Discussion: Are You Ready for Agentic AI? A Human First Readiness Check for Nonprofits
Are You Ready for Agentic AI? Let’s Talk 👇
AI is already reshaping fundraising and nonprofit operations—but many teams are still asking the wrong question:
👉 “Should we use AI?”
A better one might be:
👉 “Are we ready?”
We’re hosting an upcoming session, “Are You Ready for Agentic AI? A Human-First Readiness Check for Nonprofits,” featuring @Matt Connell and @Amelia Helm—and it’s designed to help you answer exactly that.
What we’re unpacking:
- A plain-English look at agentic AI (what it is—and what it isn’t)
- How readiness goes beyond tools to include data health, governance, and trust
- Ways to align teams with different levels of comfort with AI
- A simple framework to identify early use cases that protect authenticity
Let’s spark a conversation 💬
Agentic AI is powerful—but in philanthropy, how we adopt it matters just as much as if we adopt it.
So we’d love to hear from you:
- Where is your organization on the AI readiness journey?
- What’s holding you back (or helping you move forward)?
- How are you thinking about balancing innovation with trust?
👇 Join the conversation below—your perspective helps shape how our sector moves forward, together.

My org is against it and I am in agreement with them, since I suggested to them from the get go, not to use it. It is too early in its stage to work properly. I have come across AI being used not only by non-profits, but others and right away when I get something generated in a email by AI, first off I can tell right off the bat it is AI and second, way too much incorrect information. What is the need to constantly push this. Blackbaud would be much better focusing on how to make the regular non-AI stuff in RE NXT better and work properly.
