Learning how to meaningfully implement the use of AI within your business can feel like one more thing on an already overflowing “to-do” list. We’re told it’s a game-changer that will save us hours, but because the technology is ever-changing, it often feels like a waste of time we don’t have. In the nonprofit world, we can’t afford to sound like a machine—we need to sound like people who care.
In this session, we’ll talk about how to:
- Spot the “Helpful” vs. the “Hype”: Figure out which AI tools actually give you your afternoon back and which ones are just shiny distractions.
- Write Like a Human (With a Little Help): Use AI to beat writer’s block for donor emails and ads without losing the heart and soul of your mission.
- Keep Your Reputation Safe: Learn why “copy-pasting” from a bot can actually hurt your standing with Google and how to keep your content feeling authentic.
- Navigate the New Way People Search: Understand how AI is changing the way donors find you online and how to stay visible when the rules of the internet are shifting.
- Decide What to Automate (and What to Touch Yourself): Create a simple “gut check” to know when to let a tool handle the work and when a task needs a real person’s touch.
Whether you’re curious about AI but don’t know where to start, or you’re worried it’s going to make your marketing feel “cold,” this presentation is about finding a balance. You’ll walk away with a game plan from Ben and Ryan on how to implement these tools in the most authentic way possible.
Complimentary to all nonprofit organizations!
About our Presenters:
Ben Abbas and Ryan Krejci from the Cause Inspired team are stepping away from their digital playgrounds to have an in-person, real conversation about what AI looks like in the trenches of nonprofit marketing in 2026. Between Ben’s strategic eye and Ryan’s deep dive into digital tools, they’ll break down which AI shortcuts actually help you reach more people and which ones just add more noise to an already loud world.
