## Guides

- [What Microsoft 365 Copilot is, and what it is not](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/what-microsoft-365-copilot-is): Separate the licensed Microsoft 365 experience from generic AI expectations before choosing a pilot.
- [Verify nonprofit eligibility and licensing before a pilot](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/verify-nonprofit-eligibility-and-licensing): Confirm tenant eligibility, prerequisite licenses, current pricing, and the people who actually need access.
- [Review permissions before Copilot can surface them](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/review-permissions-before-copilot): Use the pilot as a reason to find oversharing, stale access, and unclear content ownership.
- [Write a one-page approved-use policy](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/write-an-approved-use-policy): Give staff clear green, yellow, and red boundaries tied to your actual data and decisions.
- [Choose a small Copilot pilot that can teach you something](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/choose-a-small-copilot-pilot): Select one repeatable, reviewable workflow with enough volume to measure and limited downside if a draft is wrong.
- [Write a grounded prompt people can reuse](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/write-a-grounded-prompt): Describe the task, source, audience, constraints, output, and review instead of asking Copilot to guess.
- [Review Copilot output before it becomes organizational work](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/review-copilot-output): Use a short verification routine for facts, numbers, sources, confidentiality, voice, and downstream impact.
- [Use Copilot in Word for a bounded first draft](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/copilot-in-word-first-drafts): Build a draft from approved source material, then check structure, claims, voice, and omissions.
- [Use Copilot in Outlook without automating judgment](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/copilot-in-outlook-email-work): Draft or summarize routine email while keeping sensitive, relational, and consequential messages human-led.
- [Use Copilot around Teams meetings with a clear record rule](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/copilot-for-teams-meetings): Prepare questions and draft follow-up while defining consent, transcription, access, correction, and retention first.
- [Use Copilot for a PowerPoint program update](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/copilot-for-powerpoint-updates): Turn approved material into a first-pass narrative, then rebuild the evidence, accessibility, and audience fit.
- [Use Copilot with Excel as an analysis assistant, not the final analyst](https://nonprofitaiconsulting.com/guides/copilot-for-excel-questions): Ask bounded questions about a clean table and verify formulas, filters, definitions, and conclusions.
