Raising More with Artificial Intelligence

Nonprofit fundraising is starting to reap the benefits of the amazing efficiency improvements that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is enabling.  AI will not replace fundraisers, but rather make them more successful.

Nonprofit
organizations have spent years accumulating a wealth of data. By leveraging AI,
nonprofits can now gain a greater understanding of the vast amounts of data
they collect and act on the insights that the data is communicating. By examining
and evaluating giving histories, for example, AI can recommend optimal ways to follow
up with each specific donor and the order in which to follow up with them. AI
services can also create personalized messages and offer predictions regarding
additional gifts and subsequent steps in the moves management process.

Additionally, AI
can assist with career pathing within a nonprofit. By empowering new fundraisers
to learn the craft more quickly and enabling more tenured fundraisers to work
more effectively, quickly and accurately, AI can provide skill acquisition and management
ascension that was previously more difficult to achieve — if at all.

Gravyty, a
Boston-based artificial intelligence company, is leading the way in applying AI
in fundraising. “Nonprofit organizations
are in a unique position to leverage the power of artificial intelligence
since they have so much deep, structured and wonderful data,” says Adam Martel,
CEO at Gravyty and former Major Gifts Officer at Babson College. “Fundraising is a people-business and we
believe that artificial intelligence will redefine the way organizations raise
money by enabling our best fundraisers to build relationships with more of
their top donors.”
