The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation’s Post

For me, this interview with / quote from, Vilas Dhar at The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, sums up exactly how we should be thinking about AI (and technology more broadly). “I think too often, we have lived in a paradigm where technology is something that’s used against us. Sometimes it’s something that is done to us, and maybe in a few glimmers of hope, it’s done for us. But very rarely […] is technology something that’s done by us. If ever there was an urgent need (not just a coolness design motivation) for human centered design, it is now. But we need the right people at the table to design for the multitude of problems we face as a species, in order to turn them into opportunities. I hope more organizations have The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation at the table.

T - 1 week until the Impact Partners Summit! Who will I see out in the Bay? 🌉 I’m so excited to be taking the stage to talk about “Ecosystem-Led Growth” 💚 And after dozens and dozens of webinars & podcasts.. finally getting to present in person! 🎉 I’m a firm believer in the potential of the impact economy - and that our world will need a significantly larger & stronger impact-based economy to make it long-term 🌎 In this session I’ll be highlighting some of the most common challenges impact businesses face to sustainably grow and how those can be reframed as opportunities 🖼️ And I’ll give specific examples of where those hurdles showed up for Pond and how we’re making them launching pads at Chariot 🐸 Spoiler alert - it’s all about a deeper understanding of the impact ecosystem and aligning your business for mutual benefits all around 🙏🏼 Excited to see you there! #nonprofit #philanthropy #fundraising #startup #socialimpact

I couldn’t agree more with Kate Behncken, that AI holds immense potential to transform the work that non-profits do on a day-to-day basis. From improving early warning systems to streamlining disaster response, Microsoft and our partners are at the helm of helping non-profits unlock the power of AI to create a brighter future for all.      Tune into the full episode of the EY podcast to learn more about how we’re collaborating with partners to empower non-profits around the world.    #Nonprofit #AIforGood #MicrosoftAI

I don’t know about you, but I love a good, insightful prediction! 🔮 Some people may think that predictions about the state of the world are somewhere between hubris and a distraction. 🙅🏾♀️ I don’t agree at all. There are people who are experts in what they do, and we’re only made stronger and more effective in our own work when they graciously leverage that expertise to help us on our journey: ➡ What to look out for ➡ What to prepare for ➡ Where to expend energy ➡ What we can afford to ignore. That’s why I invited a group of incredible nonprofit experts and leaders to share their 2024 predictions about social impact work. In this week’s episode of the "Nonprofit Mastermind Podcast," you’ll hear 8 predictions from some of our sector’s most influential experts in fundraising, tech, operations, and marketing. Contributors: 🎯 Tim Lockie's insights on non-tech human roles. 🎯 Perry Radford's take on engagement-centered fundraising. 🎯 Heather Nelson, MBA, CFRE's views on corporate partnerships. 🎯 Christina Tzavaras Edwards' predictions on fundraising and growth. 🎯 Danielle Gines' forecast on programming and development. 🎯 Kel Haney's fundraising insights. 🎯 Rachel Bearbower 🌱 on productivity and systems. 🎯 Rhea Wong's perspective on presence and authenticity.

Hear my thoughts, along with other industry experts, on what the nonprofit sector is going to experience this year.

I listened to two podcasts today while doing some yardwork. The first was Alexander Lapa's interview with Paul Morris on the Agents of Nonprofit podcast: https://lnkd.in/eYFP5_9m. The second was Accenture's Built for Change episode on Spatial Computing: https://lnkd.in/ezPrTxQE. It was an interesting contrast with Morris and Lapa discussing the fears and constraints (often self-imposed) nonprofits must overcome to innovate while Built for Change features artists and organizations who are able to dream and change paradigms in part because they are well-funded and supported. The biggest challenges (and they are BIG) facing us as a society can absolutely be solved through working together and sharing knowledge, data, and resources. Who has great stories of companies and nonprofits working together to tackle problems? Who is inspiring you today?
