SUMMARY:Small Shop: Grow Major Gifts With the Team You Have

SUMMARY:Monkey in the Middle: A.I. Tug of War in Fundraising Research
DESCRIPTION:You’ve seen the debate play out. On one end of the rope: people convinced A.I. will upend everything we know about research and prospect management — for better or worse. On the other end: those equally certain it is the key to unlocking capacity\, insight\, and impact like we’ve never had before. \nAnd there you are in the middle — trying to do your job well. \nThis session is for everyone on that rope. Whether you’re skeptical\, all-in\, or curiously somewhere in between\, join Jen Filla for a candid\, peer-driven conversation about what it actually looks like to navigate A.I. in fundraising research right now — not in theory\, but in practice. \nWe’ll explore where caution is warranted\, where opportunity is being left on the table\, and how professionals across the spectrum are making decisions they feel good about. No hype. No fear-mongering. Just real talk and practical ideas you can take back to your desk \nRSVP TODAY: https://www.aprafl.org/events/monkey-in-the-middle-a-i-tug-of-war-in-fundraising-research
