Brooklyn Org Nonprofit Conference: AI For Fundraising

In Partnership with Hudson Ferris & United Way of NYC

St. Francis College, 179 Livingston St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
8:30 AM–12:30 PM EDT

Attend

Brooklyn is the home to thousands of dedicated, innovative, hardworking nonprofits – most of which operate on shoestring budgets, minimal staff and volunteers, and no bandwidth or capacity to do the necessary work of fundraising while they do the critical work of their programs and missions. This is the driver behind Brooklyn Org’s commitment to capacity building. From in-person leader salons and regional convenings to virtual training series and workshops, we welcome any Brooklyn-serving nonprofit to take part, whether or not they are a grantee of Brooklyn Org.

The Brooklyn Org Nonprofit Conference, like all of our capacity programming, was created to give our emerging and long-standing nonprofit executive directors, staff and volunteer teams, and Boards the much-needed boost to expand, deepen, and develop their organizations to the next level – to secure the grant, access new funders, and engage more donors and Board members to achieve their organizational dreams.

We are so grateful for the partnership of Hudson Ferris in planning this conference with our team, for our hosts St. Francis College for providing their beautiful space free of charge, and for the support of United Way of NYC, Escalon Services, and Fundraise Up as conference sponsors.

For this first conference, we’re taking on Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are at a moment where the tools and technology are offering us some hope – and some concerns. AI is the hot button issue of our day – will it take us to the promised land of fewer hours spent writing and analyzing emails, reports, and spreadsheets – or will it leave us all behind?

That’s the big opportunity and challenge guiding us today.

Attendees will hear from experts like Matt Mitchell from Ford Foundation, Cathy Richards from The Engine Room, and Kelsey Kramer from Giving Tuesday. Sessions will cover training on using AI for fundraising, addressing bias in AI, and as well as how philanthropy is thinking about AI.
