  • AI – Overcoming Fear with Curiosity

    May 14, 08:30 AM - 10:30 AM (ET)

    What are your feelings about Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Join us as we welcome Tim Compton, Executive Director of Historic Yellow Springs, to share with us his expertise with AI in the non-profit sector.  We will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the nonprofit and fundraising world, and how to approach it with curiosity instead of fear. Through discussions, video insights, and ethical considerations, participants will learn how AI can help with donor engagement, streamline fundraising efforts, and improve efficiency. By the end, participants will understand AI’s potential in fundraising and how to use it responsibly. The goal is to help fundraisers embrace AI as a tool to boost their work, with confidence and curiosity.  Light breakfast and coffee will be provided.
