Strategic AI for Nonprofit Leaders

Description

AI is already inside your organization. It’s showing up unevenly, often without shared language, visibility, or alignment.

This session isn't about tools. It’s about fixing the decision layer that comes first.
Most nonprofits are repeating the same pattern we saw with digital: buying the tech, underestimating human needs, burning out the team, and then blaming the tech. AI accelerates that cycle.

You’ll learn how to move from scattered, individual use to a more coordinated, human-led approach grounded in your mission, values, and your team’s real capacity.

We’ll focus on:

• How to see where AI is already showing up across your organization, including shadow use

• How to build shared language so your team is actually talking about the same thing

• How to make better, faster decisions about where AI fits, and where it doesn’t

• How to start small, safe pilots that build confidence and reduce risk

You’ll leave with a simple decision-making approach you can use right away to move from scattered experimentation to strategic, coordinated use.

What attendees will learn:

• How to identify where your organization sits today, from scattered to more strategic use

• A simple decision framework to evaluate AI use against mission, values, and risk

• How to reduce friction, duplication, and hidden risk across teams

• What to do in the next 90 days to move forward with clarity
