Unlocking the Power of AI in Donor Relations and Fundraising

Join this dynamic panel session to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming donor relations and fundraising strategy.

Learning Objectives

  1. Understand how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance donor segmentation and engagement strategies to improve relationship management and fundraising outcomes.
  2. Identify ethical considerations and best practices when leveraging AI tools in donor communications, including data privacy, consent, and transparency.
