This episode features Shannon McCracken, the CEO of The Nonprofit Alliance (TNPA), who brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to the nonprofit sector. Recognized by The NonProfit Times as a Power & Influence Top 50 Honoree in 2022 and 2023, Shannon has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to effect change across multiple areas of nonprofit operations.

Moreover, the NonProfit Times lauds her for her remarkable impact: "It is astonishing how much and how quickly one person can impact multiple silos of the nonprofit sector. McCracken has expanded an association for direct response fundraising to almost every aspect of running a nonprofit, especially regulation and professional education. She's made room under the tent to strengthen all associations and charities. Her impact is felt nationwide."

During today's conversation, Shannon explores the multifaceted impact of AI on nonprofits, highlighting its role in scaling solutions, enhancing donor connections, and leveling the playing field for smaller organizations. She also discusses data privacy, the need for federal regulation, and the importance of equipping staff with AI fluency to maintain competitiveness.

Moreover, Shannon passionately describes how AI can help nonprofits operate more efficiently, freeing up staff to focus on meaningful human connections. She explores AI's potential to improve DEI outcomes and stresses the importance of maintaining trust within nonprofits. Finally, she provides actionable steps to get involved with TNPA's advocacy efforts and the importance of proactive engagement with AI to ensure its benefits are fully realized while mitigating potential risks.
