AI Implementation Strategies for Nonprofit Leaders | Whole Whale + Fundraise Up
About this episode
A live panel discussion on AI implementation strategies for nonprofit leaders, covering successes, failures, and ethical considerations.
AI Implementation Strategies for Nonprofit Leaders (Live Panel in Brooklyn, NY) Recorded live April 16, 2026 at Fundraise Up’s Brooklyn offices, this panel moderated by Megan Anhault (Whole Whale) brings together Amy Greenwood (Urban Assembly), Rodrigo Camarena (Scale Justice / JustDC Lab), George (Whole Whale / CauseWriter AI), and Joshua Peskay(Meet The Moment) to discuss what’s working—and quietly failing—in nonprofit AI adoption. They cover rapid AI capability growth, practical change management steps (licenses, sharing use cases, surveys), and real applications like automating format conversions, summarizing research, building tools quickly, and deploying a worker-rights legal information chatbot via web/WhatsApp/voice. The conversation also highlights risks: outdated chatbot content, trust and “work slop,” data privacy from free tools, the need for AI policies and accountability, ethical tradeoffs in high-stakes domains, and how AI is reshaping hiring and durable skills. 00:00 Live Panel Kickoff 01:14 Moderator Welcome and Goals 03:01 Meet the Panelists 04:14 Hype Cycle Reality Check 07:57 Building Modular AI Products 10:00 What’s Working in Practice 12:57 AI for Access to…
