Fundraising is Human Work

Your team is stretched. The campaigns are more complex. The tools keep multiplying.

Somewhere in all of it, the actual human work of fundraising is getting pushed out. You know AI can help — but the wrong AI implementation puts your donor relationships at risk.

This workshop is built for fundraising leaders who are ready to move past the hype of AI and make smart, deliberate decisions about where AI fits — and where it doesn’t.

We’ll work through why fundraising teams are losing capacity to complexity, what a human-centered AI strategy actually looks like in practice, and how to identify the right opportunities without disrupting what’s working.

What you’ll walk away with:

• A clear picture of where AI is actually moving the needle in fundraising right now
• A practical framework for auditing where your team should spends its time
• A repeatable model for deciding what to hand off to AI and what to protect as human work
• Concrete ways to use AI to deepen donor relationships — not automate around them

This session is hands-on and discussion-based — expect to think out loud, share what’s working, and leave with more than just slides.
