AI for Nonprofits
AI for Nonprofits
Artificial Intelligence is transforming our world, but it cannot replace the nonprofit sector because it cannot replace our compassion.
Considerations
AI holds significant promise for nonprofits by enhancing capacity and helping staff with time-consuming tasks. It also holds the hidden biases of its creators. AI has drawbacks, as it requires substantial resources and can contribute to climate change. Additionally, AI-generated content requires fact-checking and proofreading, as it sometimes creates made up "facts" and can exhibit awkward grammar.
Considerations
AI for Nonprofit Resource Hub
​This resource hub was created by NTEN in partnership with Maryland Nonprofits and the National Council of Nonprofits.
The hub is designed to be a central repository for nonprofit staff, offering a wide range of materials. You can share everything with your team and board, and they will keep expanding the hub based on your needs and feedback.
