SUMMARY:The $150 Million Secret: Free Money\, Free Fellows\, and Free Tim
 e Back
DESCRIPTION:Your nonprofit lost money this month. Not because you overspe
 nt\, but because money set aside for organizations like yours went unclai
 med\, again.\n\nSomewhere out there is a grant with your name on it\, qui
 etly funding somebody else. A funder who never needs to be repaid said ye
 s to an organization half your size because they knew the program existed
  and you did not. A fellow whose salary is covered by someone else is bui
 lding someone else's program right now. And your best people\, the ones w
 ho came for the mission\, spent tonight retyping receipts into a spreadsh
 eet.\n\nYou know the feeling. It is 11 PM and you are the executive direc
 tor\, the development office\, the bookkeeper\, the receptionist\, and th
 e IT department\, all at once. The report is due Friday. The thank-you no
 tes are three weeks behind. The board keeps asking about your AI strategy
 \, and you have not had time to eat lunch\, never mind build one.\n\nHere
  is the part that should make you angry: the help you need already exists
 \, it is free\, and nobody handed you the map.\n\nFor one hour\, Dr. Beth
  Griffith hands you the map. The $150 million secret comes apart in three
  pieces:\n\nFREE MONEY. The grants\, forgivable funding\, and giving prog
 rams built for organizations exactly like yours\, including the funders w
 ho say yes to first-time applicants\, and how to position your story so a
  reviewer sees a fundable organization instead of a risky bet.\n\nFREE FE
 LLOWS. The fellowship\, service corps\, and internship pipelines that pla
 ce capable\, paid people inside your organization while someone else cove
 rs the check. Who qualifies as a host site\, what the applications really
  require\, and the deadlines that decide whether you get a fellow this ye
 ar or watch another one build somebody else's program.\n\nFREE TIME BACK.
  The Digital Helpers a nonprofit can set up without writing a single line
  of code: one that drafts your donor thank-you notes\, one that answers t
 he phone while your one staffer is at lunch\, one that chases the paperwo
 rk so your program director can go back to the program. People first. AI 
 second. Impact always.\n\nYou walk out with a claim map of every resource
  named in the session\, the deadlines that matter over the next 12 months
 \, and the first three steps to take this quarter. Come with your board c
 hair and you will leave with your next board meeting agenda already writt
 en.\n\nWho this is for: executive directors\, founders\, board members\, 
 program managers\, development staff\, and volunteers at small and midsiz
 e nonprofits\, especially community-based organizations doing big work on
  small budgets. No AI experience needed. Total beginners are the entire p
 oint of the room.\n\nYour presenter has the receipts: Dr. Beth Griffith\,
  AIC\, BAP\, GIP\, HIC\, LEED\, is President of NEPAI (Northeast Professi
 onals in Artificial Intelligence)\, whose mission is simple: AI is for ev
 eryone. She serves as Executive Director of Gigs Uplift Mass\, has traine
 d more than 587 business owners and workers\, mentored over 1\,400 people
 \, facilitated nearly 3\,600 tax returns generating $7 million in refunds
  for low- and middle-income individuals\, and helped secure over $2 milli
 on in forgivable funding for gig workers. She has spent her career findin
 g the free money. This is the hour she shows you where it lives.\n\nHybri
 d and free: join on Zoom from anywhere\, or be in the room at a Dedham\, 
 Massachusetts location shared with registrants once confirmed. Nothing is
  sold. Bring your biggest question and your budget headache.
LOCATION:To be confirmed: an in-person location in Dedham\, Massachusetts
 \, shared directly with registrants as soon as it is confirmed. Online at
 tendees join live on Zoom from anywhere.\, Dedham\, MA (exact address sha
 red with registrants once the venue is confirmed)
