Description

AI doesn’t have to be overwhelming, expensive, or intimidating. In fact, nonprofits of all sizes and roles can benefit from using AI thoughtfully, ethically, and in ways that support their mission and day-to-day work.

Participants will:

• Identify the Right Places to Use AI
Discover opportunities to “do more with less,” including grant writing, donor communication, reporting, admin tasks, social media, and program support.

• Clarify What Should Be Automated vs. Human-Led
Use a simple framework to determine what tasks AI can handle, where it should assist, and what work remains fully human.

• Build Guardrails for Responsible AI Use
Learn nonprofit-friendly safeguards to protect data, reduce risk, and support trust — then draft practical guidelines you can apply right away.

• Set Up a Sustainable Learning Loop
Create an easy process for asking questions, sharing wins, and updating workflows as AI tools continue to evolve.

Join Beth Ridley as she breaks down how AI can become a practical, ethical, and accessible tool for nonprofits of all sizes. In this session, Beth will help teams build clarity and confidence around where AI truly adds value. You’ll explore best practices, see real use cases, and work in small groups to apply ideas directly to your workflows so staff at every level feel equipped to evolve with AI — together, with confidence.
