Our next CEO Leadership Exchange on Tuesday, August 11, will focus on artificial intelligence and its potential to transform not only the way foundations work, but also its role in building nonprofit capacity.  

Georgia Mjartan, president and CEO of Central Carolina Community Foundation, and Tom Lawrence, president and CEO of The Leon Levine Foundation, will share how their organizations are approaching AI and what they are learning along the way. We will explore practical applications and use cases for AI within foundations, including how leaders and staff are using AI to increase effectiveness, improve workflows, and support decision-making.  

Discussion will also focus on organizational adoption and change management – what it takes to move beyond individual experimentation and encourage meaningful use across an organization. We will also consider AI through a capacity-building lens, including how funders can support nonprofit partners as they evaluate and adopt AI tools and how philanthropy can help ensure organizations of all sizes have access to the opportunities AI presents.  

Through presentation, discussion, and peer exchange, you will leave with practical ideas, lessons learned, and questions to consider as you navigate AI within your own organization and community.
