AI can save your nonprofit time—but where do you start without sacrificing the human relationships at the heart of your mission?
In this episode of The Nonprofit Nook, Wendy Kidd sits down with Rachael Leventhal Garnett of EAAS AI to make AI feel practical, approachable, and useful for nonprofit leaders.
They unpack the difference between AI and automation, how to identify repetitive tasks worth streamlining, and why your organization needs clear AI guardrails—even if you haven't officially adopted AI yet.
You'll also hear why Rachael believes the best AI strategy starts with people, not technology, and how keeping a human in the loop can help your organization use AI responsibly while creating more capacity for mission-driven work.
