AI isn’t a trend anymore—it’s an essential tool in the modern fundraiser’s toolkit. Here’s the status of fundraising in the AI era: over 80% of fundraisers across the sector are leveraging artificial intelligence to make an impact. Join Blackbaud Institute Director, Lori Poer, and Sr. Manager, Product Management, Sam Venable, for a discussion of the current state of AI adoption in the social impact sector, with insights into how leaders can push innovation at whichever stage of adoption and readiness they sit.
