How AI will reshape the economy, and what that means for giving

A new wave of AI-driven wealth creation is minting philanthropists faster than at any point in recent history. Private foundation endowments are growing, DAF accounts are surging, and planned estates are expanding — creating what many experts are calling the biggest fundraising opportunity in a generation.

The development teams pulling ahead right now aren't just submitting more grant applications. They're rethinking how foundation funding, DAFs, and planned giving work together as one connected opportunity. The same AI wealth wave lifting foundation endowments is also flowing into DAFs, major gifts, and planned giving, creating new opportunities across every fundraising channel.

Join Patrick Schmitt, co-CEO of FreeWill, for a practical session on what this moment means for your organization and how to modernize your approach to meet it.

In this webinar, we'll cover:

• What the AI wealth wave is and why it matters for nonprofits right now
• How to use AI-powered tools to research, prioritize, and write stronger grant proposals — cutting through a more crowded field than ever before
• Why your foundation funders and your DAF donors are often the same people, and how to build a strategy that captures both
• Creative, relationship-first approaches to high-net-worth and foundation engagement that go way beyond the standard application portal
