As #AI continues to evolve, funders are seeing a variety of opportunities to support nonprofit AI initiatives. Navigating these opportunities responsibly can be challenging. How can you be strategic in your funding decisions to ensure real, sustainable impact? Fast Forward’s Philanthropist’s Guide to Nonprofit AI Investments offers a framework to help funders make thoughtful, informed decisions. Before committing to AI projects, consider these critical questions: 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: Is the AI solution addressing a clearly defined, high-priority problem? How will it create measurable change in areas like human rights, education, or healthcare? 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: Does the nonprofit have the necessary technical expertise, or a plan to acquire it, to implement AI successfully? Are they leveraging partnerships to enhance the project’s effectiveness? 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝘀: How is the nonprofit mitigating risks like algorithmic bias and data privacy concerns? Are they prepared for potential unintended consequences? By asking these questions, funders can avoid the allure of flashy tech and instead support AI projects that align with their mission, vision, and values.
