ENGOs and AI: Key Considerations As You Consider Incorporating It Into Your Nonprofit
Date: May 27, 1-2 PM ET
Cost: Free

This webinar is designed for executive directors, program managers, and team leads at environmental nonprofits who are feeling the pressure to "do something" about AI — but aren't sure where to start or whether it's even right for their organization. No technical background is required to participate.

In 60 focused minutes, you'll get an honest, jargon-free look at what AI can realistically do for mission-driven organizations — from drafting communications to synthesizing research — and where human judgment remains irreplaceable. You'll also get straight talk on the concerns ENGO leaders care about most: data privacy, environmental impact, and the risks of over-reliance.

Many small nonprofits and charities are managing their most important relationships across spreadsheets, sticky notes, disconnected email lists, and tools that don't talk to each other.

But imagine if you had a clear strategy for every relationship you manage. If you knew exactly who your donors, funders, volunteers, and community members are, where they are in their journey, and exactly what to do to turn one-time supporters into long-term advocates.

The nonprofits and charities that have built long-term financial resilience didn't get there by working longer hours or relying on one person's memory to keep everything running. They got there by building smarter systems that free up more time they can spend with the communities they are trying to serve.

In this live 6-part bootcamp, you'll build the relationship management infrastructure your mission has always deserved, and leave with a live system, a clear strategy, and the foundation to build real financial resilience.

How Canada's ENGO Leaders Are Getting Ahead on Responsible AI
Date: Apr 30, 1-2 PM ET
Cost: Free (Zoom Webinar)

Last summer, 15 ENGO leaders became the first environmental professionals in Canada to earn Responsible AI credentials. What did they learn? What changed in their organizations? And where is this heading next?

Join us on April 30 to hear directly from three ENGO leaders who experienced it — and to learn what Sustainability Network and Skills4Good AI are offering Canada’s ENGO community this year.

AI is already integrated into how many environmental organizations research, advocate, write grants, and communicate with funders and governments. This year we move from Responsible AI Literacy to the Responsible AI Audit, a systematic approach for identifying AI errors before they cause significant harm.

During the webinar we'll:
- Screen clips from last summer’s ENGO participants - CPAWS, The Riverwood Conservancy, Rare Charitable Research Reserve
- Describe Skills4Good AI’s three new Responsible AI Audit course streams, and
- Announce Sustainability Network’s Vision2030 summer sponsorship of these streams where webinar attendees will get first access to a limited number of subsidised spots.
