Summit to Explore Responsible AI Use in Nonprofit Fundraising

The Intersection of AI and Ethics in Fundraising: As more nonprofits turn to AI, the need for responsible practices has never been greater. This summit will address the ethical considerations that come with using AI in fundraising, from privacy to transparency, ensuring technology enhances—rather than compromises—donor relationships.

Building Donor Trust in an AI-Driven Era: AI holds immense potential to elevate fundraising, but donor trust must remain a priority. Summit sessions will focus on how to use AI for personalization and efficiency while safeguarding donor privacy and building long-term trust. Leaders in the field will discuss frameworks for aligning AI use with the nonprofit sector’s values.

Real-World AI Success Stories and Lessons Learned: Nonprofits already using AI will share case studies on ethical and effective AI practices, offering insights on what works and potential pitfalls. Through these stories, attendees can learn practical strategies for implementing AI that honor donors’ privacy and respect the values of nonprofit work.

Tackling Bias and Ensuring Fairness in AI: AI systems can unintentionally amplify biases, and for nonprofits, this is a significant ethical challenge. The summit will feature discussions on minimizing AI bias, using diverse datasets, and applying AI to meet a broad spectrum of donor needs fairly and inclusively.

Interactive Workshops on AI-Driven Fundraising: Participants can engage in workshops to understand the latest AI tools and techniques for fundraising. Experts will guide attendees in hands-on exercises on how to use AI effectively—such as predictive analytics and personalized outreach—while adhering to ethical principles.

Empowering Nonprofits with a Responsible AI Framework: By the end of the summit, attendees will have a toolkit for navigating AI responsibly. This toolkit includes best practices, policy recommendations, and a commitment to ethical standards that align AI’s power with the nonprofit mission to serve communities with integrity.
