AI helps small nonprofits work better. It makes it easier to share what they do and make smart choices. Let’s see how small groups can use AI while staying close to the people they help.
A group called Temelio studied how small nonprofits use AI. They found that groups who care about trust are happy to let the people they give money to use AI. But these same groups worry about using AI in their own work.
How AI Builds Trust
Trust-based giving means being open and fair with groups that get money. AI can help by:
- Looking at information without playing favorites
- Doing paperwork so people have time to talk
- Finding where help is needed most
Using AI While Keeping Trust
Some groups worry AI might make things less friendly. But when used well, AI can give people more time to:
- Talk with groups they help
- Make fair choices about giving money
- Check that everything works well
Good Ways to Use AI
Here are some tips for nonprofits that want to use AI:
- Start with tools that help the groups you give to
- Tell people how you use AI
- Make simple rules about using AI fairly
- Ask groups what they think about the AI tools
By using AI carefully, groups can do more good while staying close to the people they help.
