Summer Series: Practical AI Skills for Today's Fundraiser

Artificial intelligence is changing the way nonprofits communicate, create content, engage donors, and manage day-to-day operations. But with so many tools available—and so much information to sort through—it can be hard to know where to start.
Join AFP Alaska Chapter for Summer Series: Practical AI Skills for Today's Fundraiser, an interactive half-day workshop designed for fundraising and nonprofit professionals at all levels of AI experience.
Whether you've never used AI before, experimented with tools like ChatGPT or Copilot, or are looking to sharpen your skills, this session will meet you where you are. Through demonstrations, discussion, and real-world examples, you'll learn how AI can support fundraising, communications, stewardship, event planning, and other nonprofit functions while maintaining the human relationships at the heart of our work.
You'll learn:
• The current AI landscape and commonly used tools
• Practical fundraising and nonprofit applications
• Opportunities and limitations of AI in your work
Bring your laptop, your questions, and your curiosity.
