  • Science Fiction come to life

    Listening to the FundraisingAI podcast has been a revelation, much like a modern-day version of Jurassic Park’s cautionary tale. Malcolm’s words resonate throughout: “Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t start to think if they should.” This podcast brilliantly navigates the crucial questions about the ethical and practical use of AI in fundraising, emphasizing the need for responsible innovation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 85 - From Predictive Models to AI Coaches: A New Era for Nonprofits with Ben Miller & Tanuja Korlepra
Q: What governance and guardrails are non-negotiable for Bonterra when deploying AI?
Ben describes a formal AI governance process, bi-weekly cross-functional reviews, data governance, legal and security oversight, and a commitment to trust as the currency in nonprofit fundraising.
Episode 82 - From Garage to Global Relief: How Project C.U.R.E. Scales Impact with Data, Volunteers, and AI with Dr. Douglas Jackson
Q: How do you maintain efficiency and trust as you scale, especially with a largely volunteer-based model?
We emphasize purpose over pay, keep bureaucracy to a minimum, and implement robust data and process controls so volunteers can focus on impact; this includes clear ownership, transparent metrics, and continual learning about better questions and processes.
Episode 82 - From Garage to Global Relief: How Project C.U.R.E. Scales Impact with Data, Volunteers, and AI with Dr. Douglas Jackson
Q: What role did data play in shaping decision-making as you grew, and where does AI come into the picture?
Data revealed gaps and opportunities across shipping, inventory, and volunteer management; AI started as a way to harmonize disparate data sources and, more recently, to automate knowledge transfer and decision-making for equipment maintenance and clinical workflows.
Episode 82 - From Garage to Global Relief: How Project C.U.R.E. Scales Impact with Data, Volunteers, and AI with Dr. Douglas Jackson
Q: To start, can you share the origin story of Project C.U.R.E. and how a garage-based effort evolved into a global operation?
The founders began in a garage, turned a passion into a systematic effort, and gradually built the infrastructure—spreadsheets, then a CRM, then a full Microsoft-based stack—paired with a strong volunteer network to scale logistics and donor engagement.
Episode 79 - AI's Next Chapter in Non-profits with Paul Goldstein
Q: Paul, what's the Intelligence for Good strategy and how are you tackling responsible AI in this space?
It's a three-part framework: principled design (responsible foundations), convenience for users, and powerful capabilities, all anchored by a long-standing commitment to privacy and security. We emphasize data governance, accessibility, and ensuring tools actually move missions forward rather than complicate workflows.
