Synopsis

The funding environment has changed. Has your nonprofit changed with it?

Nonprofits are confronting a difficult new reality: greater competition for grants, rising demand for services, donor attrition, overstretched development teams, and increasing pressure to build sustainable revenue.

At the same time, artificial intelligence is giving nonprofit leaders capabilities that were previously available only to organizations with large fundraising, research, data, and finance teams.

The Intelligent Fundraiser shows nonprofit leaders how to put those capabilities to work—responsibly, strategically, and practically.

Rather than treating AI as another technology trend, Godwin Ude, MBA, PhD, examines a more consequential question:

Can AI help nonprofits build stronger fundraising systems and become financially resilient?

Built around the practical R.A.I.S.E. Framework, the book provides a roadmap for five critical areas of nonprofit financial sustainability:

RETAIN — Identify donors at risk of leaving and strengthen donor stewardship before relationships are lost.

ACQUIRE — Use data and AI to find prospective donors, personalize engagement, and improve giving experiences.

IDENTIFY — Move beyond the “spray-and-pray” approach to grant seeking by identifying funders and opportunities your organization is genuinely positioned to win.

SCALE — Augment small fundraising, development, grant-writing, and finance teams so they can accomplish more without simply adding headcount.

ENDURE — Build a diversified and resilient revenue architecture capable of surviving funding shocks and changing economic conditions.

But this is not a book about replacing fundraisers with machines.

It is about using AI to remove administrative bottlenecks while preserving what technology cannot replace: human relationships, trust, judgment, stewardship, empathy, and mission.

Inside, you'll explore how AI can support:

• Donor retention and churn prediction
• Personalized donor stewardship
• Major-gift and donor prospecting
• Grant and funder intelligence
• AI-assisted proposal development
• Fundraising workflow automation
• Development-team productivity
• Financial forecasting and back-office visibility
• Revenue diversification
• Ethical AI governance
• Long-term financial resilience

Written for executive directors, development directors, fundraising professionals, nonprofit CFOs, grant professionals, board members, consultants, and social-impact leaders, The Intelligent Fundraiser translates AI from technological hype into practical fundraising and financial strategy.

The future of nonprofit fundraising will not belong to organizations that simply use more AI. It will belong to organizations that know where—and where not—to use it.

Retain. Acquire. Identify. Scale. Endure.
