s9e9 Using AI to Strengthen (Not Replace) Fundraising Relationships with Katie Gaston

Описание: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but what does it actually look like to use AI well in the nonprofit sector?

In this episode of Nonprofit Nerd®: Impact Unleashed, host Jarrett Ransom is joined by Katie Gaston of Boomerang for a grounded, practical conversation about AI in fundraising. Together, they cut through the noise to explore how AI can support fundraisers as a strategic partner, without replacing human judgment, relationships, or trust.

Katie shares how nonprofits can start small with AI by focusing on real pain points, why donor relationships must always remain human-led, and what leaders should look for when evaluating AI tools for security, ethics, and fundraising relevance. If AI feels exciting, overwhelming, or somewhere in between, this episode offers a thoughtful, nonprofit-centered place to begin.
