New Possibilities

The class broke down the basics and use cases in such a quick and digestible way, I couldn't believe all the new possibilities I was attuned to so quickly. I'm itching to see what I could explore next to make myself and my team more efficient and to help us meet our mission... in an environment where there is NEVER enough time or money.

Engaging, Interesting, Relevant

As a new technology it's easy to have concerns, questions, interests, and doubts -- and Ascend Impact Advisors addressed them well. They introduced us to the field of prompt engineering and made the topic engaging, interesting, and relevant to our current questions. Incredible job with a cohesive workshop -- I highly recommend.

~Serena, Manager, Community Engagement

Tangible and Empowering

What a tangible, productive, and educational session. The training demystified an intimidating topic and equipped participants with specific tools to use well into the future. Activities and real time exercises pushed the comprehension of the content, driving learning and empowerment.

About Us

We understand the challenges faced by social impact leaders because we’ve lived them. From cost and capacity constraints, to risk aversion, to resisting change, to aligning multiple departments, to building trust between organizations across a national or global network — we’ve been there. And we know first-hand how hard it can be to get the most from technology investments, despite the best of intentions and a compelling vision. That’s why we do this work. To be the partner working along side you, helping you manage through the chaos, to achieve more and inspire others to see the possibilities that you see. We’re on a mission to help social impact leaders harness AI responsibly and strategically.
