FREE WEBINAR: 2025 is fast approaching, and with it, a question for all of us in the charity sector: how will we embrace Generative AI in ways that truly resonate with our supporters? Sorry that we've been a little quiet on the webinar front, but we've been deep in exploring Gen-AI and I’m thrilled to invite you to an exclusive webinar where we’ll unpack findings from our latest research on Australian supporters’ expectations of AI-driven charity engagement. This isn’t just about adopting AI—it’s about using it to enhance connections, build trust, and, importantly, drive efficiency within your organisation before taking it public. Here’s the catch: attendance is limited to those who have completed our State of AI in Charities survey. If you haven’t yet, there’s still time to add your voice: https://lnkd.in/gzmweH49 🔍 Sneak peek: privacy and transparency are top of mind for supporters. We’ll also explore where the sector stands on AI adoption and, more importantly, how your charity can be ready to use AI internally for streamlined operations and externally to meet supporter needs. 🗓️ November 28th, 11am | https://lnkd.in/g5rueZ9 Now is the time to make a greater impact than ever before - using AI for Good! #SupporterFirst #NonProfitGrowth #AIForGood

Understanding #AI and Its Impact on Nonprofit Fundraising 🧠💡 As the Executive Director of the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara, I recently had the privilege of attending a thought-provoking webinar hosted by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP Global) on the topic of AI skills for fundraising. The insights gained during this session were invaluable, especially as we explore innovative ways to engage #donors and maximize contributions. 🔍 Unlocking AI’s Potential: Microsoft 365’s Copilot App During this webinar, we explored the potential of AI, specifically Microsoft 365’s Copilot app, to revolutionize #fundraising efforts. Here are some key takeaways: Personalized Outreach: AI allows us to analyze donor data and tailor our outreach. By understanding individual preferences and interests, we can create more meaningful connections. Predictive Insights: AI empowers us to analyze and anticipate donor behavior, enabling strategic planning and resource allocation. Discovering New Donors: Identifying potential supporters is essential. AI algorithms can sift through vast datasets, highlighting individuals who align with our mission. 🤔 Ethical Considerations While AI holds immense promise, we must proceed thoughtfully. During the webinar, we discussed ethical considerations. Responsible AI use ensures that technology enhances—not replaces—human relationships. 🚀 Our Commitment The Cancer Foundation remains dedicated to leveraging cutting-edge tools like AI to advance our mission. Together, we’ll continue to ensure superior cancer care for all residents of #SantaBarbaraCounty. #AIforGood #NonprofitFundraising #CancerFoundation
