Frequently Asked Questions About AI for NPOs

1. Where should my non-profit begin with AI if we have no budget and no IT team?

The best starting point is to focus on a single, high-pain, low-complexity problem. Our guide to the 10 best AI tools for charities highlights several platforms with robust free versions, like Canva AI for design or Otter.ai for meeting notes, allowing you to demonstrate value without any financial investment.

2. How can we use AI for fundraising and grant writing?

Generative AI is a powerful assistant for these tasks. You can use it to draft initial versions of grant proposals, personalise donor appeal emails, and research funder priorities. For a step-by-step guide on how to give the AI the right instructions, see The Nonprofit's Prompting Playbook.

3. What are the biggest ethical risks we need to consider?

The primary risks for South African NPOs are ensuring POPIA compliance when handling personal data and mitigating the potential for algorithmic bias. Our guide on ethical AI for nonprofits provides a complete framework for responsible adoption, including the non-negotiable "human in the loop" principle.

4. How do we get our team to actually use these new tools?

Successful technology adoption is about people, not just software. The key is to communicate a clear vision, provide practical training, and appoint an internal "champion" to support the team. This entire process is covered in our Ultimate Guide to AI for Nonprofits in South Africa.
