#355- The Future of Fundraising and AI with Brooke Richie-Babbage
Description
This week on Nonprofit Lowdown, I’m joined by my business bestie and returning favorite, Brooke Richie-Babbage — strategist, executive, founder of Bending Arc, and all-around AI powerhouse.
We’re diving deep into how AI is actually being used in the nonprofit space — beyond the hype.
We discuss:
How AI can support (but not replace) your thinking
Use cases for AI in finance, fundraising, and data analysis
Tools for donor segmentation and engagement
Why donor trust and ethical data use matter more than ever
How to create guardrails, policies, and inclusive practices around AI
We also talk about the messy but necessary process of innovation, how to lead AI adoption with integrity, and why nonprofits must be part of the AI conversation — or risk being left behind.
If you're curious about AI but unsure where to start, this one’s packed with insights, real examples, and practical tools you can use right away.
