AI Fundraising Build Pt. 3: Assessing Your Fundraising Program
Catholic Tech Table
Before you build a fundraising program, do you know what you already have and what is missing?In this episode, we begin building St. Jude Catholic Leadership Center’s annual giving program by using Pete AI to assess its current development infrastructure. We provide Pete with background information about the organization and ask it to identify existing assets, missing components, and the most logical order for moving forward.The assessment helps distinguish between what St. Jude already has, such as a strong mission, effective programs, and community goodwill, and what it lacks, including a formal case for support, consistent donor communications, reliable data systems, planning, stewardship, and clear fundraising goals.You’ll see how AI can serve as a diagnostic tool that helps a fundraiser understand the current landscape, identify priorities, and determine where to begin.A strong fundraising program starts with an honest assessment.
