Where Nonprofit Innovation Meets the Fast Lane
Join fellow nonprofit leaders for a unique, hands-on Promptathon designed to explore how AI can help organisations work smarter, engage supporters more effectively and unlock greater impact.
Carefully curated by mhance, this invitation-only event brings together a select group of nonprofit organisations to share ideas, tackle common challenges and explore how AI can deliver meaningful impact across the sector.
Set against the backdrop of F1 Arcade, this exclusive event combines collaboration, creativity and a little friendly competition. Working alongside peers and mhance experts, you'll tackle real nonprofit challenges, experiment with AI prompts and discover practical ways to accelerate outcomes across your organisation.
Whether you're just starting your AI journey or looking to build on existing knowledge, this event is designed to inspire new ideas, encourage collaboration and demonstrate what's possible when people and technology work together.
The Challenge
Just as every Formula 1 team relies on strategy, teamwork and data to gain a competitive edge, nonprofits are increasingly looking for new ways to improve efficiency, increase supporter engagement and make better-informed decisions.
During the Promptathon, you'll join a team led by an mhance facilitator and compete to develop the most effective AI-powered solution to a real-world nonprofit scenario.
Each team will be assigned one of the following challenges:
-
Grant management
-
Case management
-
Major donor giving/philanthropy
- Individual giving
