AI and the Human Work of Fundraising

<p>Artificial intelligence has rapidly changed how people work, communicate, search online, write, and make decisions. And it's here to stay. </p><p> </p><p>For arts and cultural organizations, the questions now are: <strong>how can AI help fundraising, and where can </strong><em><strong>only</strong></em><strong> the human element advance philanthropy?</strong></p><p> </p><p>In this episode, RSC CEO Catherine Heitz New speaks with Founder Bob Swaney about that question. Bob’s view is practical and measured: AI can help fundraisers prepare better, communicate more clearly, and reduce unnecessary friction. It <em><strong>cannot</strong></em><em>, </em>however,<em><strong> </strong></em>replace trust, judgment, timing, or the human element needed to grow donor relationships.</p>
