AI skills for the nonprofit sector, written by people who do the work.
A free, open library of 63 agent skills covering fundraising, governance, finance, programs, communications, advocacy, people, strategy, technology, and retail — ready to drop into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Perplexity.
Eleven domains. Real practitioner depth.
Each skill is a single SKILL.md file with named frameworks, standard deliverables, numbered steps, and common failure modes — not generic advice a model already knows.
Fundraising & Development
Grow donor revenue with disciplined pipelines, appeals, events, and stewardship built for how nonprofits actually raise money.
Governance & Compliance
Run a healthy board, keep policies current, and stay in good standing with the IRS and state charity regulators.
Finance & Operations
Budgets, financial statements, reserves, controls, HR, and the operating backbone that makes mission delivery possible.
Programs & Impact
Design programs from logic model to outcomes measurement, and make honest, useful cases for scale.
Communications & Marketing
Tell dignity-centered stories across annual reports, newsletters, social, media relations, and donation pages that convert.
Advocacy & Public Policy
Turn policy analysis into legislative action with lobbying, coalitions, voter engagement, and grassroots mobilization.
Volunteer & People
Recruit, retain, and prepare the people, both paid and volunteer, who carry the mission forward.
Strategy & Growth
Strategic planning, EOS/Traction, revenue diversification, mergers, and change management for nonprofit leaders.
Technology & Data
Choose and run donor CRMs, protect constituent data, and stitch together the digital fundraising stack.
Retail & Resale Operations
For thrift, resale, ReStore, and social-enterprise retail: donation intake, pricing, store operations, staffing, and online resale.
Executive Leadership
The CEO/ED seat: board partnership, executive communications, dashboards, executive search, and 30/60/90-day transitions.
Made for how nonprofits actually work.
General-purpose AI assistants give generic advice. These skills teach agents the specific frameworks, deliverables, compliance realities, and dignity-centered practices the sector expects.
Sector-specific frameworks
Moves management, SMART objectives, Form 990 schedules, logic models, 501(c)(3)/(c)(4) structure — named the way funders, boards, and auditors expect.
Two lenses per skill
Most skills flag how guidance differs for hands-on practitioners versus advisors and consultants guiding nonprofit clients.
Standard deliverables
Every skill produces recognizable artifacts — an LOI, a case for support, a budget narrative, a board matrix — with clear boundaries against neighboring skills.
Agent-ready format
