Why AI is especially important for nonprofits<\/h2>\n
While every organization, no matter its sector, has its challenges, nonprofits carry a unique burden: when they\u2019re buried in the day-to-day logistics, their ability to focus on their mission takes a backseat. And that mission is the whole point. From tracking donor engagement and identifying new prospects to drafting grant proposals and creating content, AI can take on many of the tasks that can typically drain a staff\u2019s time and capacity.<\/p>\n
What are the different types of AI?<\/h2>\n
Before diving into specific AI tools, let\u2019s break down two of the most widely used types of artificial intelligence in the nonprofit space: generative AI and predictive AI. Knowing the difference between these models will help your organization better match the right tools to the right tasks. Whether you\u2019re hoping to use AI for fundraising, to streamline internal processes, or improve donor outreach, understanding how these two types of AI work will give you the context you need to use them effectively and responsibly.<\/p>\n
Generative AI solutions for nonprofits<\/h3>\n
As the name plainly states, generative AI generates content. With the rise of chatbots like Google Gemini and ChatGPT, generative AI has been a hot topic for a while now, but how exactly does it work? In a nutshell, generative AI identifies patterns based on the massive data set it’s trained on to then create new content.<\/p>\n
If your nonprofit is looking for help with social media content, marketing emails, or grant proposals, generative AI can be a great tool. To put it simply, if content creation is a pain point for your organization, generative AI may just be your new best friend.<\/p>\n
Predictive AI tools for nonprofits<\/h3>\n
Unlike generative AI, Predictive AI is trained on more targeted information. It\u2019s all about delving into past data sets to forecast future outcomes. So, if your nonprofit needs assistance with engagement analytics or donor prospecting, predictive AI is a great asset to have in your toolbelt.<\/p>\n
While generative AI is about creating, predictive AI is about anticipating. In an ideal world, your nonprofit would utilize both models in tandem, with predictive AI helping to inform your efforts and generative AI assisting in the execution of your strategy.<\/p>\n
Now that\u2019s all well and good, but finding these nifty predictive and generative tools (especially the right ones) can be an overwhelming experience. A quick Google search will populate countless services proclaiming their artificial intelligence is the one you need in your organization, making the entire process of finding the software that\u2019s right for you incredibly tedious and time consuming. So, instead of spending countless hours scouring through different websites and giving yourself a headache, let\u2019s cut through the noise and simplify what the best AI tools for nonprofits are.<\/p>\n

How to choose the AI tool for your nonprofit<\/h2>\n
Now that we\u2019ve covered some of the best tools on the market, it\u2019s time to get really clear on the pain points your organization is facing. If you have grant proposals down to a science, you probably don\u2019t need to invest in a program like Grantable. But if your social media is all over the place (or nonexistent) it might be time to check out something like Buffer. Clarifying your pain points will be your guiding star in selecting what category of AI is for you.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve done that, now comes the fun of looking at what your organization can afford. As made clear in our list, there are plenty of free tools that are worth getting started with, especially if you\u2019re brand new to using AI. However, free tools are limited in their capabilities, and if you feel you\u2019ve reached the limit of what they can offer, it\u2019s probably time to invest.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, many of the tools listed above have special promotions for nonprofits! Here are the services that offer discounts for organizations like yours.<\/p>\n
\n- Google Gemini<\/a>
\nEligible nonprofits<\/a> can register<\/a> to test Gemini for no-cost as part of Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Google also offers discounts for more advanced AI features.<\/li>\n- Open AI Chat GPT<\/a>
\nNonprofit organizations can access ChatGPT Team at a discounted rate of 20% off monthly or annual plans, and large nonprofits can save 25% by contacting OpenAI\u2019s sales team.<\/li>\n- Buffer<\/a>
\nBuffer offers a 50% discount on all their products and plans for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Canva<\/a>
\nCanva offers nonprofits free access to all of its premium features.<\/li>\n- Jasper<\/a>
\nJasper offers a 20% discount to nonprofits after they complete their free trial.<\/li>\n- Microsoft Copilot<\/a>
\nEligible<\/a> nonprofits can receive a 15% discount on Copilot.<\/li>\n- Salesforce Einstein AI<\/a>
\nSalesforce offers a wide range of discounts and special pricing options for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Otter<\/a>
\nIn conjunction with TechSoup, Otter offers a discounted rate off their annual business plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Zapier<\/a>
\nNonprofits can receive a 15% discount on a single Zapier plan.<\/li>\n- Notion<\/a>
