QLD AI Hub Sunshine Coast - AI for Nonprofits Forum

Brought to you by the Queensland AI Hub’s Sunshine Coast Chapter Directors Dr Karen Sutherland and Craig Joisc.

Demystify AI for your nonprofit organisation
The rapid evolution of AI can feel overwhelming. Here’s the reality: 76% of nonprofits are already using AI and are experiencing real improvements in their marketing and operations. Their AI use is not replacing humans, it’s helping humans work more efficiently, reaching more people, and supporting their missions better with limited budgets and resources.

This event has been designed specifically for nonprofit organisations to learn tangible AI skills, share best practice in the sector and to overcome the challenges together relating to AI use.

What we’ll cover:
🎯 AI Overview & Governance Understand what AI can (and should) do for nonprofits.
💡 Real Use Cases See how AI can be used to improve marketing and other operations.
🛠️ Hands-On Custom GPT Workshop Build your own AI assistant tailored to your organisation's needs.
🗣️ Expert Panel Discussion Get your questions answered by people in the sector who have successful integrated AI into their operations.
☕ Morning Tea Networking Connect with fellow nonprofit professionals facing the same challenges.

Who should attend?
Anyone working at a nonprofit who wants to understand how AI can help their organisation work more efficiently and reach more people without the tech confusion.

Dr Karen Sutherland, Co-Director of the Qld AI Hub’s Sunshine Coast Chapter, Senior Lecturer at UniSC, and Director of Dharana Digital leads our expert lineup, alongside local AI specialists and nonprofit leaders sharing real case studies and practical solutions.
