Tips for Best Results
Be specific: Mention the type of donor, campaign, or communication channel.
Give context: Include details about your organization’s mission, audience, or tone.
Start with the goal or output you have in mind: for example, “I’m trying to raise $50,000” or “I need to draft three emails and two social media posts for Giving Tuesday.”
Add 2–3 facts or constraints: The Coach already has some information about your mission and fundraising history, but you might also know specifics such as:
- You’re raising money for an emergency appeal.
- You need email copy under 150 words.
- You want the tone to be warm and hopeful.
Providing these details up front makes the output more relevant and tailored.
Revise and personalize: Use the draft as a starting point and add your unique voice.
