Exploring how Artificial Intelligence is transforming giving
Artificial intelligence is rapidly influencing how generosity is expressed, managed, and scaled. From donor engagement and grantmaking to impact measurement and strategic decision-making, AI is reshaping how philanthropic organizations steward resources and extend their reach.
But as technology advances, important questions follow. How do we balance innovation with trust? Where does AI genuinely add value, and where does it introduce risk? How do we protect transparency, ethics, and mission integrity in a data-driven world?
This webinar recording offers a practical and values-driven exploration of AI in philanthropy. Designed as a guide in navigating rapid change, the conversation will highlight real-world applications, responsible adoption, and the importance of maintaining human touch in an increasingly digital world.

A perspective from Robert Collins, CEO & Global Managing Director of TrustBridge Global
“AI is already reshaping how donors discover, evaluate, and support causes. Generosity is becoming more data-driven, more influenced by algorithms, and more dependent on digital presence for charity discovery. For charity leaders, this creates both risk and opportunity. Organizations that remain invisible to these emerging systems will find it harder to access funding, regardless of the quality of their work. Those that engage, however, can reach new donors, tell their story more effectively, and demonstrate impact with greater clarity than ever before. The question is not whether AI belongs in philanthropy. That shift is already underway and will continue regardless of whether we approve. The real question is whether leaders are willing to engage with it thoughtfully and proactively. Used well, AI can strengthen trust, expand reach, and accelerate impact. Ignored or misunderstood, it can widen the gap between those who are seen and those who are overlooked.”