\nNotion offers 50% off their Plus Plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNow that you know what tool works best for your organization from both a pain point and financial perspective, it\u2019s best to narrow down your options by taking a look at what easily integrates with your existing tools. For example, if you\u2019re already using Bloomerang as your CRM, it would probably make the most sense to make use of its AI Content Assistant rather than learning an entirely new system for your fundraising needs.<\/p>\n
Finally, it\u2019s time to take your new tool for a test drive! See how it feels, take the time to learn all the bells and whistles, and then, when you\u2019re ready, scale it to your needs.<\/p>\n
How nonprofits can use AI responsibly<\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve covered a lot in this guide already, but there\u2019s one thing that we cannot forget to discuss\u2014using AI in a responsible and ethical manner. The world of artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and while all the tools we\u2019ve discussed are exciting and no doubt beneficial, AI isn\u2019t without its risks. If used improperly, AI can put your organization at risk for data breaches, legal noncompliance, and the spread of misinformation and unintentional biases.<\/p>\n
As intense as all that sounds, as long as your nonprofit takes the steps necessary to responsibly use AI, there\u2019s nothing to worry about. But, what exactly does that look like?<\/p>\n
For one, proper training is key. Before rolling out the red carpet for your new savvy tool and letting staff run loose, be sure everyone who will be using your tool of choice understands that, while AI supports tasks, it should not be used blindly. Without oversight, AI can lead to sharing incorrect or harmful messaging\u2014two things that could be detrimental to your mission. It\u2019s vital to remember that AI is not a substitute for human judgment, empathy, or context.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also important to conduct regular security checks. Without proper guardrails in place, sensitive donor information may be susceptible to cyberattacks or data breaches. This is also where it\u2019s crucial to thoroughly vet whatever vendor you choose to work with. You\u2019ll want to make sure their platforms are secure.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t forget, transparency is everything! Stakeholders should understand how you\u2019re using AI, and be sure to give donors the opportunity to consent to their data being used in an AI system. Don\u2019t shy away from informing them of how you\u2019ll keep their data private and secure.<\/p>\n
Final thoughts<\/h2>\n
While AI Tools for Nonprofits came on the scene fast, they are here to stay. Although relatively new in the grand scheme of technology, it\u2019s already become a vital tool for organizations trying to do more with less. So, whether you\u2019re looking to use AI for fundraising campaigns, improve donor engagement, automate internal processes, or finally tackle that mountain of data, there\u2019s a solution that fits both your goals and your budget. With so many options on the market today, nonprofits of all sizes can start small, scale smart, and make a real impact with the help of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

How to choose the AI tool for your nonprofit<\/h2>\n
Now that we\u2019ve covered some of the best tools on the market, it\u2019s time to get really clear on the pain points your organization is facing. If you have grant proposals down to a science, you probably don\u2019t need to invest in a program like Grantable. But if your social media is all over the place (or nonexistent) it might be time to check out something like Buffer. Clarifying your pain points will be your guiding star in selecting what category of AI is for you.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve done that, now comes the fun of looking at what your organization can afford. As made clear in our list, there are plenty of free tools that are worth getting started with, especially if you\u2019re brand new to using AI. However, free tools are limited in their capabilities, and if you feel you\u2019ve reached the limit of what they can offer, it\u2019s probably time to invest.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, many of the tools listed above have special promotions for nonprofits! Here are the services that offer discounts for organizations like yours.<\/p>\n
\n- Google Gemini<\/a>
\nEligible nonprofits<\/a> can register<\/a> to test Gemini for no-cost as part of Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Google also offers discounts for more advanced AI features.<\/li>\n- Open AI Chat GPT<\/a>
\nNonprofit organizations can access ChatGPT Team at a discounted rate of 20% off monthly or annual plans, and large nonprofits can save 25% by contacting OpenAI\u2019s sales team.<\/li>\n- Buffer<\/a>
\nBuffer offers a 50% discount on all their products and plans for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Canva<\/a>
\nCanva offers nonprofits free access to all of its premium features.<\/li>\n- Jasper<\/a>
\nJasper offers a 20% discount to nonprofits after they complete their free trial.<\/li>\n- Microsoft Copilot<\/a>
\nEligible<\/a> nonprofits can receive a 15% discount on Copilot.<\/li>\n- Salesforce Einstein AI<\/a>
