Artificial intelligence is movi ng fast — and nonprofits are figuring out how to p ut it to work. Join Management Advisory Services a nd the Allard Prize Foundation for a free 90-minut e webinar that goes beyond the hype to share three real AI implementations\, what worked\, what didn 't\, and what's next.

Case Studies

\n \n

Presenter: Preet Noor\, Director of Operations\, Allard Prize Found ation

The Allard Prize recogn izes individuals making significant contributions to fighting corruption worldwide. With the need to build a new generation of major donors to sustain the foundation's mission\, we developed an AI-pow ered donor outreach system that monitors the inter net for meaningful connections between potential d onors and the foundation's work — then recommends timely\, personalized outreach to deepen those rel ationships.

Case Study 2: The MAS Virtual Consultant Chatbot

\n \n

Presenter: Brian Flett\, MAS Volunteer Consultant\n \n

New volunteers join MAS on a regular ba sis.  We needed a way to quickly get them up to sp eed on our internal processes\, and to help them l everage the vast experience of our existing volunt eer consultants (VC's).  Our existing VC's were al so looking for a way to connect with their peers\, learn about upcoming projects\, and share experie nces. This case study covers how an AI chatbot was designed as part of a new VC Portal\, what it can and can't do\, and how it's being used.
