November cohort for nonprofit organizations

Yukata One for NGOs. You build your own AI work system on your organization's real work.

The same program as Yukata One: step by step, with a facilitator and a group, you build your own AI assistants and grow as an AI operator. The difference is that you do everything in the context of your foundation or association: fundraising, partners, the people you serve, your website and whether AI chats know about you at all.

Ask about the November cohort9 online workshops, 9:00-11:00 (Warsaw time): November 3, 5, 10, 12, 17, 19, 24, 26 and 27, 2026. The cohort runs in Polish.

The whole, not a slice

Fundraising is one piece. An organization needs a whole system.

An organization has many things going on at once: grant applications, thanking donors, looking after the companies that support you, answering people, the website and social media, and on top of that regulations. That is why we do not teach grant writing alone. We look at the organization as a whole, from a marketing and sales angle: where the money comes from, how to keep relationships going and how to make sure people find you.

What we focus on in NGOs

Six areas we add to the core program.

You work through each of them on your real cases, not on textbook examples.

01

Fundraising

A review of grant calls and funders with sources, a "we apply or we pass" decision with the reason written down, donor letters and reports written in your voice.

02

Partner care

Companies and sponsors who support you: the history of the relationship in one place, contact reminders, thank-you notes and a short report for the partner, so the relationship lasts longer than one campaign.

03

Supporting the people you serve

Who reached out, what they asked, what happens next: order in your contacts with people, whether you work in a spreadsheet or a CRM. An assistant helps answer recurring questions, and you decide what goes out to people.

04

A landing page in 20 minutes

With the CTO assistant we build a simple landing page and publish it live, during the workshop. We show that when the need comes up, you can handle it yourselves.

05

Visibility in AI chats

More and more people ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot whom to help and where to find support. You check whether AI knows your organization, confuses it with another or leaves it out, and you get a plan of fixes. We use the "Visible in AI" package from the yukata Base.

06

AI Act and NIS2

The AI Act also applies to organizations that use AI, including the AI skills of your team. You build a register of AI tools and a simple policy, check whether and to what extent NIS2 applies to you, and agree which donor and beneficiary data never goes into AI.

The core program in your organization

9 workshops. In each one you build a piece of the system for your organization.

The program is the same as in Yukata One. In W1-W2 you work in the browser, from W3 on your own computer. Next to each step: how it works in an NGO.

Workshop 1

Foundation

files about your organization, donors, partners and the people you serve; a first assistant that uses them.

Workshop 2

Voice + deep research

an assistant that writes in your style: thank-you notes, letters, posts; research on a funder or a company you want to approach.

Workshop 3

Moving to your computer

your organization's materials in one place, a CTO assistant that helps with the tools you already use, a backup.

Workshop 4

Brain + Operations

decisions from several perspectives, for example which grant call to pick, a weekly plan for your campaign and partner contacts.

Workshop 5

Q&A "The terminal, demystified"

getting the whole group to the same level and solving a real problem from the room, live.

Workshop 6

Producer

one activity report becomes a website text, posts, a newsletter and material for a partner.

Workshop 7

Dedicated + hygiene

your own assistant for your role, for example fundraiser or partner manager; data security, the AI Act and NIS2.

Workshop 8

Skills and automations

a weekly review of grant calls, an audit of your organization's visibility in AI chats, your first automation.

Workshop 9

Finale

your whole team of assistants runs one real task for your organization, from research to a letter and a post; demo and certificate.

What stays after the course

You keep a system that knows your organization.

Your team of assistants, recordings of all workshops, a certificate and annual access to YUKATA.ai, including the Base of ready-to-use resources with the "Visible in AI" and "AI Act Starter" packages. The system is tool-agnostic: it works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot, so switching tools does not mean rebuilding everything. Decisions and sending always stay with you.

Voices of NGO leaders

Bogusia Łuka
Bogusia Łuka
President of the Board, Uniwersytet Dzieci Foundation

I used AI only occasionally and in complete chaos. During the course, I organized the knowledge base I use for management, built my own project and created assistants tailored to my language and needs. I recommend this training to people who feel discouraged by AI because they lack a plan and want to finally integrate these tools sensibly into their everyday work.

President, Fundacja Uwaga, Śmieciarka Jedzie

Artur did not give a theoretical talk about AI. He showed the system he uses himself as a serial entrepreneur and shared how to build it. That is exactly what the president of a foundation needs. I finished the training with a working system and the know-how to expand it. I recommend it to anyone in an NGO who juggles many roles and needs order in priorities, reviews, delegation and automating repetitive tasks, for example in fundraising and partner care.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this a fundraising-only course?+
No. Fundraising is one of six areas. Partners, supporting the people you serve, your own landing page, visibility in AI chats and regulations matter just as much. Each participant builds out the system where their organization needs it most.
How is it different from a regular Yukata One cohort?+
The core program is the same. In this cohort the examples, tasks and extra areas are chosen for nonprofit organizations, and the group is made up of people with similar challenges.
What language is the cohort in?+
Polish. The workshops, materials and group all run in Polish. In English, you can buy Yukata Platform, annual access for one person.
I am not technical. Can I do this?+
Yes. The course is for non-technical people. We do every step together live, and later the CTO assistant helps you with technical matters.
What about donor and beneficiary data?+
We set clear rules: personal and sensitive data does not go into AI. You work on descriptions of your organization, programs and processes, not on databases of people.
I cannot attend every session live.+
All workshops are recorded.
We want to train the whole team.+
For teams of 25 people or more there is a private cohort, see For Teams. A smaller team signs up here, each person separately.
