AI tools are everywhere—but most nonprofits are still stuck in neutral.
Complex terminology, resource limitations, and the fear of “breaking something” have slowed adoption across the sector. But in an era of shrinking budgets and rising donor expectations, standing still isn’t an option.
This session is designed to cut through the AI noise and give fundraising professionals a practical look at how modern donors engage—and how a smarter system and stronger segmentation power greater giving.
We’ll explore:
- The current state of fundraising based on Avid’s live fundraising benchmarks
- How modern donor behavior has changed, and what it takes to keep up
- How rethinking our systems to engage donors can lead to growth
By the end of this session, you’ll:
- Gain clarity on the current state of fundraising: See the latest trends shaping nonprofit fundraising today leveraging Avid’s live benchmarks.
- Re-imagine modern donor engagement: Compare the traditional “donor funnel” model to a more modern way of understanding donor behavior
