Planning Travel And Family Vacations: Episode 251 [Video]

Is everyone you know planning a family vacation, or does it sometimes just feel that way? In our experience, there are “vacations” that feel like a lot of work, and other ways to spend school holidays that feel more relaxing and don’t break the bank. In today’s episode (Part One of Two in a series all about planning family travel) we’re talking about what goes into planning a family vacation you’ll actually enjoy–from knowing yourself as a mom and being realistic about the ages of your kids, to finding the sweet spot between getting a break from the responsibilities of home and over-extending yourself on the road.We also have some frank talk about the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, and how its arrival on the scene has (or has not) impacted our own travel planning this spring.

Increasing Grant Funding With AI [Video]

We jump into the exciting realm of leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) for securing grant funding with the insightful Margit Brazda Poirer, the CEO of Grants4Good.com. Margit gives us a wealth of information on how NPO’s can utilize AI to streamline their grant application processes and increase their chances of securing funding. As Margit starts, “We’re in a whole new AI age.” With the advent of AI technologies like ChatGPT and Google Bard, nonprofits have an unprecedented opportunity to revolutionize their grant writing workflows. Margit details the ease of use of these AI platforms, likening them to a virtual assistant that can generate grant narratives, letters of inquiry, and even social media posts within seconds. One key takeaway is the importance of understanding how to harness AI ethically and effectively. Margit emphasizes the need for caution when it comes to data privacy and urges users to avoid inputting confidential information into AI prompts. Instead, she recommends using AI as a tool to enhance productivity and creativity while still maintaining the integrity of the organization’s voice and mission. Margit debunks the notion that AI will render professional grant writers obsolete. While AI can certainly assist with tasks like drafting documents and researching funders, the nuanced art of grant writing still requires human expertise and understanding of the grant-seeking process. Margit’s insights shed light on the transformative potential of AI in the nonprofit sector, offering a glimpse into a future where grant writing is more accessible and efficient for organizations of all sizes. In Margit’s words, “I think more and more people can do this grant writing on their own, and frankly, I think that’s fantastic.” With the right tools and knowledge, nonprofits can leverage AI to unlock new opportunities and advance their missions in the ever-evolving landscape of philanthropy.
