Frequently Asked Questions

How can AI help with program outcome reporting?

Generate Chart turns your outcome data into professional visualizations for funder reports and board presentations. Content Repurposer helps you draft compelling narrative sections. Deep Research can find sector benchmarks to contextualize your results and show how your program compares to similar work.

Can AI translate program materials into other languages?

Yes. The Translate tool supports 30+ languages with context-appropriate translations. For community-facing materials, it's important to specify informal/conversational register so translations are accessible to participants rather than reading like formal government documents.

What community resource data can AI find?

Places Search finds local service providers — food banks, health clinics, libraries, childcare centers — with addresses, hours, and contact details. Economic Data provides Census demographics for your service area. Deep Research can synthesize information about specific programs and their eligibility requirements.

Can AI help me design a program evaluation framework?

Yes. Deep Research and Academic Research can help you find validated measurement tools and evidence-based outcomes frameworks for your program type. They can identify what peer-reviewed literature says are the right metrics for your population and intervention, which is exactly what funders want to see.

How do I use AI to find volunteer corporate partners?

Lead Finder can identify companies in your area by industry and size, and filter for those with known CSR programs. Deep Research can help you understand a target company's existing community engagement commitments before you reach out, so you can tailor your partnership pitch.
