Nonprofits are carrying more pressure than ever. The need is growing, the deadlines are relentless, and funding is more competitive every cycle. Most teams are expected to write stronger grants, faster, with fewer staff, while still proving outcomes and staying aligned to their mission. The problem is not passion. The problem is capacity. When grant work becomes a constant scramble, your story gets rushed, your strategy gets thin, and great programs stay underfunded.
This virtual workshop is built for that exact moment. Artificial intelligence (AI) is not a shortcut to replace your work. It is an opportunity to remove the busywork so you can focus on what only humans can do: make meaning, tell the truth, and move people to action. You will learn how to use AI as a thought partner to find grants that fit, break down requirements quickly, write with clarity, and evaluate your drafts before you submit. You will stay authentic because you are still the author. AI simply helps you work smarter.
This is not theory. This is a hands-on, working session where you will build real outputs in real time. Each attendee receives access to four Fourth Gen Assistants (Grant Finder, Grant Break Down, Grant Writer, Grant Evaluator) used live during the workshop. After the session, you will also receive a companion course to reinforce what you built, so you can repeat the workflow for future grant cycles. The goal is simple: leave with a grant-ready system, not just ideas.
Why Fourth Gen Labs
Fourth Gen Labs is built for this work because we understand grants from both sides of the table. Our founder brings over a decade of experience in contracting and grant management, with direct experience supporting funding decisions and overseeing compliance, plus hands-on experience designing programs that have to deliver real outcomes. That foundation is paired with four years of teaching businesses and community leaders how to use generative AI in practical, responsible ways. Our approach is simple: use AI to strengthen your capacity without losing your integrity, and stay “More Human with AI” by keeping your authentic voice, values, and mission at the center of every proposal.
Reinforcement Learning
The live workshop gives you momentum. The companion course included makes it repeatable. After the session, you will get access to a self-guided course inside Fourth Gen Labs that reinforces each step of the workflow so the skill does not fade after one training. Each module mirrors what you learned live, breaks the process into clear steps, and helps you apply it directly to your real grant opportunities. This support is designed to build confidence, reduce second guessing, and keep your writing clean, consistent, and aligned to your mission.
Fourth Gen Assistants
Fourth Gen Assistants are advanced custom GPTs built specifically for nonprofit grant workflows. Think of them as a focused support team that helps you move faster without cutting corners. After the workshop, you will continue to have access to the four Assistants you used live, so you can repeat the process whenever a new opportunity comes up. They help you find aligned grants, turn confusing funder language into a clear plan, strengthen your narrative while keeping your authentic voice, and evaluate your draft for gaps before you submit. You stay in control. The Assistants help you stay consistent.
