Can AI help nonprofits fundraise?
Doors open at 6 p.m.; programming starts at 6:30 p.m.
Giving season means a lot of work for nonprofit teams: writing appeals, reaching donors, processing gifts, and keeping track of it all. Where can AI help—and how do you use it without losing the personal connection that makes people want to give?
Join Aboard for a conversation with Allison Fine of Every.org, Dr. John Brothers of Candid, and Jeffrey Klein of The Center about practical ways nonprofits can put AI to work during their busiest fundraising season. We’ll discuss where to start, what deserves a human’s attention, and how to tell whether a new tool is actually helping. Along the way, we’ll consider donor privacy, staff capacity, and how time saved on administrative work could become time spent building relationships.
Aboard’s head of product, Chris Sassine, will introduce the discussion, which will be followed by an audience Q&A. Afterward, stay for food, drinks, and conversation with the speakers and fellow attendees.