\nSalesforce offers a wide range of discounts and special pricing options for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Otter<\/a>
\nIn conjunction with TechSoup, Otter offers a discounted rate off their annual business plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Zapier<\/a>
\nNonprofits can receive a 15% discount on a single Zapier plan.<\/li>\n- Notion<\/a>
\nNotion offers 50% off their Plus Plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNow that you know what tool works best for your organization from both a pain point and financial perspective, it\u2019s best to narrow down your options by taking a look at what easily integrates with your existing tools. For example, if you\u2019re already using Bloomerang as your CRM, it would probably make the most sense to make use of its AI Content Assistant rather than learning an entirely new system for your fundraising needs.<\/p>\n
Finally, it\u2019s time to take your new tool for a test drive! See how it feels, take the time to learn all the bells and whistles, and then, when you\u2019re ready, scale it to your needs.<\/p>\n
How nonprofits can use AI responsibly<\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve covered a lot in this guide already, but there\u2019s one thing that we cannot forget to discuss\u2014using AI in a responsible and ethical manner. The world of artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and while all the tools we\u2019ve discussed are exciting and no doubt beneficial, AI isn\u2019t without its risks. If used improperly, AI can put your organization at risk for data breaches, legal noncompliance, and the spread of misinformation and unintentional biases.<\/p>\n
As intense as all that sounds, as long as your nonprofit takes the steps necessary to responsibly use AI, there\u2019s nothing to worry about. But, what exactly does that look like?<\/p>\n
For one, proper training is key. Before rolling out the red carpet for your new savvy tool and letting staff run loose, be sure everyone who will be using your tool of choice understands that, while AI supports tasks, it should not be used blindly. Without oversight, AI can lead to sharing incorrect or harmful messaging\u2014two things that could be detrimental to your mission. It\u2019s vital to remember that AI is not a substitute for human judgment, empathy, or context.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also important to conduct regular security checks. Without proper guardrails in place, sensitive donor information may be susceptible to cyberattacks or data breaches. This is also where it\u2019s crucial to thoroughly vet whatever vendor you choose to work with. You\u2019ll want to make sure their platforms are secure.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t forget, transparency is everything! Stakeholders should understand how you\u2019re using AI, and be sure to give donors the opportunity to consent to their data being used in an AI system. Don\u2019t shy away from informing them of how you\u2019ll keep their data private and secure.<\/p>\n
Final thoughts<\/h2>\n
While AI Tools for Nonprofits came on the scene fast, they are here to stay. Although relatively new in the grand scheme of technology, it\u2019s already become a vital tool for organizations trying to do more with less. So, whether you\u2019re looking to use AI for fundraising campaigns, improve donor engagement, automate internal processes, or finally tackle that mountain of data, there\u2019s a solution that fits both your goals and your budget. With so many options on the market today, nonprofits of all sizes can start small, scale smart, and make a real impact with the help of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

How to choose the AI tool for your nonprofit<\/h2>\n
Now that we\u2019ve covered some of the best tools on the market, it\u2019s time to get really clear on the pain points your organization is facing. If you have grant proposals down to a science, you probably don\u2019t need to invest in a program like Grantable. But if your social media is all over the place (or nonexistent) it might be time to check out something like Buffer. Clarifying your pain points will be your guiding star in selecting what category of AI is for you.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve done that, now comes the fun of looking at what your organization can afford. As made clear in our list, there are plenty of free tools that are worth getting started with, especially if you\u2019re brand new to using AI. However, free tools are limited in their capabilities, and if you feel you\u2019ve reached the limit of what they can offer, it\u2019s probably time to invest.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, many of the tools listed above have special promotions for nonprofits! Here are the services that offer discounts for organizations like yours.<\/p>\n
\n- Google Gemini<\/a>
\nEligible nonprofits<\/a> can register<\/a> to test Gemini for no-cost as part of Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Google also offers discounts for more advanced AI features.<\/li>\n- Open AI Chat GPT<\/a>
\nNonprofit organizations can access ChatGPT Team at a discounted rate of 20% off monthly or annual plans, and large nonprofits can save 25% by contacting OpenAI\u2019s sales team.<\/li>\n- Buffer<\/a>
