As AI shifts from experimental to expected, philanthropy is facing a critical question: how to adopt these tools without compromising trust.
In a recent piece from The Index Applied Substack, sector leaders—including Ashutosh Nandeshwar, Ph.D. (CCS Fundraising), Jean Westrick (Technology Association of Grantmakers), and Inside Philanthropy’s Mike Scutari—share how nonprofits and funders are navigating this moment.
Key themes from the conversation 👇
▪️ AI can reduce burden and improve decision-making—but requires oversight
▪️ Ethical, mission-led adoption is essential
▪️ Human judgment and relationships remain central
▪️ Leading organizations are defining what they won’t automate
A thoughtful look at how the sector can embrace AI while protecting the values it depends on.
