What you get
A customized plan for what to implement, and how.
We identify where AI can save your team real time, prioritize what is worth doing first, and turn that into a plan your team can execute.
Prioritized opportunities
Every opportunity we find, scored on likely time saved and complexity, so you can see what to do first and what to leave alone.
A three month sequence
Month by month order of work, sized for a team that already has a full week.
Steps and safeguards
For each recommendation: what to set up, how to test it, and the responsible use guardrails.
HOW IT WORKS
Three easy steps, immediate impact.
1. Apply
Tell us about your organization, the tools you use, and where the week goes. Five minutes.
2. Talk with Greg
If selected, you’ll have a 45-minute Discovery conversation with Greg about your recurring work, current systems, outside costs, and where your team could most use additional capacity.
3. Get your Action Plan
A prioritized plan with practical guidance for putting the strongest opportunities into action.
Three months in, the goal is that two or three recurring things your team does by hand are no longer done by hand.
DIY guidance, with DFY help if you want it.
Every Action Plan includes practical DIY implementation guidance you can use on your own. If you would rather have help putting it into practice, we are also exploring optional done for you support, from building a single workflow to ongoing implementation.

Who writes your plan
Built for EDs, by an ED.
Greg Harrell-Edge spent nine years as Executive Director of CoachArt, where he helped build an internal platform that reduced the staff time required to match a volunteer with a student from more than seven hours to under seven minutes.
Genuinely useful free resources made a real difference in those years. Proimpact exists to make that kind of practical support available to other nonprofit leaders.

Start with the capability you need, not a product someone wants to sell you.
Plenty of nonprofit software is adding AI right now, and some of it is genuinely useful. But your plan starts from your actual recurring work, and often the answer is a workflow you build once rather than another subscription you rent forever.
The goal is to build AI capability your organization can use, adapt, and improve over time—not just rent another AI feature.
Where the sector actually is
A lot of what gets pitched to nonprofits right now is donor finding bots and prospecting tools. For most organizations the real opportunity is smaller and more practical: recurring work inside the systems you already run.
92%
of nonprofits surveyed are using AI in some capacity.
Only 7% report major measurable impact, and 4% have AI meaningfully integrated into core recurring operations.

This is especially useful if…
You’re a nonprofit ED/CEO trying to determine where AI could create meaningful organizational value.
Your team is already experimenting with ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or other AI tools but usage still feels scattered.
You see opportunities to save meaningful staff time or reduce recurring expenses but aren’t sure where to start.
You want practical implementation guidance rather than another general AI training.
You’re willing to prioritize a few high-value opportunities rather than try everything at once.
Already using AI? Good.
This isn’t AI 101. The Action Plan is designed to help you move from individual tools and one-off prompts toward repeatable workflows that create measurable value. Organizations that have moved past initial experimentation — but haven’t yet systematized their use — tend to be especially strong candidates.
Got questions?
Is the Nonprofit AI Action Plan really free?
How much time will this require from me or my team?
Is this useful if we're already using ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, etc.?
Do we need a technical team or a large AI/software budget?
What exactly will we receive?
What happens if we want help implementing it?
How are organizations selected?
What about privacy and sensitive organizational data?
