Why a toolkit matters

The most effective way to use AI is to have a set of tested, personalised prompts ready to go — so when you need to write a letter, create a caption, or plan an event, you are not starting from scratch.

In this lesson, you will build your own toolkit by customising the prompts from this course with your specific details. Save them in a document or notes app so they are always ready.

📝
Your toolkit — six essential prompts

Here are the six prompts to save in your toolkit. Fill in the details in square brackets with your own information:

1
Sponsorship letter: "Write a sponsorship letter from [your name], aged [age], from [town], raising [target] for [expedition]. Asking for [specific ask]. Formal but warm, one page, clear call to action."
2
Instagram caption: "Write an Instagram caption for [describe the post — e.g. hitting a fundraising milestone, promoting an event, sharing a destination fact]. Audience: teens and adults who follow me. Under 150 words. Include a call to action."
3
Event checklist: "Create a planning checklist for [type of event] to raise money for [expedition]. Include a timeline, what to bring, and tips for maximising income."
4
Thank-you message: "Write a thank-you [post/email/message] to [donors/a business sponsor/my supporters] for [what they did]. Genuine, warm, and specific."
5
