EPISODE SUMMARY
Nathan Chappell, Chief AI Officer at Virtuous and co-founder of Fundraising.AI, explores how AI can help reverse systemic declines in charitable giving.
Drawing on decades as both a fundraiser and technologist, Nathan discusses why the nonprofit sector is at a tipping point: donor participation is shrinking, transactional fundraising is breaking trust, and traditional methods are no longer enough.
As a solution, Nathan explains how AI can be used responsibly and ethically to reignite generosity, build stronger donor relationships, and free up time for more human connection.
Nathan shares insights on:
- Why AI may be the only scalable solution to today’s generosity crisis.
- How leaders can build a culture of curiosity that makes AI adoption work.
- What it means for a nonprofit to become “AI First”.
- Balancing efficiency with authenticity when using AI.
- Using precision philanthropy to deliver true personalization for donors.
- How to avoid making giving more transactional and instead build deeper trust.
