Impact Storytelling Using AI for Nonprofits | Birmingham AI Nonprofit Breakout December 2025

Turn scattered nonprofit data into clear stories for boards, donors, and your community—using AI plus a simple 3-question framework.

Recorded December 2, 2025, in this Birmingham AI Nonprofit Breakout, Matt Smith (Director of IT, Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School) shows how to transform “messy, real-world data” (attendance, surveys, feedback, notes) into a master impact narrative you can reuse across board reports, grant applications, donor updates, and public storytelling. You’ll also see how the same dataset can produce completely different (but equally true) outputs depending on the audience—plus a live look at building a custom Gemini “Gem” that remembers your org’s context.

Why This Matters:
Nonprofits don’t have a “time problem”—they have a capacity problem. This session offers a repeatable workflow to:

Combine quantitative metrics + qualitative stories into one organized “source of truth”

Communicate differently to different stakeholders (board vs. community vs. donors) without rewriting from scratch

Use AI as a thinking partner to spot patterns, themes, and next questions faster

Make smarter decisions while protecting your team’s time for mission-critical work
You’ll also hear practical cautions about sensitive data, anonymization, and policy choices before uploading information into AI tools.
