In this inspiring conversation, Ted is joined by Allison Fine, President of Every.org, a visionary leader transforming how technology can empower generosity. Allison is one of the most influential voices in digital innovation for social good and co-author of The Smart Nonprofit: Staying Human-Centered in an Automated World (with Beth Kanter) and Momentum: Igniting Social Change in the Connected Age.
Together, Ted and Allison explore how artificial intelligence, automation, and donor-advised funds can make giving more joyful, relational, and human than ever before.
Key themes in this episode include:
AI for empathy: How technology can free up time for deeper donor relationships rather than replace them.
Relational fundraising at scale: Treating every donor like a million-dollar donor.
The Leaky Bucket Problem: Why Only 19% of Donors Give Again and How to Fix It.
DAFs as democratizers: Making philanthropy accessible, intentional, and emotionally rewarding.
International giving made simple: How platforms like Every.org remove friction and connect donors to global causes.
This episode showcases Allison’s forward-thinking perspective on how nonprofits can strike a balance between automation and authenticity, ultimately creating a more connected, generous, and joyful world of giving.
Whether you are a donor, advisor, sponsor, or nonprofit leader, you will find actionable ideas and renewed inspiration in this dynamic discussion.
