AI is definitely a huge part of healthcare now, and will likely be bigger. Nonprofits working in global health / humanitarian health are utilizing AI to save more lives. Read Kevin Barenblat's take on what amazing APNs (AI powered nonprofits) are doing! Fast Forward

During last week's Association for Healthcare Philanthropy International Conference, the keynote by Zack Kass was entitled "Leveraging AI for Good - The Next Renaissance." In the nonprofit sector, we have the opportunity to ensure that AI is being leveraged for good and to solve BIG problems. As I spoke to conference participants, many folks are grappling with questions such as -How to use AI responsibly? -Which tools to use and when? -What are the ethical considerations, especially for nonprofits? -And much, much more! I'm excited to host a Live Conversation with Gayle Roberts, CFRM 🏳️🌈 on Monday, 11/18 at 12:30 pm Pacific | 1:30 pm Mountain | 2:30 pm Central | 3:30 pm Eastern on "Tips & Tricks for Leveling Up Your Nonprofit with AI." Tune in to my 30-min Live conversation with Gayle and learn practical tips and tricks to harness the power of AI to automate tasks, enhance fundraising, and improve outcomes.

🩺 Insights on AI in Healthcare Philanthropy 🩺 As someone rooted in healthcare, I found Cherian Koshy and Nathan Chappell, MBA, MNA, CFRE’s latest report on AI’s role in healthcare philanthropy compelling. It’s a look into what donors value most in an increasingly tech-driven field: transparency, trust, and purpose-driven impact. Some highlights: 1️⃣ Clarity on AI Use: Donors want more than tech jargon—they want a clear, purpose-filled conversation on how AI is serving healthcare missions. 2️⃣ Aligned Efficiency: AI has to do more than save time; it needs to amplify values and serve the heart of healthcare philanthropy. 3️⃣ Genuine Connection: Even as technology expands, the value of real, empathetic interactions remains irreplaceable. For healthcare and nonprofit professionals, these findings reinforce the importance of using AI thoughtfully to foster trust and transparency.

Over the next few weeks, we will be highlighting various insights from our AI in Small-to-Midsize Philanthropy report. Today, we will be highlighting a key takeaway around grantmakers openness to AI tools. 💡 The report found that grantmakers are much more likely to be open to the use of AI to help grantee organization versus AI to help internal grantmaking work. For example, while most grantmakers (80.6%) would not use AI to generate a grant summary from an application, more than half (69.4%) would accept the use of AI to assist grant writing for grantee applications (see graphics below). This general openness towards the use of AI to help grantee organizations indicates that grantee partners may have a large influence on AI adoption and policies in the philanthropic sector.

For global health advocates, leveraging AI means keeping “humanitarians in the loop” to scale what works. So argues a thoughtful piece in Stanford Social Innovation Review exploring how nonprofits can harness AI to improve healthcare equity by scaffolding hard-won human expertise. “NonproIts should focus on AI-assisted technology to enhance human efforts rather than replace humans entirely...using AI to enhance the proven impact models and theories of change," the authors conclude. Service organizations bring intuition around unmet needs and promising demonstration projects. AI can help scale what works in ways that might otherwise prove impossible. The authors spotlight two compelling examples: → Jacaranda Health’s PROMPTS platform automates a formerly human-run SMS program to fight maternal mortality, leveraging 1.3 million questions to serve 2.9 million women at a cost of just $0.74 per mother. → Reboot Rx seeks to repurpose low-cost medications by scanning voluminous biomedical research to identify and rank promising treatments that might be developed at a fraction of the traditional cost. By embedding human-in-the-loop artificial intelligence into time-tested program delivery, these organizations seek to offer new hope for people who might otherwise be difficult to serve. More than that, this approach shows how the benefits of AI can be extended to solve some of the most vexing human problems. I'm inspired.

New research reveals critical insights for donors interested in AI adoption in the nonprofit sector. The AI Equity Project 2024 report, by Meenakshi (Meena) Das and Michelle Flores Vryn, CFRE, found that while 82% of nonprofits use AI, implementation remains largely ad hoc. This presents an opportunity for strategic donor investment. Key areas where donor support can drive transformative change: ⚡ Funding AI and data equity training programs ⚡ Incentivizing responsible AI practices ⚡ Advocating for robust AI governance policies ⚡ Supporting innovative research in AI equity Read this article to explore how donors can play a pivotal role in empowering nonprofits to harness AI effectively, ethically, and equitably. https://lnkd.in/gtd9q8th Giving Compass is a proud sponsor of this research. #AINonprofits #StrategicPhilanthropy #AIEquity #SocialImpact

While AI can be a powerful tool, it is especially important we as users and evaluators of AI continuously learn about ethics and equity when using the platform and how it can easily exacerbate existing inequalities and lead to harmful outcomes (especially in patient care). Kudos to these non-profits for considering these factors! 🎉
