Next steps

(5 minutes)

This video brings together everything you've learned and challenges you to put it into practice immediately. You'll get guidance on selecting a real task from your work, applying all four competencies of the 4D Framework, and building AI Fluency through hands-on experience. The video also introduces blueprints and resources to support your continued learning.

Key takeaways

  • Start with one real task this week: Pick something waiting for you—a grant application, a donor report, program data to analyze—and use what you've learned to tackle it with AI support
  • Apply the full 4D Framework: Begin with Delegation (what needs AI support vs. human judgment?), move to Description (share context about your organization, process, and desired outcomes), use Discernment (evaluate and refine through iteration), and practice Diligence (take responsibility for the final result)
  • Remember it's a loop, not a line: You might flow from Delegation to Description, back to Discernment, and realize you want to Delegate differently. That's your AI Fluency growing through practice
  • Use blueprints to guide your first attempts: Access step-by-step guides for common nonprofit tasks to support your initial AI interactions
  • Share with your community: Use your certificate of completion to start conversations about AI Fluency in your organization

Your final assignment

Before completing this course, choose one real task from your work to tackle with AI support this week.

Step 1: Select your task

Pick something concrete that's waiting for you:

  • A grant application or report due soon
  • Donor communications you've been putting off
  • Program data that needs analysis
  • A policy or procedure that needs updating
  • Event planning or promotional content

Step 2: Apply the 4D Framework

Work through each competency:

  • Delegation: What parts benefit from AI support? What needs your human judgment?
  • Description: Share your organization's context, the task requirements, and how you want AI to approach it
  • Discernment: Evaluate what you get back, identify gaps, and refine your approach
  • Diligence: Take responsibility for the final result, verify accuracy, and be transparent where appropriate

Step 3: Reflect on your experience

After completing the task, consider:

  • What worked well? What would you do differently?
  • Which competencies felt natural? Which need more practice?
  • How will you apply this approach to future tasks?

Continue your learning

Deepen your understanding

If you haven't already, Anthropic's AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations course provides deeper exploration of the 4D Framework and its applications.

Lesson reflection

  • What's the one task you're committing to tackle with AI support this week?
  • How has your relationship with AI changed from the beginning of this course?
  • Who in your organization or network would benefit from taking this course?

Congratulations!

Congratulations on completing AI Fluency for Nonprofits! You've built a foundation in the 4D Framework, practiced applying it to research, writing, data analysis, and workflow automation, and developed strategies for responsible organizational integration.

Remember: AI Fluency isn't a destination—it's an ongoing practice. The tools will continue to evolve, but the framework you've learned will help you adapt thoughtfully, keeping your mission and values at the center of every decision.

You'll be able to earn a certificate of completion in the next lesson after answering a few quick questions.

Bắt đầu với AI Fluency

Bạn đã hoàn thành bài học cuối cùng. Vậy, hãy nói về những gì sẽ xảy ra tiếp theo: các bước thực tế bạn có thể thực hiện bắt đầu từ hôm nay để đưa AI fluency vào hoạt động trong tổ chức của mình.

Bài tập cuối cùng của bạn

Ngay bây giờ, bạn có công việc thực tế đang chờ đợi. Có thể đó là một grant application đến hạn vào tuần tới. Có thể đó là một donor report bạn đã trì hoãn. Có thể đó là ba tháng program data nằm trong một spreadsheet mà bạn chưa có thời gian để analyze. Đây là final assignment của bạn. Hãy chọn một trong những nhiệm vụ đó, chỉ một thôi, và sử dụng những gì bạn đã học trong khóa học này để giải quyết nó với sự hỗ trợ của AI trong tuần này.

Các bước thực tế để áp dụng AI

1. Delegation (Ủy quyền)

Hãy bắt đầu với delegation. Trước khi bạn mở máy tính, hãy nghĩ về nhiệm vụ trước mắt. Những phần nào sẽ hưởng lợi từ sự hỗ trợ của AI? Những phần nào cần bạn, human judgment của bạn, relationships của bạn, deep knowledge của bạn về community của bạn?

2. Privacy and Security (Quyền riêng tư và Bảo mật)

Từ đó, hãy evaluate các yêu cầu về privacy và security của nhiệm vụ đó và chọn một AI accordingly.

3. Description (Mô tả)

Khi bạn đã có một bức tranh rõ ràng về nhiệm vụ và platform, hãy sử dụng description để communicate với AI. Chia sẻ product details. Kể cho nó nghe về organization của bạn, mission của bạn, những người bạn serve, và điều gì làm cho work của bạn distinct. Kể cho nó cách go about your task, và cách act during that interaction. Đó là process và performance description đang hoạt động. Và hãy nhớ rằng đây là một loop. Describe những gì bạn cần, get a response và sau đó evaluate nó và describe again với more clarity based on what you learned.

4. Outcomes and Diligence (Kết quả và Sự cẩn trọng)

Cuối cùng, có các outcomes. Trước khi bạn use or share anything created with AI, apply diligence để take responsibility for your work. Nếu bạn đang sharing writing, make sure you feel it truly represents your organization. Be transparent where it matters. If your use of AI would change someone's perspective on the final product, they might need to know. At the end of the day, you need to vouch for the work you do. You're not just using AI, you're taking ownership of what it helps you produce.

Sự tương tác của các năng lực

Bốn competencies này work together every time you use AI. Remember that they're dynamic. You might flow from delegation to description back to discernment and realize you actually want to delegate things differently. That's your AI fluency growing through practice.

Thực hành và Tài nguyên

Và speaking of practice, bạn có thể head over here để check out use cases created by the Anthropic team covering different types of nonprofit work, including some that we walked through in this course. Use these as guides to support your initial interactions with AI and reflect on your experience to inform future interactions. As you start to experiment with AI, remember that you have access to the 4D framework guide, these use cases, a key terminology cheat sheet, and more.

Hoàn thành khóa học

Trong bài học tiếp theo, bạn có thể take a short quiz để earn your certificate of completion, mà bạn có thể share with your peers để kick off a conversation about what AI fluency might look like in your organization. Và lastly, if you haven't already taken it, Anthropic's AI fluency framework and foundations course will provide you with a lot more clarity on the 4D framework. Vậy, congratulations on completing the course. Chúng tôi hope it helps you keep supporting your community in ways that feel totally you.
