Your donor data holds the answers to raising more. Join fundraising expert Vicki Pugh from Advancement Experts and AI expert Caitlen Macias from BotQueen for this hands-on session. You'll learn how to use Large Language Models like Claude to analyze donor data and make smarter fundraising decisions with confidence. We'll show you how to organize your data into giving tiers so you can see your strengths, gaps, and opportunities clearly. By the end, you'll leave with a clearer picture of your donor base and practical tools you can put to work right away. If your team is ready to raise more, this session is for you.
