The class will be held at People’s Self-Help Housing at 1060 Kendall Road in San Luis Obispo.

Designed for executive directors, development directors or anyone involved in nonprofit grant writing, Leveraging AI for Impactful Grant Proposals will introduce participants to the basics of AI, its applications in grant writing, and the practical knowledge necessary to confidently integrate it into future processes for increased success in securing funding.

In addition to providing hands-on experience with AI tools for research, drafting and refining proposals, the class will cover ethical decisions, data privacy and security as it relates to the use of these tools for grant writing.

The class will be presented by Dennis Baker, chief executive officer of DM Baker Media, and consultant to numerous established corporations, nonprofits, and high-profile individuals.
