AFP program session
I serve on the board of the Association of Fundraising Professionals Collier-Lee Chapter in Florida. We're planning a session on AI and its use and place in philanthropy. We'd like to invite an organization that helps nonprofits use AI to the panel discussion. The session will be from 8:30-9:30 a.m. July 23rd.
Copilot nonprofit grant proposal/request/suggestion
Having recently attended Microsoft 365 Community Conference in Florida I came away with a far better understanding of how Copilot could be so useful in the nonprofit sector but that the cost is real block for nonprofits I deal with so wanted to share (partial) email I sent to try to spread the word a bit .. "Whilst I’m pretty up on things in the 365 area, I did find the various (!) sessions on Copilot very useful to me in moving my somewhat sceptical pre-conference thoughts on AI/Copilot in general 🙄 to a realisation of just how useful this could be, especially with the Copilot for Microsoft 365 integration with tenant data, to all of course but especially to SMB’s and nonprofits that I deal with. It’s a fantastic new tool across the spectrum of 365 apps and with SMB’s and nonprofits having little if any internal IT resources to help, I believe it can prove to be of major benefit to them, providing the knowledge, data and reporting that traditionally they’d turn to IT folks for and that’s not counting the productivity and AI benefits outlined throughout the conference on top. My wave of enthusiasm for Copilot is tempered however with the realisation of the significant cost of Copilot ($30 / month / user) as that even at the corporate level must be a tough call to justify but for SMB’s it’s vastly worse with their limited financial resources to try and come up with decent ROI details and for nonprofits, who I mainly now work with these days, it’s effectively impossible to consider, even to the extent that I doubt many will even get the chance to look at or use it at all! Given that Microsoft do a great job with providing the various offers and grants for nonprofits currently (the two main nonprofits I work with currently benefit tremendously from the Business Basic licences across the board, the 10 user Business Premium grant and the Azure $2000 / annum amongst everything) so it would be so useful if say a 10 or even 5 user licence for Copilot could be provided on a grant basis (as with the Business Premium) so that nonprofits could at least get a chance to try Copilot with then perhaps a reduced price for them on a licence basis over and beyond the initial 5/10 grant ones." I don't know what others think, especially Microsoft :), but does this strike a chord with anyone? Thanks - Derek Papworth
Integrate MS AI into our 3rd party app
Is there a way to integrate AI (copilot) into our 3rd party app? Our app is used by large number of users to access technical content. They have to navigate through tons of content which is not very efficient. The AI for example could based on the user profile, push matching content on the top. This is just one example, there are many more. I am not sure whether MS NP division has any dedicated team who collaborate with NP organisations like us on such needs, is there a way to contact someone there? Luckily, I found this community while looking for ways to contact MS. I can already see some interesting discussions in different sections.Invitation to join our Avanade Nonprofit Leaders Copilot Community!
Our team at Avanade has been working relentlessly alongside Microsoft to prioritize bringing the benefits of Generative AI to the Third Sector with priority. Three weeks ago during our annual Nonprofit Innovation Summit in Barcelona we had the privilege to spend time on the subject with many NGO leaders in a two-day expert session; we set out to navigate the complexities of responsible AI adoption based on our early work with forward thinking NGO's. Being on this journey and learning together is an embodiment of our organization’s mission: To do what matters and advance the world through the power of people and Microsoft. If you would like to join our vibrant community drop me a note!
Early insights from the AI Readiness Survey
Earlier, we announced our AI Readiness Survey -- we're still gathering sample, but we thought we'd share some early insights from more than 500 organizations who've already taken part. Overwhelmingly, these results show the need for ongoing collaboration, education, and experimentation around AI. We’re excited for you to read these insights and share them with your communities. We plan to analyze and release a detailed report of the findings from the survey this summer. If you haven’t yet, we invite you to take the survey or share it with your networks. The AI Readiness Survey is conducted by the GivingTuesday Data Commons in partnership with Fundraising.AI and with generous support from Microsoft.
