Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping how nonprofits operate, communicate, and serve their communities. In this discussion, experts from The Do Good Institute at the University of Maryland and Compass Pro Bono joined TIFF Investment Management to share how organizations can approach AI adoption strategically, drawing from Compass Pro Bono’s own implementation journey — what worked, what didn’t, and what others can learn.

Key Takeaways:

• AI can significantly increase nonprofit efficiency when adopted thoughtfully. AI is already embedded in many common tools, and when used intentionally, it can augment human work and free staff to focus more time on mission-driven activities.
• Building a responsible, intentional AI strategy is essential for success. Compass Pro Bono’s experience shows that clear policies, targeted use cases, staff training, and a culture of experimentation create the foundation for safe and effective integration.
• AI can meaningfully redirect staff capacity toward high-value work. Teams can reclaim several hours per week—sometimes 10–12—by automating routine tasks and enhancing critical thinking tasks, allowing more time for strategy, storytelling, and stakeholder engagement.
