as Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Gemini. No tool yet? We help you choose one that fits your work and your rules. Every format leaves each person with a small AI helper for a task they repeat, and the 3-hour short course can focus on any one tool.
- Can people from a partner org join our training?
- Yes. Your group can include partners, up to 20 people. Price is set by group size.
- What does it cost?
- Price depends on your group size, the format, and travel. See your price in about a minute. That covers the day, materials, and a small AI helper each person takes home. Lunch is an optional add-on. Want something shorter? The 3-hour short course runs onsite or live online.
