Philanthropy Network to Host Hands-On AI Workshop for Fundraising Professionals

On Wednesday, June 26, from 10:00AM to 2:00PM at the LeadingAge Ohio office in Columbus, fundraising professionals from across aging services are invited to a hands-on AI Workshop and Information Exchange. Designed for those working in development, advancement, and grant writing roles, the session will focus on how tools like ChatGPT can support real-world fundraising work—drafting donor messages, shaping campaigns, researching grants, and summarizing internal updates.

The morning will feature live demonstrations and guided examples to help attendees understand what makes a prompt effective. After a networking lunch, participants will rotate through small-group tables, each focused on a different fundraising challenge. With laptops open and support on hand, attendees will test ideas, troubleshoot common barriers, and generate content they can bring back to their organizations.

This workshop offers a practical, peer-supported environment to learn, experiment, and grow in confidence using AI tools in fundraising. Registration is $15 and includes lunch. Space is limited.
