Why Nonprofits Must Lead the AI Revolution — with the Greater Pittsburgh Nonprofit Partnership
Description
AI is transforming every industry, but what does it look like when nonprofit leaders take the driver's seat? In this episode of TechVibe Radio, Emily Francis, Director of the Greater Pittsburgh Nonprofit Partnership, joins us to preview the 2025 GPNP Summit and to break down why now is the moment for nonprofits to embrace AI, not fear it.
Emily reveals how AI is already reducing burnout, saving time, improving service delivery, and even strengthening collaboration among the 8,500 nonprofits across Southwestern Pennsylvania. And with 20 years of the GPNP Summit behind them, this year's theme of AI, Advocacy & Action couldn't be more timely.
So many reason to listen:
• Hear how nonprofits are using AI to save 8–12 hours per week and reclaim mission-focused work instead of drowning in administrative tasks.
• Learn how AI "agents" are connecting nonprofits in real time so organizations can make instant, zero-second referrals to get people the help they need—without waiting on emails or phone calls.
• Discover why nonprofits are uniquely positioned to shape the future of ethical, community-centered AI, and why they can't afford to be "the last considered" when new technologies are built.
From powerful keynote speakers to hands-on workshops to a rapidly growing AI-for-social-impact movement, this conversation previews a summit—and a moment—that could redefine what's possible for nonprofit leaders.
