The Human Advantage: Why Storytelling Matters More Than Ever in AI-Powered Healthcare Fundraising

February 25

2-3 pm ET  |  11 am - 12 pm PT

 
Kindsight's research from more than 1,000 healthcare donors reveals a paradox: familiarity with AI is rising fast, yet comfort and trust are not keeping pace. Donors recognize AI’s efficiency, but they are increasingly concerned about privacy, authenticity, and the loss of human connection especially in a sector where trust is deeply personal.

This session explores why storytelling is a strategic advantage in the age of AI. Drawing on new donor perception data, neuroscience, and real-world healthcare philanthropy examples, participants will learn how storytelling helps preserve trust, reinforce human connection, and guide ethical AI use without slowing innovation.

Rather than asking whether healthcare philanthropy should use AI, this session reframes the question: How do we use AI in ways that make us more human, not less?

Attendees will leave with practical frameworks for aligning AI, storytelling, and donor trust so technology supports generosity instead of undermining it.
