Stories do more than communicate impact - they create connection.

In this video, Dr. Eva Wieners talks about how storytelling can help nonprofits move beyond facts and figures to build narratives that people genuinely remember and connect with.

The conversation touches on emotional connection, donor engagement, communicating impact, and why storytelling remains such an important part of nonprofit communication and fundraising.

Most nonprofits are experimenting with AI right now…

But very few are actually using it well.

Here’s what I’m seeing:
→ Teams copying ChatGPT outputs directly into donor emails
→ Generic messaging that sounds nothing like their organization
→ Missed opportunities to actually improve fundraising strategy

AI isn’t the problem. How we use it is.

The real shift?
AI should enhance your fundraising - not replace your voice.

In this session, Dr. Eva Wieners breaks down:
• What AI really means for fundraising
• Where it actually saves time
• The risks most nonprofits ignore
• How to use it without losing authenticity

If you're working in fundraising or nonprofit communications, this is something you need to get right early.

You’re using AI for fundraising.

But here’s the uncomfortable question:
Is it actually helping or just making everything sound the same?

Most fundraising professionals we speak to are already experimenting with AI…

Yet they’re stuck editing bland drafts, second-guessing outputs, and wondering why it’s not saving as much time as promised.

The problem isn’t AI. It’s how it’s being used. In this live masterclass, Dr. Eva Wieners will show you how to turn AI into a tool that actually works for fundraising not against it.

You’ll learn how to:
Write donor messages that feel human, not robotic
Get high-quality results with smarter prompts
Adapt your messaging across campaigns effortlessly
Cut hours from your workflow (without losing your voice)
Avoid the mistakes that make AI content fall flat

Event Details:
Date: 29 April 2026
Time: 11:00 to 13:00 AM (CET)
Where: Live on Zoom
Fee: USD 129
