This program is a part of our Midwest Partnership Series, a collaboration between Philanthropy Ohio, Indiana Philanthropy Alliance, Council of Michigan Foundations, Iowa Council of Foundations and Philanthropy Missouri 

 

Uncover how you can leverage responsible AI use while maintaining community trust and alignment, particularly in the context of rural communities. Rural nonprofits routinely cite limited capacity as one of the largest barriers to engaging in the grantmaking process. This session will share emerging research and observations on how AI is used in the nonprofit sector. You’ll explore how AI can be an equalizer for small organizations while also considering how AI as a force can overwhelm and obscure organizational needs.   

What you’ll take away 

  • Practical strategies and a clear sense of where AI can support your work. 
  • Insight on where human discernment and engagement matters most in your use of AI technology. 
  • Connections to an expansive set of colleagues in the region through the Midwest Partnership Series.   

Who should attend 

  • Staff and trustees with grantmaking responsibilities within their foundation. 
  • Foundation staff interested in building general AI knowledge in the sector.