\nBuffer offers a 50% discount on all their products and plans for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Canva<\/a>
\nCanva offers nonprofits free access to all of its premium features.<\/li>\n- Jasper<\/a>
\nJasper offers a 20% discount to nonprofits after they complete their free trial.<\/li>\n- Microsoft Copilot<\/a>
\nEligible<\/a> nonprofits can receive a 15% discount on Copilot.<\/li>\n- Salesforce Einstein AI<\/a>
\nSalesforce offers a wide range of discounts and special pricing options for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Otter<\/a>
\nIn conjunction with TechSoup, Otter offers a discounted rate off their annual business plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Zapier<\/a>
\nNonprofits can receive a 15% discount on a single Zapier plan.<\/li>\n- Notion<\/a>
\nNotion offers 50% off their Plus Plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNow that you know what tool works best for your organization from both a pain point and financial perspective, it\u2019s best to narrow down your options by taking a look at what easily integrates with your existing tools. For example, if you\u2019re already using Bloomerang as your CRM, it would probably make the most sense to make use of its AI Content Assistant rather than learning an entirely new system for your fundraising needs.<\/p>\n
Finally, it\u2019s time to take your new tool for a test drive! See how it feels, take the time to learn all the bells and whistles, and then, when you\u2019re ready, scale it to your needs.<\/p>\n
How nonprofits can use AI responsibly<\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve covered a lot in this guide already, but there\u2019s one thing that we cannot forget to discuss\u2014using AI in a responsible and ethical manner. The world of artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and while all the tools we\u2019ve discussed are exciting and no doubt beneficial, AI isn\u2019t without its risks. If used improperly, AI can put your organization at risk for data breaches, legal noncompliance, and the spread of misinformation and unintentional biases.<\/p>\n
As intense as all that sounds, as long as your nonprofit takes the steps necessary to responsibly use AI, there\u2019s nothing to worry about. But, what exactly does that look like?<\/p>\n
For one, proper training is key. Before rolling out the red carpet for your new savvy tool and letting staff run loose, be sure everyone who will be using your tool of choice understands that, while AI supports tasks, it should not be used blindly. Without oversight, AI can lead to sharing incorrect or harmful messaging\u2014two things that could be detrimental to your mission. It\u2019s vital to remember that AI is not a substitute for human judgment, empathy, or context.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also important to conduct regular security checks. Without proper guardrails in place, sensitive donor information may be susceptible to cyberattacks or data breaches. This is also where it\u2019s crucial to thoroughly vet whatever vendor you choose to work with. You\u2019ll want to make sure their platforms are secure.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t forget, transparency is everything! Stakeholders should understand how you\u2019re using AI, and be sure to give donors the opportunity to consent to their data being used in an AI system. Don\u2019t shy away from informing them of how you\u2019ll keep their data private and secure.<\/p>\n
Final thoughts<\/h2>\n
While AI Tools for Nonprofits came on the scene fast, they are here to stay. Although relatively new in the grand scheme of technology, it\u2019s already become a vital tool for organizations trying to do more with less. So, whether you\u2019re looking to use AI for fundraising campaigns, improve donor engagement, automate internal processes, or finally tackle that mountain of data, there\u2019s a solution that fits both your goals and your budget. With so many options on the market today, nonprofits of all sizes can start small, scale smart, and make a real impact with the help of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Clarifying your pain points will be your guiding star in selecting what category of AI is for you.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve done that, now comes the fun of looking at what your organization can afford. As made clear in our list, there are plenty of free tools that are worth getting started with, especially if you\u2019re brand new to using AI. However, free tools are limited in their capabilities, and if you feel you\u2019ve reached the limit of what they can offer, it\u2019s probably time to invest.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, many of the tools listed above have special promotions for nonprofits! Here are the services that offer discounts for organizations like yours.<\/p>\n
\n- Google Gemini<\/a>
\nEligible nonprofits<\/a> can register<\/a> to test Gemini for no-cost as part of Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Google also offers discounts for more advanced AI features.<\/li>\n- Open AI Chat GPT<\/a>
\nNonprofit organizations can access ChatGPT Team at a discounted rate of 20% off monthly or annual plans, and large nonprofits can save 25% by contacting OpenAI\u2019s sales team.<\/li>\n- Buffer<\/a>
