About this episode

The episode discusses how AI can enhance major gift fundraising while maintaining personal connections with donors.

In this episode of The Responsive Lab, Carly and Scott sit down with Griff Bohm. As one of the founders of Momentum, an AI-powered donor engagement platform for mid-level & major gifts, Griff brings unique insights into how artificial intelligence can transform fundraising without losing the human connection that drives giving. You'll hear about: • Starting with problems instead of solutions when adopting AI tools • Building major gift programs that leverage technology to create more donor time • Understanding why major giving continues to grow as a percentage of overall fundraising • Recognizing donor expectations for personalized, impact-focused communication • Preparing teams for an AI-enhanced fundraising future • Identifying practical AI applications that remove friction from daily work • Creating systems that amplify relationship-building rather than replace it Links: Connect with Griff: https://www.linkedin.com/in/griffinbohm/ Learn more about Momentum: https://virtuous.org/momentum/ Looking for technology that helps you build deeper donor relationships with less work from your team?
