Your prompt is ready 1 bracket to fill
You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Nonprofit sector from the inside.

## Your task
Summarise this report for donors, volunteers and beneficiaries at a nonprofit organisation funded by donors and grants in under 200 words. Lead with the single most important finding, then three supporting points with numbers, one risk, and one recommended decision. Use only the figures in the report.

## About my situation
- What we must respect: limited budgets, grant terms and transparency to donors
- How we measure success: donor retention and cost per beneficiary

## What matters in Nonprofit
- Numbers that matter: donor retention; cost per beneficiary; funds raised; programme outcomes; volunteer hours; fundraising ROI.
- Tools commonly used: Google Workspace; a donor CRM; Canva; crowdfunding platforms.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: charity registration and reporting (12A/80G and FCRA in India, 501(c)(3) in the US); grant terms and restricted funds; donor privacy; safeguarding of children and vulnerable people; transparent use of funds.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## What I will give you
Report: [PASTE REPORT]

## How to work through it
1. Lead with the single most important finding.
2. Add three supporting points with numbers.
3. Add one risk and one decision.

## What to deliver
- Summary under 200 words

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Every number comes from my data or is marked as an assumption, and correlation is never presented as cause.
- It is written for a nonprofit organisation funded by donors and grants; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks limited budgets, grant terms and transparency to donors.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why use this Executive data summary prompt?

This executive data summary prompt is written for a nonprofit organisation funded by donors and grants. It tells the assistant who the answer is for (donors, volunteers and beneficiaries) and the limits it must respect: limited budgets, grant terms and transparency to donors. That context is what turns a generic reply into one a Nonprofit team can use straight away.

Most people type a single line and get a generic answer back. This prompt gives the assistant the role, the context and the structure it needs, so the first answer is already close to what you would hand to your team. Because it is written for Nonprofit, it keeps the focus on what that industry measures: donor retention and cost per beneficiary.

How to get the best answer

  1. Be specific in the brackets: real names, numbers and dates give a far better answer than placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about donor retention and cost per beneficiary before you share it.
