Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors. For community foundations, AI can be a powerful tool to improve efficiency, strengthen engagement, and enhance decision-making. At the same time, it’s essential to be mindful of ethical considerations, privacy, and security.

This session, led by community foundations who are using AI in their work, will highlight practical use cases of AI and share real-world experiences of integrating AI into the work of a community foundation.

In this session, you will:

• Learn from a peer CF about their early adoption journey, what worked, what didn’t, and lessons learned.
• Explore practical ways AI can support CF operations
• Identify risks, limitations, and considerations for ethical and secure use of AI tools.
• Share your own experiences of utilizing AI and ask questions to other community foundations.
