Summary

AI won’t replace your voice, but it can help amplify it. I’ve been talking with so many fundraisers who want to try AI but worry their donor communication will start sounding robotic. I get it. Authenticity matters more than ever in twenty‑twenty‑six. On this week’s Intentional Fundraiser Podcast , I’m sharing how I use AI to draft and refine messages that still sound like me, while saving precious time for deeper donor connections. How are you feeling about using AI in your fundraising communication? Listen to “Writing Donor Messages with AI, Not by AI” and share it with your team or leadership today.
