About the Summit

Trust is what this sector runs on.

The Fundraising.AI Global Summit is where the nonprofit sector explores what responsible AI actually looks like.

Over two days, we bring together fundraisers, marketers, technologists, and executive directors from all over the world to dive into what's working, what to watch for, and how to be human-first & AI-forward.

  • Confident teams. Turn AI overwhelm into steady, capable adoption.
  • Trust you can prove. Equip your team by providing strong AI governance and ethics.
  • Time back for real work. Learn how AI frees fundraisers up for the human parts of your role.
  • Donors who stay engaged. Keep up with how donor expectations are shifting.

Three tracks

Built for where you are.

Responsible AI for Leaders

Track one

This is for you if you lead AI strategy at your organization, or you're helping your team navigate AI.

What we cover: governance and ethics you put into action, adoption that turns overwhelm into confidence, and the trust you can prove to your board and donors.

AI in Practice

Track two

This is for you if you want practical action, tools, and takeaways you can use the next day.

What we cover: personal connection at scale, data you can use for decision making, time back for the human parts of the role, and real results from nonprofits already doing it.

AI Sparks

Track three

This is for you if you want big ideas in short, sharp doses: provocative, candid, and full of aha moments.

What we cover: the human skills no model can replace, the edges of agentic AI, and what to stop doing (and what to keep human).

FAQ

Everything you need to know.

Is the Summit really free?

Yes. Registration is free and covers both days, every keynote, and the breakout tracks. Our sponsors make that possible.

Who is this for?

Anyone working in or for the nonprofit fundraising profession: fundraising staff, marketers, ops and data people, and executive directors, regardless of AI experience. The door is open to anyone committed to using technology for the greater good.

Do I need AI experience to attend?

No. Whether you are just starting with AI or already deep into it, there is a track built for where you are. Neither track is the advanced one; they just lead to different outcomes.

What if I can't attend live?

Register anyway. Session recordings are sent to all registrants after the event.

How do the three tracks work?

Both days run three breakout tracks between the opening and closing keynotes. You can move between them freely.
