    AI tools can be a cost-effective way to improve operational efficiency, support marketing and fundraising efforts, make informed decisions, and free up time to get out of the office and engage with donors and service-users. However, it's crucial to understand both the potential benefits and ethical considerations of adopting AI in the nonprofit sector.

    This interactive session will explore how AI can help your organization and provide practical insights into managing potential risks and ensuring AI adoption aligns with your mission and values.

    Attendees will learn:

    • How nonprofits are using AI to improve donor engagement, enhance program delivery, and streamline administrative tasks – and how you can, too!
    • Responsible implementation - ethical considerations, data privacy, equity
    • How to evaluate and use AI tools that align with your mission, budget, and organizational capacity

    Speaker: Kim Snyder, RoundTable Technology

      Our members say:

      “I’m engaging my donors as I like to be engaged: thoughtfully, respectfully, a dash of humor, and building the relationship – and the gifts are coming!”

      “I am watching our board and staff move from skepticism about being able to raise money to being engaged and empowered.”

      “I was able to get approval on increasing the frequency of an event from every two years to annually, and helped increase online giving by 12% through crowdfunding for a climate change research organization.”

      “A fundraising audit prompted the creation of our first annual report…which led to three times the $$$ on our annual appeal. (And we won a design award for the report as well!)” 

      Our members say:

      The Association of Development Officers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
