Beyond the Buzzwords: Practical AI for Donor Relations
As donor expectations evolve and teams face increasing demands with limited resources, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer powerful solutions to modernize and scale stewardship efforts. This session will explore how our team integrates AI-driven tools to streamline internal workflows, personalize donor engagement at scale, and enhance the impact of our donor relations strategies. We’ll share real-world applications of AI in our day-to-day operations—from automating routine tasks to generating tailored donor communications—and discuss how these technologies are reshaping the donor experience. The session will be interactive, inviting attendees to brainstorm and collaborate on creative ways to apply AI and ML in their own work, regardless of budget or technical expertise. Attendees will leave with practical ideas, inspiration, and a clearer understanding of how to begin or expand their use of AI in donor relations.
