Smart Strategies: Using AI to Drive Nonprofit Success

This training session, for small nonprofits, will introduce practical, free or low-cost artificial intelligence (AI) tools to boost your organization’s efficiency and impact. You’ll learn strategies for adopting AI responsibly, with guidance on minimizing risks like data privacy concerns and ethical considerations. Through hands-on practice, you’ll test the tools in a group setting, discussing successes and challenges together. There will also be dedicated project time for you and your colleagues to collaborate, ask questions and get personalized feedback while you apply AI tools directly to your organization’s unique goals.

The goals of this training are to:

• Highlight multiple AI tools that can help your organization increase efficiency and impact.
• Discuss ways to embrace AI without creating risk for your organization.
• Practice using the various AI tools as a group with time for hands-on help and group discussion about what worked and what did not.
• Provide time for you and anyone else from your organization to work on a project together using AI tools. There will be time for questions, feedback, and suggestions as you work on your own project.
