Project Timeline
6 Month Demo Scenario
The Challenge
This demo scenario models several critical operational challenges commonly faced by mid-sized nonprofits that hinder their mission and growth potential:
Manual Donor Management
Staff spent 30+ hours weekly manually segmenting donors, crafting personalized communications, and tracking engagement patterns, leaving little time for strategic initiatives.
Grant Application Bottleneck
The team could only apply to 15-20 grants annually due to time-intensive research, writing, and reporting processes, missing out on significant funding opportunities.
Limited Impact Measurement
Data from field projects, volunteer activities, and community programs existed in scattered spreadsheets, making it difficult to demonstrate impact to stakeholders.
Volunteer Coordination Chaos
Managing 500+ volunteers across multiple projects required constant manual scheduling, communication, and follow-up, leading to burnout and inefficiencies.
Our Approach
One Hundred Nights implemented a phased approach to AI transformation, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations while maximizing impact:
Discovery & AI Readiness Assessment
We conducted comprehensive interviews with staff, analyzed existing workflows, and evaluated data infrastructure to identify high-impact AI opportunities.
- Mapped 25+ core workflows and pain points
- Assessed data quality and infrastructure gaps
- Prioritized use cases by impact and feasibility
AI Strategy & Solution Design
Based on the assessment, we designed a tailored AI ecosystem that addressed their most critical needs while building toward long-term transformation.
- Created AI-powered donor engagement system
- Designed grant discovery and writing assistant
- Developed automated impact tracking dashboard
- Built intelligent volunteer coordination platform
Implementation & Integration
We deployed AI solutions incrementally, starting with high-impact, low-risk areas, and scaling based on results and feedback.
- Integrated with existing CRM and email platforms
- Deployed custom AI agents for automated workflows
- Implemented real-time monitoring and optimization
Training & Change Management
We ensured successful adoption through comprehensive training, documentation, and ongoing support tailored to different team roles.
- Conducted role-specific training workshops
- Created detailed documentation and video tutorials
- Established internal AI champions for peer support
