Using Data Science to Power Philanthropy
Maximizing Philanthropy with Artificial Intelligence with Colin Stewart
With recent political events, philanthropy is on the minds of many people.
For charitable organizations, the mad rush to meet their goals underscores many challenges they face. Understaffed, under-resourced, and using old tools, non-profits face an uphill climb every year.
By using marketing technology, artificial intelligence and data science tools, a new company is trying to help with this problem.
Arjuna Solutions applies the same marketing concepts and data science found at the top consumer companies in the world to the non-profit space.
To take us through the idea of how technology and the non-profit space can intersect, I spoke with Colin Stewart.
Colin leads Arjuna’s groundbreaking philanthropic practice, which enables nonprofits to adopt new technologies and increase revenue more easily via philanthropic funding.
We focused on how non-profit organizations can increase their revenue through more data-driven and targeted asks.
Finally, we talked about how HNW donors and charities can deepen their relationships and multiply the impact of major gifts in measurable ways through technology.
