  • Lessons in AI for Nonprofit Leaders

    From funding pressures and workforce challenges to evolving regulations and increasing demand for services, nonprofit organizations are leaning on technology to streamline efficiencies and free up resources. Yet, many organizations are just in the early infancies of AI adoption and are now starting to understand the tool.

    GHJ Nonprofit Practice Leader Donella Wilson speaks with Stephen De La Rosa, the assistant vice president, FP&A and controller of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, and GHJ Data Analytics Services Expert Colin Nierenberg to share lessons learned in AI for nonprofit organizations.

    Stephen and Colin examine practical guidance for getting started with AI, how to use it responsibly and the ways other nonprofits have successfully leveraged the technology. Prior to this episode, Stephen was a guest on an earlier recording in which he discussed automating financial operations within the museum sector.
