3 Things Nonprofit Leaders Should Use AI For and 3 Things They Shouldn’t (Ep. 58)

Artificial intelligence is changing how nonprofits work.

The question isn't whether your organization should use AI.

The better question is:

What should AI actually be doing?

In this episode of the Nonprofit Launch Plan Podcast for Startup, Small, and Growing Nonprofits, Matt Stockman shares a practical framework to help nonprofit leaders decide where AI creates real value—and where it can quietly undermine leadership if used carelessly.

Rather than replacing nonprofit leaders, AI should increase your capacity to do the work only humans can do.

Matt walks through three practical ways every nonprofit can begin using AI today, along with three critical leadership responsibilities that should never be outsourced to technology.

If you're an executive director, founder, development director, ministry leader, or nonprofit CEO trying to understand how AI fits into your organization, this episode offers practical guidance without the hype.
