🎄 Ho ho ho! Calling all AI experts who want to spread some digital cheer! Digital Candle is getting more and more charities asking questions about AI - from how to use it responsibly to whether it could help them reach more people in need. But we're a bit short on AI elves to help answer these questions 🎅 If you've got experience in AI (generate or otherwise) and can spare just one hour to have a friendly video call with a charity from time to time, we'd love to have you join our community of 700+ digital experts. You're not there to sell your services, just pass on your AI knowledge to help close the digital skills gaps lots of charities and communities face. You might just help a great cause figure out their AI journey. Already our experts have helped over 1,000 charities with their digital challenges, with an amazing satisfaction rating of 4.8/5. And our current volunteers say they get as much out of it as they give. Want to join Santa's AI helpers?

Could AI help you boost your charity income? Brilliant to see our Chief Data Scientist Gordon Walsh sharing his expertise on AI in the Charity Times this week, talking about how charities can use AI in their email marketing to treat every donor like a major donor and significantly boost their income! He has some great examples of how his work at Accessible Intelligence has helped charities achieve incredible conversion rates. Gordon says: “AI is not going anywhere – charities need to embrace it or they risk being left behind. Those that invest the time, resource and thinking into AI, whether that is using AI tools or providers that use AI, could significantly boost their income."

Fundraising isn’t merely a transactional endeavor; it’s about building relationships, establishing trust, and fostering a sense of shared purpose. ChatGPT can’t replace the power and purpose of heartfelt, personally written expressions of gratitude. https://lnkd.in/eZEJq8Qj #fundraising #nonprofit #AI #Chatgpt
