What if your nonprofit had a fundraising assistant who never slept, never got tired, and was always ready to thank donors, answer questions, and even close gifts? With AI, you can build that assistant—and train it in a single weekend.


In this episode of The Million Dollar Nonprofit, Tom Kelly walks you through a simple three-step framework—Teach, Train, Turn On—to create your own 24/7 AI-powered fundraising assistant. You’ll learn how to feed it the right stories and FAQs, build a donor-friendly playbook, and automate workflows that engage donors day and night.


Tom also shares a real-life example of a nonprofit that set up their assistant in just three days—and immediately boosted donations, answered dozens of donor questions, and converted one-time givers into monthly supporters.


If you’re ready to scale donor care without adding staff, this episode is your step-by-step guide.
