2026 AI Fundraising & Grants Workshop Series
In 2026, the Extension Foundation will partner with NTAE Key Informant Nate Birt to host a 7-part Zoom-based workshop series: Artificial Intelligence Fundraising and Grants Use Cases for Extension Professionals.
Sessions run third Thursday of each month from January–July 2026. Workshops are 75 minutes and are designed to stand alone while also building logically for participants who attend the full series. Each session is designed specifically for Cooperative Extension professionals and will feature practical demonstrations, Q&A, and interactive examples grounded in real fundraising and grants work across Extension!
