  • 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 96 - A Better Way: Donor-Centric AI with Derric Bakker
Q: How did you come to your current stance on AI and fundraising?
I started from a desire to shift fundraising toward deeper, personal donor relationships and realized AI could scale those behaviors across all donors, not just major ones, while needing strong ethics and governance to prevent manipulation.
Episode 94 - Building a More Confident Fundraising Sector with Mallory Erickson
Q: Why is AI fluency important for nonprofit leaders, and how does Practivated help achieve it?
AI fluency helps leaders move beyond fear and paralysis; Practivated offers structured practice, coaching, and feedback to build confidence and capability in discussing AI with boards, staff, and donors, ultimately enabling responsible adoption.
Episode 94 - Building a More Confident Fundraising Sector with Mallory Erickson
Q: What catalyzed the development of Practivated as a spin-off around AI?
Mallory explains that it grew from a long-standing desire to solve fundraising participation declines and burnout by providing scalable, practical tools that empower fundraisers to have better conversations about AI, not just to build tools for the sake of technology.
Episode 93 - AI Is a Capability, Not just a Technology with Judah Phillips
Q: Can nonprofits of any size benefit from predictive AI, and how do you handle messy data?
Yes, any size nonprofit can benefit by connecting their data to Squark and using the tool to identify which features are predictive and which data are worth collecting. The platform automates feature engineering and model building, and it includes data-hygiene capabilities to prune unhelpful or non-contributory data, reducing cost and time while preserving or improving ROI.
Episode 93 - AI Is a Capability, Not just a Technology with Judah Phillips
Q: What is Squark, and where did the name come from?
Squark is described as an AI that does AI, packaging deep predictive analytics into an automated platform with feature engineering, model selection, and interpretability so nonprofits can generate predictions without needing a full data science team. The name derives from a playful reference to a supersymmetrical particle and was chosen for its memorable, science-forward vibe.
