Hi everyone, happy Friday eve! I just posted a new resource in the classroom showing you step-by-step how to set-up ChatGPT to email you new grant opportunities each week using the task feature. There are so many ways that you can use the task feature in ChatGPT. However, I wanted you to practice using this tool with something really useful that I know a lot of us are always searching for: new grants. For quick access, I linked the lesson below. Please let me know if you set this up and, as always, I am here if you have any questions. Let's go find some new grant opportunities! https://www.skool.com/ai-powered-nonprofit-9472/classroom/a14d3493?md=1f27af11a4ec4f17a52b3bd5822f6442
