Can AI really enhance human connection in fundraising, or is it just a high-tech distraction? Let's tackle this question head-on, revealing how AI can be a transformative force in the nonprofit sector. This episode isn't about replacing the personal touch — it's about using AI to deepen it. As I prepare for my upcoming session at the AFP Icon conference in Seattle, I'll guide you through the ethical integration of AI, showing how it can streamline repetitive tasks and allow us to focus on what truly matters: building genuine relationships and crafting compelling stories that resonate with donors. 

This isn't just tech-talk; it's a hands-on challenge to experiment with AI. Whether you're drafting emails or summarizing reports, I encourage you to explore its potential in your fundraising efforts. And remember, it's not about being perfect — it's about understanding and leveraging AI as a strategic assistant. Together, we'll discuss how AI aligns with organizational values and enhances our capacity to make meaningful impacts. With curiosity and strategic intent, let's embrace AI and transform the way we connect with our communities, making our work smarter and more human than ever before.
