Our Tech4Good group is partnering with our local Tampa Salesforce Nonprofit group for a virtual "office hours" to help nonprofits with any and all Salesforce/CRM questions or issues.

Who should attend this?
1.) Salesforce professionals who want to help nonprofits
2.) Nonprofits already using Salesforce - bring any questions or items on your 'need to fix' or 'need to learn how to do' lists
3.) Nonprofits who want to learn more about Salesforce, a CRM tool which offers up to 10 free licenses to nonprofits via their 'Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack'
4.) Nonprofits with general questions about CRMs

There are hundreds upon hundreds of ways AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot can help your nonprofit, including: grants writing, communications, full-blown marketing plans and content calendars, fundraiser ideas and planning, staff development, and so much more!

Join this two-part event to first learn about, and see first hand through demos, some major nonprofit use cases/ideas. Part two will then be small group breakouts, where nonprofits will be paired with techies with AI experience to tackle your questions and execute on any ideas you have!

1. Improved operational efficiency
2. Donor and volunteer engagement
3. Better data analysis and reports (i.e. sentiment analysis)
4. Event/Fundraiser Planning
5. Creating or Enhancing Communications
6. Marketing/Social Media

8. Staff/Volunteer Education

Join AJ Hawley for a virtual introduction and crash course of Power Automate, an automation tool that enables users to create workflows to streamline repetitive tasks and processes. It is designed with a low-code, user-friendly interface that allows anyone, regardless of technical expertise, to automate processes and improve efficiency within their organization!

Nonprofits/attendees will get an overview of the tool, as well as the many benefits Power Automate provides, including:

1. Considerable time savings
2. Reduced error/more accurate information
3. Cost savings, as it helps consolidate expenses by allowing creation of custom solutions tailored to specific needs
4. Potential reduction in the need for other software/systems
5. Efficiency, as it integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft tools like Excel and Sharepoint

Presenter Bio: AJ Hawley began his career in IT as a software developer. However, he quickly moved into business analysis before anyone could deploy his code. Following that, he has spent the last 10 years consulting in and building solutions on the Microsoft Power Platform. In 2021 he founded his own independent consulting business where, since its launch, he has won employee of the month every month consecutively while simultaneously disappointing his boss every day. When he’s not at his computer providing clients with innovative tech solutions, you can find him at his computer helping nonprofit organizations automate their business processes or at his computer co-hosting the live web-show Analysts After Dark. In fact, there have actually been more documented sightings of Sasquatch than recorded occurrences of AJ outside. Ignoring the occasional client visit or conference, he ironically resides in the sunshine state…you know, for the weather.
