Faster Insights. Smarter Fundraising. Less Spreadsheet Time.
If you work in a nonprofit, you wear a lot of hats. This one-hour session will show you how AI tools like Querri and ChatGPT can save you hours each week—from writing grant proposals to analyzing your impact data. You don’t need to be a data expert or a techie. You just need curiosity, and lunch is on us.
Learn how to use tools like ChatGPT to draft fundraising appeals, social posts, and grant proposals—faster and with less staring at a blank screen.
We’ll demo how Querri helps nonprofits clean, combine, and visualize data—all by asking simple questions like:“Which donors haven’t given this year?” or“Show me program participation by zip code.”
See how to create relevant visualizations from your donor lists, CRM exports, and spreadsheets, so you can track what matters.
Discover how to spot giving trends, identify lapsed donors, and measure program impact to improve your fundraising and storytelling.
We'll show how to turn messy data into beautiful grant-ready summaries and recurring reports—no wrangling required
No technical background required, just bring your curiosity!
When: Wednesday, July 9th, 12 - 1pm
Where: The Ripple Fund
Lunch Provided: Yes! (Please RSVP)
Cost: Free! But capped at 30 people, so please register to receive your ticket.

From Gemini, to Veo3, to Vertex AI and much more: Google has recently released a ton of really useful AI powered tools and products. Although late to the AI/LLM race, Google is quickly emerging as a leading AI provider, despite much of this progress flying under the radar. However, navigating their vast landscape of AI products and new releases can be particularly complex. In this talk we will go over many of Google's modern AI offerings, how you can access them, and what their ideal use cases are. If time allows we may also get into some specific tool demos. This talk is perfect for anyone interested in Google AI, but unsure what they offer or where to start.
Agenda:
Join us at 5:30 for snacks, drinks, conversation, and socializing.
6:00 - Main talk(s)
7:00 - 7:30 - Wrap up and hang out some more
7:30 - ? - After Party*
======================================
"Call for Papers"! .. if you have some knowledge to share with the community, please talk to Dave at the next meetup. We'd love to have 1 or 2 talks per meetup lined up for the coming months.
*After Party? .. The meetup is right next to Revelry Brewing. If folks are interested, we can clean up at the CLC and keep the conversation going over a nice local brew.
