Episode #86 | Optimizing AI for Nonprofit Success: Implementation Strategies with Josh Hirsch
In this episode we’re joined by AI educator, strategist, and nonprofit veteran Josh Hirsch. With nearly two decades of experience in the sector and a deep background in digital communications, fundraising, and training, Josh brings both wisdom and cutting-edge insights to a conversation that’s all about demystifying AI for nonprofits. We explore how generative and predictive AI are transforming everything from fundraising strategy to donor communication, programming, and internal operations. But more than that, Josh helps us understand how to talk to the tools—and why that’s the secret sauce for unlocking their full potential.
From building donor personas and campaign strategies to brainstorming new solutions in a time of federal funding loss and organizational uncertainty, this episode offers a hopeful and practical roadmap to what’s possible.
