What we help you with

01

Grants & applications

We find out which grants your organisation qualifies for and help with the entire application process — Microsoft, Google, Salesforce and more.

02

Setup & migration

Transition from existing systems to new platforms. Email, files, users — we handle everything.

03

Collaboration & communication

Structure Teams, Slack or Google Workspace for employees, volunteers and board members.

04

Security & GDPR

05

06

Take advantage of Google Ad Grants ($120,000/year), social media tools from Canva and analytics with Power BI.

AI for Non-Profits

AI agents for your organisation

Build intelligent assistants that answer questions, handle enquiries and automate work — without coding.

What is an AI agent?

An AI-powered assistant that holds conversations, answers from your documents, gathers information and performs actions. Think of it as a digital employee that never sleeps.

Built with Microsoft Copilot Studio, Google Gemini or Salesforce Einstein — all available free or discounted for non-profits.

Use cases

Voluntary registration

The agent talks with new volunteers, collects contact info and skills, and registers them automatically. The coordinator receives a notification.

FAQ for recipients

Automatically answer common questions about their programmes — on the web or in chat. Retrieves answers from their own documents.

Application assistance for grants

Find relevant text from previous applications, check deadlines and generate drafts based on the organisation's history.

Donor management

Automatic thank-you letters, follow-up with monthly donors and donation trend reporting via Salesforce or CRM.

How to create an agent (5 steps)

1

Select platform

Microsoft Copilot Studio, Google Gemini, or Salesforce Einstein — depending on your tech stack.

2

Describe your agent

Write what the agent should do: «Help volunteers with sign-up and answer questions about our programs.»

3

Connect knowledge sources

Add documents, web pages or databases the agent retrieves answers from.

4

Add actions

Connect to automations to send emails, create entries, or notify staff.

5

Publish

Roll out internally (Teams/Slack) or externally (website, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger).

Step by step

How to get started

From qualification to finished setup — the process is simpler than you think.

  1. 1

    Check eligibility

    Your organization must be registered as a nonprofit in the Brønnøysund Register Centre (voluntary organization, association or foundation). Not public entities or political parties.

  2. 2

    Register with TechSoup / Percent

    Create a profile with TechSoup (Frivillighet Norge) or Percent (validates for Google/Microsoft). Requires an organisation number and documentation. Takes 2–14 days.

  3. 3

    Activate grants

    Apply through Microsoft, Google, Salesforce and others. With verified status, most are approved within 1–3 days. Activate licenses and credits.

  4. 4