\nBuffer offers a 50% discount on all their products and plans for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Canva<\/a>
\nCanva offers nonprofits free access to all of its premium features.<\/li>\n- Jasper<\/a>
\nJasper offers a 20% discount to nonprofits after they complete their free trial.<\/li>\n- Microsoft Copilot<\/a>
\nEligible<\/a> nonprofits can receive a 15% discount on Copilot.<\/li>\n- Salesforce Einstein AI<\/a>
\nSalesforce offers a wide range of discounts and special pricing options for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Otter<\/a>
\nIn conjunction with TechSoup, Otter offers a discounted rate off their annual business plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Zapier<\/a>
\nNonprofits can receive a 15% discount on a single Zapier plan.<\/li>\n- Notion<\/a>
\nNotion offers 50% off their Plus Plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNow that you know what tool works best for your organization from both a pain point and financial perspective, it\u2019s best to narrow down your options by taking a look at what easily integrates with your existing tools. For example, if you\u2019re already using Bloomerang as your CRM, it would probably make the most sense to make use of its AI Content Assistant rather than learning an entirely new system for your fundraising needs.<\/p>\n
Finally, it\u2019s time to take your new tool for a test drive! See how it feels, take the time to learn all the bells and whistles, and then, when you\u2019re ready, scale it to your needs.<\/p>\n
How nonprofits can use AI responsibly<\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve covered a lot in this guide already, but there\u2019s one thing that we cannot forget to discuss\u2014using AI in a responsible and ethical manner. The world of artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and while all the tools we\u2019ve discussed are exciting and no doubt beneficial, AI isn\u2019t without its risks. If used improperly, AI can put your organization at risk for data breaches, legal noncompliance, and the spread of misinformation and unintentional biases.<\/p>\n
As intense as all that sounds, as long as your nonprofit takes the steps necessary to responsibly use AI, there\u2019s nothing to worry about. But, what exactly does that look like?<\/p>\n
For one, proper training is key. Before rolling out the red carpet for your new savvy tool and letting staff run loose, be sure everyone who will be using your tool of choice understands that, while AI supports tasks, it should not be used blindly. Without oversight, AI can lead to sharing incorrect or harmful messaging\u2014two things that could be detrimental to your mission. It\u2019s vital to remember that AI is not a substitute for human judgment, empathy, or context.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also important to conduct regular security checks. Without proper guardrails in place, sensitive donor information may be susceptible to cyberattacks or data breaches. This is also where it\u2019s crucial to thoroughly vet whatever vendor you choose to work with. You\u2019ll want to make sure their platforms are secure.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t forget, transparency is everything! Stakeholders should understand how you\u2019re using AI, and be sure to give donors the opportunity to consent to their data being used in an AI system. Don\u2019t shy away from informing them of how you\u2019ll keep their data private and secure.<\/p>\n
Final thoughts<\/h2>\n
While AI Tools for Nonprofits came on the scene fast, they are here to stay. Although relatively new in the grand scheme of technology, it\u2019s already become a vital tool for organizations trying to do more with less. So, whether you\u2019re looking to use AI for fundraising campaigns, improve donor engagement, automate internal processes, or finally tackle that mountain of data, there\u2019s a solution that fits both your goals and your budget. With so many options on the market today, nonprofits of all sizes can start small, scale smart, and make a real impact with the help of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

How to choose the AI tool for your nonprofit<\/h2>\n
Now that we\u2019ve covered some of the best tools on the market, it\u2019s time to get really clear on the pain points your organization is facing. If you have grant proposals down to a science, you probably don\u2019t need to invest in a program like Grantable. But if your social media is all over the place (or nonexistent) it might be time to check out something like Buffer. Clarifying your pain points will be your guiding star in selecting what category of AI is for you.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve done that, now comes the fun of looking at what your organization can afford. As made clear in our list, there are plenty of free tools that are worth getting started with, especially if you\u2019re brand new to using AI. However, free tools are limited in their capabilities, and if you feel you\u2019ve reached the limit of what they can offer, it\u2019s probably time to invest.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, many of the tools listed above have special promotions for nonprofits! Here are the services that offer discounts for organizations like yours.<\/p>\n
\n- Google Gemini<\/a>
