A big thank you to VGM Group, Inc. for leading such a wonderful and engaging “AI for Good” session for CVNA members and nonprofit leaders!

The discussion was incredibly insightful (and fun) as we explored the evolving world of AI, Starter Agents, AI safety, and practical tools available through TechSoup for Nonprofits. The session provided valuable, actionable information that organizations can begin applying right away to better serve their communities and strengthen their missions.

We appreciate the expertise, thoughtful conversation, and commitment to helping nonprofits navigate technology responsibly and effectively. Excited to continue learning and exploring how AI can be used for good!
