Here's a scenario that plays out more often than anyone talks about. You automate several things, gain back real time, produce more content, hit your deadlines, and by every measurable metric you're more efficient. And then something shifts. You're busier than ever but feel less connected. Your communications are more frequent but your relationships fe...
The blank page is one of the most expensive problems in a nonprofit communications shop. Every appeal that goes out late, every grant narrative written in a panic the night before it's due, every newsletter that gets skipped because nobody had time — that's mission capacity sitting on the floor.
Your donors are already using AI. Seventy-six percent of them, according to a March 2026 study from BBS & Associates. They know what AI-generated content feels like.

Most leaders ask the wrong question about AI. "Can I use this?" has a very short conversation these days ... the answer to almost everything is yes. The steward asks a different question: "Should I, and how?" That shift changes everything about how you approach technology decisions.
Most nonprofit leaders are already using AI ... often quietly, without a shared plan, and without a framework for deciding what's okay and what isn't. A 2026 study found that 92% of nonprofits are using AI, but 65% describe their use as reactive and individual, and 47% have no governance policy at all. If that sounds familiar, this episode is your starting point.
