How AI is Changing the Nonprofit Model

What is it that makes AI trustworthy in practice?

Most AI conversations in our sector start with tools and prompts. This interactive session starts one level higher, exploring how AI can change the way your organisation works, decides, and stays accountable.

Drawing on Streetbeat’s experience in financial services, where being wrong has a cost, we’ll look at what makes AI trustworthy in practice, including shared definitions, authoritative data, human approval, and a system that knows when the evidence isn’t strong enough to act. Fundraising will be centred as the worked example, from spotting donors who are drifting away to checking whether a campaign really broke even, but the same model extends to grants, programmes, finance, and governance, too.

Created for fundraising directors, heads of data and CRM, and leadership teams deciding how to adopt AI responsibly, the session will set you up for success, including a practical toolkit containing the six questions to ask any AI vendor and a minimum governance checklist.

Learning outcomes

  • Recognise the difference between adding AI tools and becoming an AI-centric organisation
  • Discover what to agree before AI touches your donor data, including definitions, sources, and approvals
  • Learn how to measure real returns in time, money, income, and risk

This session is presented in partnership with Streetbeat.
