If you lead a nonprofit, this workshop is built for the work already sitting on your desk.

Louisiana Catalyst is partnering with the West Monroe-West Ouachita Chamber of Commerce and Century Next Bank to present AI for Nonprofits Part 2: From Mission to Message, a free, practical workshop led by Catalyst President Quentin Durr.

We’ll show nonprofit leaders how to begin building an Organization Brain using the information they already have, including their mission, programs, outcomes, stories, partnerships, brand assets, and funding history.

This foundation can help your team create stronger donor communications, turn one impact story into content for multiple platforms, and evaluate new funding opportunities.

You’ll leave with the foundation for your Organization Brain and practical AI tools to create content, review funding opportunities, and put the system to work.

Tuesday, August 11
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
WMWO Chamber of Commerce
112 Professional Drive, West Monroe

The previous workshop is not required, but participants should have a basic familiarity with AI. Space is limited, so reserve your seat here:
