AI for Fundraising: Real ROI for Nonprofits
AI can help nonprofits do more with less—but only if it’s applied in ways that actually improve fundraising outcomes.
AI in Fundraising is a practical, executive-level workshop co-hosted by Mission Engine AI and Chipp.ai, designed for nonprofit leaders, development teams, and fundraisers who want to see how AI is being used today to drive measurable fundraising results. The session moves beyond theory and hype, focusing on real-world use cases and validated ROI examples that show where AI is saving time, improving effectiveness, and increasing fundraising impact—while keeping relationships and trust at the center.
Participants will explore how organizations are applying AI across the full fundraising lifecycle, including grant discovery and writing, marketing and campaign execution, event planning and follow-up, and donor engagement and stewardship. The workshop highlights concrete examples of how AI is helping teams streamline research, personalize outreach at scale, optimize campaigns, and gain better donor insights—paired with clear outcomes and performance improvements.
This is an executive-level, practical session designed for leaders and fundraising teams who want clear next steps, not theory.