\nEligible nonprofits<\/a> can register<\/a> to test Gemini for no-cost as part of Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Google also offers discounts for more advanced AI features.<\/li>\n- Open AI Chat GPT<\/a>
\nNonprofit organizations can access ChatGPT Team at a discounted rate of 20% off monthly or annual plans, and large nonprofits can save 25% by contacting OpenAI\u2019s sales team.<\/li>\n- Buffer<\/a>
\nBuffer offers a 50% discount on all their products and plans for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Canva<\/a>
\nCanva offers nonprofits free access to all of its premium features.<\/li>\n- Jasper<\/a>
\nJasper offers a 20% discount to nonprofits after they complete their free trial.<\/li>\n- Microsoft Copilot<\/a>
\nEligible<\/a> nonprofits can receive a 15% discount on Copilot.<\/li>\n- Salesforce Einstein AI<\/a>
\nSalesforce offers a wide range of discounts and special pricing options for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Otter<\/a>
\nIn conjunction with TechSoup, Otter offers a discounted rate off their annual business plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Zapier<\/a>
\nNonprofits can receive a 15% discount on a single Zapier plan.<\/li>\n- Notion<\/a>
\nNotion offers 50% off their Plus Plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNow that you know what tool works best for your organization from both a pain point and financial perspective, it\u2019s best to narrow down your options by taking a look at what easily integrates with your existing tools. For example, if you\u2019re already using Bloomerang as your CRM, it would probably make the most sense to make use of its AI Content Assistant rather than learning an entirely new system for your fundraising needs.<\/p>\n
Finally, it\u2019s time to take your new tool for a test drive! See how it feels, take the time to learn all the bells and whistles, and then, when you\u2019re ready, scale it to your needs.<\/p>\n
How nonprofits can use AI responsibly<\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve covered a lot in this guide already, but there\u2019s one thing that we cannot forget to discuss\u2014using AI in a responsible and ethical manner. The world of artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and while all the tools we\u2019ve discussed are exciting and no doubt beneficial, AI isn\u2019t without its risks. If used improperly, AI can put your organization at risk for data breaches, legal noncompliance, and the spread of misinformation and unintentional biases.<\/p>\n
As intense as all that sounds, as long as your nonprofit takes the steps necessary to responsibly use AI, there\u2019s nothing to worry about. But, what exactly does that look like?<\/p>\n
For one, proper training is key. Before rolling out the red carpet for your new savvy tool and letting staff run loose, be sure everyone who will be using your tool of choice understands that, while AI supports tasks, it should not be used blindly. Without oversight, AI can lead to sharing incorrect or harmful messaging\u2014two things that could be detrimental to your mission. It\u2019s vital to remember that AI is not a substitute for human judgment, empathy, or context.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also important to conduct regular security checks. Without proper guardrails in place, sensitive donor information may be susceptible to cyberattacks or data breaches. This is also where it\u2019s crucial to thoroughly vet whatever vendor you choose to work with. You\u2019ll want to make sure their platforms are secure.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t forget, transparency is everything! Stakeholders should understand how you\u2019re using AI, and be sure to give donors the opportunity to consent to their data being used in an AI system. Don\u2019t shy away from informing them of how you\u2019ll keep their data private and secure.<\/p>\n
Final thoughts<\/h2>\n
While AI Tools for Nonprofits came on the scene fast, they are here to stay. Although relatively new in the grand scheme of technology, it\u2019s already become a vital tool for organizations trying to do more with less. So, whether you\u2019re looking to use AI for fundraising campaigns, improve donor engagement, automate internal processes, or finally tackle that mountain of data, there\u2019s a solution that fits both your goals and your budget. With so many options on the market today, nonprofits of all sizes can start small, scale smart, and make a real impact with the help of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

How to choose the AI tool for your nonprofit<\/h2>\n
Now that we\u2019ve covered some of the best tools on the market, it\u2019s time to get really clear on the pain points your organization is facing. If you have grant proposals down to a science, you probably don\u2019t need to invest in a program like Grantable. But if your social media is all over the place (or nonexistent) it might be time to check out something like Buffer. Clarifying your pain points will be your guiding star in selecting what category of AI is for you.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve done that, now comes the fun of looking at what your organization can afford. As made clear in our list, there are plenty of free tools that are worth getting started with, especially if you\u2019re brand new to using AI. However, free tools are limited in their capabilities, and if you feel you\u2019ve reached the limit of what they can offer, it\u2019s probably time to invest.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, many of the tools listed above have special promotions for nonprofits! Here are the services that offer discounts for organizations like yours.<\/p>\n
