AI and FUNDRAISING
AI is becoming a practical tool in modern fundraising. More and more organizations use AI to identify new donor leads, build engagement strategies, and support proposal writing and editing. When used well, AI can save time, improve quality and consistency, and strengthen fundraising workflows.
HVFC has closely followed these developments. We actively test AI tools in real fundraising work and have learned what actually helps fundraisers—and what does not. One key insight: AI only adds value when it supports good fundraising practice. The human side of fundraising remains essential. Relationships, judgment, and strategy cannot be outsourced to AI . Using AI well still requires experience and clear guidance.
That is why we work with Anzanote. Together, we help organizations use AI in fundraising in a practical and responsible way. Our focus is on improving productivity, safeguarding quality, and making fundraising teams more future-proof—without losing the human touch that fundraising depends on.
We support organizations in adopting AI at a pace and level that fits their capacity and goals. No one-size-fits-all approach. We start from your fundraising reality and tailor the setup, tools, and workflows to what you actually need.
Interested in exploring how AI can strengthen your fundraising? We are happy to discuss how we can support your team. You can also let us know if you would like to be the first to hear about our upcoming “AI and Fundraising – Training for Beginners.”
