3 Ways AI Can Instantly Upgrade Your Nonprofit Graphics

Be honest—how many times have you stared at a blank Canva template, endlessly dragging a logo around, testing out three fonts, and still thinking, “Why does this look like a school project?” If design tasks eat up your time and confidence, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of The Million Dollar Nonprofit, host Tom Kelly hands you the shortcut every small nonprofit needs: a design system powered by AI that’s fast, simple, and seriously effective—even if you have zero design experience.

Tom breaks down his 3-Part AI Design Stack that’s helping nonprofit teams create scroll-stopping, on-brand graphics in minutes:

• Tool #1: ChatGPT for Copywriting – Use prompts that give you ready-to-drop-in headlines, captions, and calls-to-action for auction graphics, thank-you posts, and more. No more blank screens or weak messaging.
• Tool #2: Canva’s Magic Design (and tools like Kittl & Designs.ai) – Learn how to feed your copy into these AI tools and instantly generate flyers, logos, social media slides, and even animated posts. No design team required.
• Tool #3: AI-Powered Brand Kits – Discover how to set up your brand colors, fonts, and logos once and have them auto-applied to every design—keeping your visuals polished and professional.

You’ll also hear a real-world example of how a small arts nonprofit used this exact process to promote a last-minute pop-up event and sold out in two days—all without a designer or marketing team.

If your team ever says, “We just don’t have time to make it look good,” this episode will prove that with the right tools (and the right prompts), you absolutely can—and in way less time than you think.

• 3 action steps to implement today
