The 3-Job Fix

AI won’t replace your job. It’ll make your 3-job workload actually doable.

Let’s be honest — When most nonprofit leaders hear “AI,” they don’t think opportunity.
They think: “That’s for people with investors, tech teams and budgets, or time I don’t have.”

And they’re not wrong.

Because most AI tools weren’t built for community organizers.
Or education advocates.
Or development directors juggling programs, payroll, and donor calls.

They were built for tech-native, profit-driven teams with product managers, onboarding guides, and a full day to learn new workflows.

Not for you.

But here’s the truth:
You’re not behind. You’re not underqualified.
The tools just weren’t designed for the way you work.
Until now.

So let’s clear a few things up…

❌ AI is not about replacing people.
It’s about replacing time-wasting, soul-sucking tasks that don’t deserve your energy — like formatting board reports, rewriting bios for the third time, or manually pulling numbers for funders.

❌ You don’t need to “get good at AI.”
You need one good use case that saves you 2 hours this week. That’s it. And then you build from there.

❌ You don’t need to learn new platforms.
You need someone to show you how to connect the dots between the tools you already use — and how AI plugs in to make them smarter.

Now here’s what is true:

✅ AI can write the first draft so you’re not staring at a blank page
✅ AI can pull your program data into a digestible update in seconds
✅ AI can summarize meetings, clean up grant copy, and remind you of what matters

All without replacing you.

The ‘One-Click’ Board Update System

What It Is

A simple system using ChatGPT + your own words to generate clear, professional board updates — without the overthinking, formatting, or rewriting.

Why? Because, you don’t need another app. You need a better way to tell your board what’s really happening — clearly, concisely, and in your voice.

Why It Works

Because your board doesn’t care about perfect syntax.
They care about confidence, clarity, and what got done.

This system pulls your actual impact from the noise — and writes what you meant to say in the way you wish you had time to say it.

How to Use It

1. Open ChatGPT and hit the mic.

   Start a new conversation using the voice feature (mobile or desktop).

   Speak casually — like you’re catching up with a teammate.

   Talk through what happened this month:

   • What did you accomplish?

   • What challenges came up?

   • What should your board know?

2. Then say something like this:

   “Take everything I just said and write a 250-word board update in our nonprofit’s voice. Make it clear, warm, and confident. Highlight two major wins, one challenge (framed positively), and a clear next step. Format it so it’s easy to read and board-ready.”

3. Review the draft, tweak if needed, and send.

   Ask for edits, alternate versions, or summaries — ChatGPT will handle the rest.

Time saved: 2–4 hours
Stress avoided: A full afternoon of dread
