Did you know?

78^% of nonprofit professionals want to use AI, but only 21^% fully trust it to deliver accurate results.

Question 1: Mission Alignment

What role should AI play in your work?

We don't think it fits our values or approach. We're not sure, but could see it helping with admin. It might help with communication, data accessibility, or stewardship. We see it as a key to unlocking scale and donor growth.

Question 2: Trail Pressure

How would you describe your team's current workload?

We're overwhelmed and reactive. We're busy, but holding on. We've started streamlining some repetitive tasks. We actively use automation to reduce strain.

Did you know?

53^% of nonprofit professionals say lack of time and capacity is the biggest barrier to AI adoption.

Question 3: Gear Check

How connected are your tech systems for managing donor data?

We rely on spreadsheets and manual uploads. We use a CRM tool, but it's not optimized. We've started centralizing data and tools. Our data systems are clean, connected, and ready for lift-off.

Question 4: Leadership Support

How does your leadership team respond to new tech ideas?

They're skeptical or risk-averse. Open but cautious — "show me it works." Supportive when aligned to impact. Actively lead the charge toward innovation.

Question 5: Team Readiness

How prepared is your team to explore new AI tools?

We don't have time, training, or support. We're open to it, but need guidance. Some of us are testing AI inside workflows. Our team is curious, capable, and collaborative.

Did you know?

51^% of nonprofits want to use AI to automate tasks like donor segmentation and reporting.

Question 6: Real-World Usage

How are you using AI for donor outreach or fundraising campaigns?

We haven't used AI at all. We've tried things like ChatGPT for email content or fundraising reports. We use it for donor targeting or messaging support. AI is built into our regular workflows.

Question 7: Ethics & Responsibility

How concerned are you about using AI ethically and responsibly?

We're deeply concerned and mostly avoiding AI. We have concerns, but no clear policies yet. We discuss AI ethics and use internal guidance. We've vetted our tools and feel secure in our use.

Question 8: The Summit Vision

One year from now, what would you like to say about your use of AI?

We didn't use it — and that felt right for us. We tested it and are cautiously exploring. We implemented tools that saved time and sharpened outreach. We used AI to grow giving, segment smarter, and move faster.
