AI Without the Anxiety: Practical Ways Nonprofits Can Get Started

What To Expect

Back by popular demand, here's your chance to recap the AFP Webinar with Shruti Ramaswami on how nonprofits can use AI!

For many fundraisers, artificial intelligence can feel overwhelming. There is growing pressure to “use AI,” but far less clarity about what that actually means, where to begin, or how to ensure technology doesn’t come at the cost of authentic donor relationships. 

Recap this timely webinar with Shruti Ramaswami—EVP of Strategy & Strategic Relationships at TechSoup—as she offers an introduction to how AI is already showing up in the nonprofit sector. This session will highlight simple, practical ways organizations are using AI today to save time, reduce administrative burden, and support more meaningful donor engagement. 

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Develop an understanding of how AI can be used in a fundraising context.
  • Provide an overview of tools and solutions available to organizations, and how to think about what to pay for.
  • Identify practical ways AI can support fundraising work today.
