From Passion to Funding: AI Tools That Help Animal Organizations Raise More
Thursday, October 1, 2026
9 – 10 a.m. PT
The animals need advocates. They also need funded organizations.
Join Ayelette Robinson, Fundraising Manager at Magical Creatures Sanctuary, for a practical look at how one sanctuary uses WIZE, an AI fundraising assistant, to:
- Research and write grants
- Plan and promote fundraising events
- Pitch media outlets
- Prepare board presentations
- Engage and steward donors
- Help a small volunteer team operate like a full development department
In this masterclass, she’ll show you that you don’t have to choose between caring for animals and building something sustainable. You can do both.
