Ever wondered how to speed up innovation in the charity sector using AI? We've been experimenting with this at Torchbox for the past 18 months, and we're excited to share what we've learned. On November 20th, we're hosting a webinar to share how AI can help charities do more with limited resources (and no, it's not about replacing humans – quite the opposite!) We'll look at real examples of: • Using AI to generate and test ideas rapidly • Building AI-first processes that enhance human creativity • Making better decisions with data-driven insights • Practical ways to implement this in your organisation, even with limited tech resources If you're curious about how AI could help your charity innovate faster and stretch resources further, join us at 2pm GMT / 9am EST, 20th Nov. We'll keep it practical, ethical, and focused on real-world applications.

On my way to the People’s Mission Hall, Whitechapel, London for the AI for All buildathon which will bring together Third Sector organisations and AI experts to co-create practical, impactful AI solutions. This buildathon goes beyond ideas—teams will build and ship solutions that directly address the challenges faced by charities, ensuring real-world outcomes. The Third Sector is in critical need of technological support, with 63% of charities concerned about developing digital skills in-house and 50% reporting that a lack of AI expertise is a major barrier to progress [source: Charity Digital Skills Report 2023] To bridge this gap, the AI for All buildathon will provide practical AI solutions that are both accessible and impactful. Looking forward to the day ahead with Bronwyn Kunhardt and everyone involved. #ai #technology #charity

Artificial intelligence / AI is here to stay and it’s transforming the way many sectors do business. In this episode we explore what difference AI is already making to fundraising, practical tips and what we need to be aware of. The very experienced digital fundraiser, Emily Casson, gave a fascinating talk at Bright Spot’s last summer Breakfast Club for Fundraising Leaders event, and we’re pleased to share it here. She spoke about why charities cannot afford to ignore AI. She demonstrated how it can help fundraisers be more effective, including in terms of saving time, generating ideas and improving analysis. For example, Emily and her colleagues have already used it to make big improvements in how they tailor individual supporter journeys, so that supporters are asked to give amounts appropriate to them and its proved incredibly effective. Emily also talked about several important ethical issues charities need to consider with this rapidly changing technology.

Everyone’s talking about AI, but it won't boost your fundraising if you neglect the basics. Focus on timely thank-you letters, impact reports, donor engagement, and clean data. Use AI as a tool, not a replacement for solid donor relationships.
