Artificial Intelligence in Philanthropy: Aligning Innovation with Impact

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the philanthropic sector, sometimes in ways we cannot yet see. As AI becomes more embedded in the social impact space, it’s critical for funders to understand both the possibilities and the pitfalls.

Join Catalyst in partnership with the Technology Association of Grantmakers (TAG), a global leader in advancing technology in the philanthropic sector, for a foundational webinar on how AI is impacting our field. We will look at the latest data and trends and discuss what impactful, values-aligned adoption can look like. Together, we will explore how to approach AI with clarity, integrity, and purpose.

We recommend reading these resources from TAG ahead of the webinar:

• Responsible AI Adoption Framework
• State of Philanthropy Tech Report
• An AI Roadmap for Philanthropy in 2025
