AI USE-CASE:

Send a personalized DM to a potential grant connection LinkedIn. This could be to a grants director, a board member, or someone who is connected closely to the foundation.

NOTE: Do your research on the foundation beforehand and verify their giving priorities align with what your organization does. If you're unsure, you can also state this to the contact.

AI PROMPT:

I need to send a DM to a potential grant connection. The message needs to be down-to-earth, personal, and brief without sounding like AI. I'm the JOB TITLE for ORGANIZATION and we provide SERVICES WE PROVIDE. I'm reaching out because HOW THEY'RE CONNECTED TO THE FOUNDATION. I think our organization would align with their giving because WHY YOU THINK THEY MIGHT GIVE TO YOU. <<<If unsure if you're a fit - I wondered if our program might be of interest to you for grant funding.>>>

EXAMPLE:

I need to send a DM to a potential grant connection. The message needs to be down-to-earth, personal, and brief without sounding like AI. I'm a Grants Specialist for the Musical Alliance Program and we provide music education to underprivileged kids. I'm connecting with them because they are the grants director for the foundation. I think our organization would align with their giving interests due to your connection with the Downtown Music Association.

HOW TO USE THIS PROMPT:

Copy and paste the AI PROMPT into an AI tool like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity.

POTENTIAL AI RESPONSE:

Hi [Name],

I noticed your work with the Downtown Music Association and wanted to connect. I'm a Grants Specialist with the Musical Alliance Program - we bring music education to kids who wouldn't otherwise have access to it. Given the Helping Hand Foundation's commitment to music initiatives, I'd love to tell you more about our work and see if it interests you.

Let me know if you'd be open to a short conversation!