\n- Google Gemini<\/a>
\nEligible nonprofits<\/a> can register<\/a> to test Gemini for no-cost as part of Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Google also offers discounts for more advanced AI features.<\/li>\n- Open AI Chat GPT<\/a>
\nNonprofit organizations can access ChatGPT Team at a discounted rate of 20% off monthly or annual plans, and large nonprofits can save 25% by contacting OpenAI\u2019s sales team.<\/li>\n- Buffer<\/a>
\nBuffer offers a 50% discount on all their products and plans for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Canva<\/a>
\nCanva offers nonprofits free access to all of its premium features.<\/li>\n- Jasper<\/a>
\nJasper offers a 20% discount to nonprofits after they complete their free trial.<\/li>\n- Microsoft Copilot<\/a>
\nEligible<\/a> nonprofits can receive a 15% discount on Copilot.<\/li>\n- Salesforce Einstein AI<\/a>
\nSalesforce offers a wide range of discounts and special pricing options for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Otter<\/a>
\nIn conjunction with TechSoup, Otter offers a discounted rate off their annual business plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Zapier<\/a>
\nNonprofits can receive a 15% discount on a single Zapier plan.<\/li>\n- Notion<\/a>
\nNotion offers 50% off their Plus Plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNow that you know what tool works best for your organization from both a pain point and financial perspective, it\u2019s best to narrow down your options by taking a look at what easily integrates with your existing tools. For example, if you\u2019re already using Bloomerang as your CRM, it would probably make the most sense to make use of its AI Content Assistant rather than learning an entirely new system for your fundraising needs.<\/p>\n
Finally, it\u2019s time to take your new tool for a test drive! See how it feels, take the time to learn all the bells and whistles, and then, when you\u2019re ready, scale it to your needs.<\/p>\n
How nonprofits can use AI responsibly<\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve covered a lot in this guide already, but there\u2019s one thing that we cannot forget to discuss\u2014using AI in a responsible and ethical manner. The world of artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and while all the tools we\u2019ve discussed are exciting and no doubt beneficial, AI isn\u2019t without its risks. If used improperly, AI can put your organization at risk for data breaches, legal noncompliance, and the spread of misinformation and unintentional biases.<\/p>\n
As intense as all that sounds, as long as your nonprofit takes the steps necessary to responsibly use AI, there\u2019s nothing to worry about. But, what exactly does that look like?<\/p>\n
For one, proper training is key. Before rolling out the red carpet for your new savvy tool and letting staff run loose, be sure everyone who will be using your tool of choice understands that, while AI supports tasks, it should not be used blindly. Without oversight, AI can lead to sharing incorrect or harmful messaging\u2014two things that could be detrimental to your mission. It\u2019s vital to remember that AI is not a substitute for human judgment, empathy, or context.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also important to conduct regular security checks. Without proper guardrails in place, sensitive donor information may be susceptible to cyberattacks or data breaches. This is also where it\u2019s crucial to thoroughly vet whatever vendor you choose to work with. You\u2019ll want to make sure their platforms are secure.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t forget, transparency is everything! Stakeholders should understand how you\u2019re using AI, and be sure to give donors the opportunity to consent to their data being used in an AI system. Don\u2019t shy away from informing them of how you\u2019ll keep their data private and secure.<\/p>\n
Final thoughts<\/h2>\n
While AI Tools for Nonprofits came on the scene fast, they are here to stay. Although relatively new in the grand scheme of technology, it\u2019s already become a vital tool for organizations trying to do more with less. So, whether you\u2019re looking to use AI for fundraising campaigns, improve donor engagement, automate internal processes, or finally tackle that mountain of data, there\u2019s a solution that fits both your goals and your budget. With so many options on the market today, nonprofits of all sizes can start small, scale smart, and make a real impact with the help of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

How to choose the AI tool for your nonprofit<\/h2>\n
