Philanthropy New York

✍ In Rachel Kimber, MPA, MS's recent Insights piece, "Building Bridges with AI: Philanthropy’s Urgent Call to Lead" she lays out how AI is already influencing: 📝 grantmaking & decision-making, ⚖️ nonprofit operations & equity, and 🔐 data governance & privacy, and how funders can shift their role in AI's development from passive observer to active driver. "...grantmaking processes are being streamlined by algorithms, and AI tools are influencing decision-making in ways funders don’t fully understand. Yet, many in philanthropy remain unaware of the extent to which AI is being used—or assume that ignoring it will somehow insulate them from its consequences. The truth is stark: AI is here, love it or hate it, and we must either drive or be driven toward outcomes we may not agree with."
