Embracing Innovation: Artificial Intelligence, Fundraising and Philanthropy
Episode Summary
Have You Ever Used Artificial Intelligence to Save Time on Writing a Grant Proposal?
No? We haven’t either, but many in the nonprofit sector are doing or considering doing just that, in addition to other methods of incorporating AI into their fundraising strategies. It’s a new year, and with it comes an increased role of innovation in the nonprofit sector. When it comes to artificial intelligence, some are comfortable and others not quite so. But how can we get to the “heart” of this tool in order to use it to maximize our fundraising and philanthropy efforts?
Join us for the first episode of the year, featuring our special guest, Mallory Erickson. Mallory is an executive coach, fundraising consultant, and host of the podcast, What the Fundraising. She also has her pulse on innovation and the nonprofit sector, particularly in the area of AI. You don’t want to miss this conversation on how you might consider embracing AI as a viable method for achieving your fundraising goals in the new year!
