Dale Nirvani Pfeifer
Author of Artificial Intelligence for Nonprofit Fundraising. CEO of Giving Compass.
Two million donors a year come to Giving Compass to decide where to give. Dale speaks about what happens to that decision when an AI makes it first.
Signature talks
The Invisible Middle
What happens to everyone who was findable in the search era and is not in the recommendation era.
Donors increasingly meet causes through recommendations, not searches, and organizations that were easy to find are becoming easy to miss. This talk shows event audiences where the invisible middle is forming and what it takes to stay in the answer.
Based on search behaviour across two million annual users of Giving Compass.
Where Judgment Lives
AI did not make the work faster. It moved the decisions that matter.
AI now drafts the appeal, ranks the prospects, and suggests the ask, which means the human work has moved to deciding what goes out and why. This talk maps where judgment sits now and which decisions should never leave human hands.
The central argument of Artificial Intelligence for Nonprofit Fundraising.
The Trust Test
Whether to admit you used AI, and what it costs either way.
Every organization using AI faces the same quiet question: do we tell donors, and how. This talk works through what disclosure earns, what silence risks, and how to set a standard before someone else sets it for you.
Drawn from funder and grantee interviews across the 2026 giving season.
