About Google AI for Nonprofits Courses+

Google for Nonprofits links to a free AI for Nonprofits learning path on Google Skills. It has three short courses: Daily Wins with AI for Nonprofits (about 1.5 hours), Optimize Creativity and Fundraising with AI, and Build Smarter Workflows with AI. Together they take about three hours and use Gemini examples. Separately, Google.org runs a Generative AI Accelerator for selected organisations, which is a grant programme and not general training.

Pricing: The three courses are free on Google Skills. The Google.org Generative AI Accelerator is a competitive grant programme with funding, pro bono help and training for selected organisations, not a general course.
