Plan a content calendar
Lays out what to post and when, so you stop scrambling for ideas.
Lower risk: public info only — Share your public plans, such as events and campaigns, not private internal matters.

Before you start, gather
Copy [DATES AND CAMPAIGNS] from your grant calendar and fundraising plan. Set [POSTS PER WEEK] from what your team actually managed last month. Fill [CHANNELS] with accounts you already run.
Starter prompt
Create a [NUMBER OF WEEKS]-week content calendar for [ORGANIZATION NAME] on [CHANNELS]. We are a small team with a limited budget and no designer. Key dates and campaigns, including grant deadlines and giving days: [DATES AND CAMPAIGNS]. We can post [POSTS PER WEEK] times a week. Mix education, stories, thank-yous and asks, and give a one-line idea for each post. Use the dates and campaigns I list as they are, and write MISSING INFO instead of guessing a date I did not give.
Paste the prompt into your AI tool first, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't use real names of clients or donors.

Check the result
Confirm the dates and make sure the volume is something your team can really sustain.
What it might get wrong
Holidays, awareness days or giving-day dates placed on the wrong day. A posting pace higher than [POSTS PER WEEK] would justify. Ideas that need photos or video you don't have.
