The Nonprofit AI Almanac

Communications and storytelling

Draft a newsletter

Turns your notes into a friendly, well-organized newsletter in minutes.

Lower risk: public info only — Use news you would be happy to see published; leave out private client or donor details.

Please note: This site is only a guide to help people understand. Consult your IT, security and/or privacy department for clarification.

Before you start, gather

Copy [NEWS UPDATES] and [EVENT AND DATE] from your approved program updates and event calendar. Take [ACTION] from the current campaign plan. Leave out anything not yet cleared for sharing.

Starter prompt

Write a [MONTH] newsletter for [ORGANIZATION NAME] supporters. Include a short welcome, these updates: [NEWS UPDATES], one upcoming event ([EVENT AND DATE]), and a clear call to action: [ACTION]. Warm tone, short paragraphs, and 3 subject line options. Use only the updates I give you; if a detail such as a date or a name is missing, write MISSING INFO instead of guessing.

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.

Open an AI tool

You are leaving this guide. Copy the prompt first, then open a tool. The link goes to the website of the company named on each link, in a new tab. That company's terms and privacy policy apply there. Paste the prompt in, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't enter real names or confidential details.

Check the result

Verify names, dates and links, and make sure every update is accurate and approved for sharing.

What it might get wrong

An invented milestone, a headline number nobody gave it, or an event date and time that drifts from [EVENT AND DATE]. The welcome can also praise results you never reported.
