Best AI Tools for Nonprofits and Fundraisers in 2025
Grant Writing (Claude Pro — High ROI)
Grant writing is the highest-value AI use case for nonprofits. Most organizations are capacity-constrained on grant writing — there are more opportunities than writing resources. AI does not replace the program expertise, but it dramatically accelerates the writing.
- LOIs (Letters of Intent): Describe the program and funder, Claude drafts a focused LOI matching the funder’s stated priorities
- Full proposals: Upload the RFP to Claude (200K context handles long RFPs), describe your program, get a structured first draft addressing each requirement
- Budget narratives: Provide budget line items, Claude generates the justification narrative explaining each cost
Donor Communication
Appeal letters, impact reports, thank-you notes, board updates — Claude generates drafts that are warm, specific, and aligned with your organization’s voice. The key: always include real stories and specific impact data in your prompts. Generic nonprofit language fails. Specific stories and numbers succeed.
Funder Research (Perplexity Pro)
Identifying new funding opportunities, researching funder priorities, finding alignment between your mission and funder interests — Perplexity Pro with cited sources makes prospect research faster and more reliable than manual foundation directory searches.
