For Pagosa Springs nonprofits

AI training for nonprofits, built around your actual work.

Small staff, big mission, too many reports. I sit with your team for two hours, watch how the work really gets done, and show you where AI saves time. I will also tell you where it does not.

No obligation Book a visit

Never used AI?

You do not need to know anything.

We go at your pace.

Slow is fine. We stop and go over it again until it makes sense.

Nothing happens without your OK.

I do not install anything or sign you up for anything unless you say yes.

There are no dumb questions.

If you can write an email, you can do this. I will explain every word.

The problem

More reporting. Same number of people.

Nonprofit staff wear every hat: grants, donors, volunteers, the board. AI can take real hours off that pile, as long as someone also knows what should never be typed into it.

The tool was not the problem. Nobody showed them how it fits the work.

Grant reports rebuilt from last year by hand.

Donor thank-you letters that fall behind.

Board minutes that take longer than the meeting.

Volunteer schedules juggled over email.

Newsletters that go out late, or not at all.

A forty-hour week

Hours a good week gives back The rest of the job

What would you do with the hours?

Get home while it is still light and start the fire. Or take Friday off and ski Wolf Creek. That is the whole point.

How it works

One visit tells you if this is worth it.

The evaluation

Two hours on site, plus the written report

I shadow you while you work. No slides, no pitch. I watch the real thing: the forms, the email, the reports, the interruptions.

Then I go away and write it up. You get the report within three business days.

Only if you want it

$150/hr

Training and follow-up

Hands on, by the hour, no minimum block

Built from your report. Your files, your tasks, your words. You leave having done the work with AI, not having watched a demo.

Book an hour or book six. Come back in three months when something changes.

The deliverable

What you leave with.

A written plan

Every repeating task in your week, ranked by how much time AI can actually give back.

Copy-and-paste instructions for your tasks

Your forms, your reports, your language, written out and ready to use. Not generic examples off a website.

A plain-English risk note

What should never be typed into an AI tool, like donor records and client details, and why. Written for staff, not lawyers.

A one-page cheat sheet

Pin it up. New people can follow it without calling anyone.

It is yours to keep whether or not you ever book a training hour.

Why me

I do this every week.

I live in Pagosa Springs. I am your neighbor, not a consultant driving in from Denver.

This is my day job.

Thirty years in technology. I run IT for a local government and built its AI training program from nothing.

I use them all, daily.

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Microsoft Copilot. I will tell you which one fits your work, or that none of them do.

Your setup, not mine.

Free accounts, nonprofit pricing where a tool offers it, or software you already pay for. I sell no software and take no vendor commissions.

What it costs

Two numbers. No packages.

Evaluation Two hours at your desk, plus the written plan and instructions $500
Training and follow-up Optional. Booked after you read the report, by the hour $150/hr

Travel within Pagosa Springs and the surrounding communities is included. Evenings and weekends are usually easier than weekdays.

Start here

Tell me what your week looks like.

The best time to start is mud season. Get it set up while things are slow, before summer hits.

Two hours and $500 tells you whether any of this is worth your time. If the answer is no, I will say so in the report. I reply within one business day.

Sending this does not sign you up for anything. One reply from a person.
