AI FUNDAMENTALS
For fundraisers & nonprofits
Ready to take your first steps into the world of AI for fundraising and social impact? This masterclass will take you from feeling overwhelmed to knowing where to start, how to get going, and how to use AI tools efficiently to increase your impact.
Artificial intelligence isn’t going away, and it’s not something our sector can afford to ignore! That’s why we’ve enlisted the help of AI thought-leader and strategist Kaz McGrath to deliver an interactive masterclass introducing the key concepts, practical applications, and ethical considerations specific to our sector.
Why this masterclass?
This session is for you if you are:
- Watching others use AI and feeling left behind
- Wondering if you’re missing opportunities but don’t know what to do
- Worried about using AI responsibly in your nonprofit or concerned about potential risks
- Looking for a clear path forward without being overwhelmed
- Or wanting results and to learn how AI can really work for you
Think of this as your AI orientation – the foundation you need before diving deeper. The masterclass will focus on the things matters most for you and your work:
- What are the most important things to know about AI? Who AI can be used to support nonprofits and fundraisers; key concepts and models you need to understand; what’s relevant for you and your team (and what hype you ignore).
- How are others using AI for impact? Get inspired and explore case studies to understand exactly how AI is already driving value across our sector, what tools people are using, and how they’re using them.
- What AI tools should you be using and where do you start? Discover the simplest and most powerful tools for individuals and teams. Learn how to prioritise and make decisions about which tools to use. Understand what drives success when it comes to adopting AI tools.
- Navigating concerns and risks: Learn how to move forward confidently, so you can use AI responsibly while protecting your organisation’s values and navigating potential risks.
- Getting started: You’ll leave the masterclass with a clear roadmap for taking your next steps. You’ll know what to do next to start building AI into your everyday work.
The session will be delivered & facilitated by Kaz McGrath, CEO and Founder at PLAI (Purpose Led AI) and a leading expert on AI for nonprofits & fundraisers. Kaz uses her knowledge of AI, strategy, leadership, and change management to ignite deep cultural change in organisations and inspire personal growth to drive impact at every level of an organisation.
