AI for Non-profits 101

30 Oct 2026
Online
10:00 am - 11:00 am

This members-only webinar will give an overview of the practical ways to use free AI tools to help your non-profit get more done with less.

Most Irish charities are running on fewer people than the work needs. AI won’t fix that, but it will take the drag out of the parts that eat your week — the third draft of a funder report, the policy nobody has had time to update, the thank-you letters written at ten at night.

This one-hour overview, drawn from Joe Houghton’s new book 100 ways AI can help… Charities and Non-profits, shows you what’s worth doing, what to leave alone, and how to start on Monday without spending anything. It stays on the free tiers, because that’s where most charities have to live, and it’s straight about what AI gets wrong. 

Who should attend

Any charity manager, staff member, or volunteer will benefit from this overview.