Now that we\u2019ve covered some of the best tools on the market, it\u2019s time to get really clear on the pain points your organization is facing. If you have grant proposals down to a science, you probably don\u2019t need to invest in a program like Grantable. But if your social media is all over the place (or nonexistent) it might be time to check out something like Buffer. Clarifying your pain points will be your guiding star in selecting what category of AI is for you.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve done that, now comes the fun of looking at what your organization can afford. As made clear in our list, there are plenty of free tools that are worth getting started with, especially if you\u2019re brand new to using AI. However, free tools are limited in their capabilities, and if you feel you\u2019ve reached the limit of what they can offer, it\u2019s probably time to invest.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, many of the tools listed above have special promotions for nonprofits! Here are the services that offer discounts for organizations like yours.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Google Gemini<\/a>
\nEligible nonprofits<\/a> can register<\/a> to test Gemini for no-cost as part of Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Google also offers discounts for more advanced AI features.<\/li>\n- Open AI Chat GPT<\/a>
\nNonprofit organizations can access ChatGPT Team at a discounted rate of 20% off monthly or annual plans, and large nonprofits can save 25% by contacting OpenAI\u2019s sales team.<\/li>\n- Buffer<\/a>
\nBuffer offers a 50% discount on all their products and plans for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Canva<\/a>
\nCanva offers nonprofits free access to all of its premium features.<\/li>\n- Jasper<\/a>
\nJasper offers a 20% discount to nonprofits after they complete their free trial.<\/li>\n- Microsoft Copilot<\/a>
\nEligible<\/a> nonprofits can receive a 15% discount on Copilot.<\/li>\n- Salesforce Einstein AI<\/a>
\nSalesforce offers a wide range of discounts and special pricing options for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Otter<\/a>
\nIn conjunction with TechSoup, Otter offers a discounted rate off their annual business plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n- Zapier<\/a>
\nNonprofits can receive a 15% discount on a single Zapier plan.<\/li>\n- Notion<\/a>
\nNotion offers 50% off their Plus Plan for nonprofits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNow that you know what tool works best for your organization from both a pain point and financial perspective, it\u2019s best to narrow down your options by taking a look at what easily integrates with your existing tools. For example, if you\u2019re already using Bloomerang as your CRM, it would probably make the most sense to make use of its AI Content Assistant rather than learning an entirely new system for your fundraising needs.<\/p>\n
Finally, it\u2019s time to take your new tool for a test drive! See how it feels, take the time to learn all the bells and whistles, and then, when you\u2019re ready, scale it to your needs.<\/p>\n
How nonprofits can use AI responsibly<\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve covered a lot in this guide already, but there\u2019s one thing that we cannot forget to discuss\u2014using AI in a responsible and ethical manner. The world of artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and while all the tools we\u2019ve discussed are exciting and no doubt beneficial, AI isn\u2019t without its risks. If used improperly, AI can put your organization at risk for data breaches, legal noncompliance, and the spread of misinformation and unintentional biases.<\/p>\n
As intense as all that sounds, as long as your nonprofit takes the steps necessary to responsibly use AI, there\u2019s nothing to worry about. But, what exactly does that look like?<\/p>\n
For one, proper training is key. Before rolling out the red carpet for your new savvy tool and letting staff run loose, be sure everyone who will be using your tool of choice understands that, while AI supports tasks, it should not be used blindly. Without oversight, AI can lead to sharing incorrect or harmful messaging\u2014two things that could be detrimental to your mission. It\u2019s vital to remember that AI is not a substitute for human judgment, empathy, or context.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also important to conduct regular security checks. Without proper guardrails in place, sensitive donor information may be susceptible to cyberattacks or data breaches. This is also where it\u2019s crucial to thoroughly vet whatever vendor you choose to work with. You\u2019ll want to make sure their platforms are secure.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t forget, transparency is everything! Stakeholders should understand how you\u2019re using AI, and be sure to give donors the opportunity to consent to their data being used in an AI system. Don\u2019t shy away from informing them of how you\u2019ll keep their data private and secure.<\/p>\n
Final thoughts<\/h2>\n
While AI Tools for Nonprofits came on the scene fast, they are here to stay. Although relatively new in the grand scheme of technology, it\u2019s already become a vital tool for organizations trying to do more with less. So, whether you\u2019re looking to use AI for fundraising campaigns, improve donor engagement, automate internal processes, or finally tackle that mountain of data, there\u2019s a solution that fits both your goals and your budget. With so many options on the market today, nonprofits of all sizes can start small, scale smart, and make a real impact with the help of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
