Artificial Intelligence AI is everywhere at the moment and everyone has an opinion on how it will impact nonprofit fundraising. So we sat down with Shawn Olds, the Chief Executive Officer of @boodleai1557 the leading machine learning peer-to-peer platform empowering nonprofits to connect with, and engage, new donors and supporters, to hear just what to expect in the future, and how to maximize the AI you may already be using. Shawn takes Cara through the impacts AI has already and will continue to have on fundraising, tackling concerns, and digging into the opportunities that open up when you optimize your donor segmentation and communication using AI. Touching on how AI helps organizations achieve significant lifts in conversion, engagement, and retention rates, this is the first of two interviews that drill deep into AI’s potential to revolutionize how nonprofit organizations operate, connect with donors, and serve their communities.You can find out more about Shawn and the remarkable results boodle.AI is delivering for its clients here: https://boodle.ai/ Be sure to join us next week when Cara and Shawn get into how nonprofit leaders, founders, and fundraisers can use AI to build relationships with donors.
