Nonprofits can use AI to drive meaningful improvement—and if you’ve wondered how it applies to your organization, you’re not alone. Discover how the effective use of artificial intelligence can boost efficiency, streamline operations, and help your nonprofit excel in powerful new ways.
Limiting Mistakes
Mistakes are costly for organizations. Just ask the executives at Citibank, where a “small” clerical error resulted in a $900 million payment mistake that a judge declared the company was not entitled to claw back.
Because artificial intelligence can automate and streamline repetitive processes like data entry, scheduling, quality control, and even basic donor inquiries, it can reduce the fatigue-related errors that often come with those tasks. In turn, organizations can see greater efficiency, productivity, and cost savings.
Enabling Strategic Functions
What happens when your team isn’t spending all of their time on mundane, repetitive tasks? They’ll finally have more time for complex, high-value activities.
Perhaps your HR department will finally get to analyze those skills gaps and plan for upskilling or strategic hiring to fill them. Maybe your development department can spend time understanding donor needs and devising a strategy to meet them. In this way, AI can help you get more out of your employees and ultimately maximize your impact.
Enhancing Data Analysis and Reporting
In addition to reducing the possibility of data entry mistakes, AI tools can also enhance how you analyze that data.
It can easily detect patterns and trends in your datasets from which you can extract critical intelligence, such as when and how to engage donors with new campaigns, what new initiatives donors want to see, and which segments of your audience respond best to certain language in your ads.
As you use that business intelligence to set strategies, AI software can track related key performance indicators, such as cost per click, social media post impressions, or average donation size, and quickly report those numbers without waiting for humans to compile the numbers. This makes it easy to make real-time strategic adjustments that may bring in more donors or attention.
Increasing Software Efficiency
AI capabilities are in such high demand that experts predict the market for AI software will grow to more than $150 billion by 2028. This is for good reason. AI plugins and add-on features can make even the most highly effective software even more efficient.
For example, AI-powered tools can take inventory management to a new level for those organizations that make merchandise available for sale. With the right tools, nonprofit owners can track stock levels in real-time, optimize them based on recent sales data, and automatically trigger replenishment orders.
This is just a glimpse into how AI can ensure high levels of operational accuracy and save your organization time and money.
