Challenge: Doing More with Less in a Fast-Paced Nonprofit Environment

BGCBB operates in a space where time, clarity, and communication are mission-critical—but staff bandwidth is limited. As the organization grew, the team needed better ways to:

• Align staff around performance expectations
• Draft and deploy internal policies more efficiently
• Improve the consistency and speed of social media outreach
• Streamline internal communications across departments

They were interested in artificial intelligence, but wanted real-world training that would leave every department better equipped to integrate AI into their daily work.

Solution: Two Half-Day Deep Dive AI Workshops

Sourcetoad delivered a custom, hands-on training engagement built specifically for nonprofits. Split over two half-day sessions, the “AI Deep Dive” introduced staff to Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, prompt writing best practices, and advanced AI workflows using real scenarios from their day-to-day operations.

The workshops covered:

• Crafting effective prompts using tone, format, and role cues
• Chain-of-thought reasoning for complex problem-solving
• “Few-shot” prompting to generate grant proposals and reports
• Image generation with tools like DALL·E for flyers and social content
• Responsible AI use, including data privacy and oversight
• Implementation planning for real workflows like policy rollouts and internal updates

Each team member left with a customized AI use case, ready to deploy.
