## How do I plan a fundraiser with only a few volunteers?

Tell an AI chat how many volunteers you have and how many hours each can give, and ask for a plan that fits that capacity. Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini all handle this prompt. Nonprofits on Claude Team or Enterprise plans also get a built-in nonprofit plugin for fundraising and marketing, as of November 2026. A small PTA or rescue group can use the copy-paste prompt on any plan.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I help run [YOUR GROUP, e.g. a school PTA or animal rescue], and we want to raise [FUNDRAISING GOAL, e.g. $5,000 for new playground gear] by [FUNDRAISING DEADLINE, e.g. March 1]. We have [VOLUNTEER TEAM, e.g. four volunteers] who can each give about [HOURS PER WEEK, e.g. 2 hours] a week. Our supporters mostly reach us through [HOW SUPPORTERS HEAR, e.g. a Facebook group and school emails]. Plan a fundraising campaign that fits that capacity and no more. Give me a week-by-week plan with who does what, and flag any week that looks too heavy. Then draft the first announcement, one reminder and a thank-you message in a friendly, plain voice.
```

## Step by step

1. Open a new chat in Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.
2. Paste the prompt and fill in your group, goal and volunteer hours.
3. Ask for any task to be cut if a week looks too full.
4. Copy the drafted messages into your group's email or chat.

## What you'll get

A week-by-week fundraising plan matched to your team's real hours, with three ready-to-send messages.
