🎙️ New Podcast Episode: How AI Is Transforming the Not-for-Profit Sector : Our guest, Susan Sumogyi, CEO, Family Services Ontario talks about how Artificial Intelligence is transforming the not-for-profit (NFP) sector.

AI is no longer a futuristic concept — it's actively reshaping the not-for-profit space in real time. From personalized donor engagement to smarter campaign planning, artificial intelligence is helping mission-driven organizations work faster, smarter, and with more heart.
