As a donor, do you ever question whether your donations are having the impact you expect? Do you often feel like you are just writing checks to organizations because they asked or because it makes you feel good?
Over the past eight years, our program, Giving for Impact, has made a tremendous difference in how people donate and partner with nonprofits.
The sole purpose of our training is to equip attendees with knowledge and help in developing relationships with the nonprofit community. The training encourages individuals to learn more about who they are as donors by teaching them to identify their personal mission, vision, and core values to create charitable impact. As a donor, they will be equipped to know how to find fulfillment in their giving.
Once an individual understands who they are as a donor, the program will build on that understanding by equipping them with knowledge of what a strong nonprofit organization looks like. Donors will learn how to ask the right questions when meeting with a nonprofit and how to determine if they are actually making a difference. Participants will learn what a healthy nonprofit partnership looks like and be able to create their own personal plan and philosophy of giving.
The 2026 Level I sessions are planned for March 5 and April 9.
Giving for Impact is a great training program for individual donors as well as family foundations, financial advisors, wealth managers, CPA’s, estate planners, attorneys or trust advisors. Regardless if you donate $50.00 per year or $50,000.00 per year, Giving for Impact is for anyone who desires to have a clearer understanding of themselves as a donor and has a desire to make a greater impact through their giving.
Jamie D. Levy, from JDLevy & Associates, an international speaker, consultant, and adjunct professor at Indiana University School of Philanthropy, IU Fund Raising School, and IU Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environment Affairs (IU SPEA), will guide you through understanding the strategies involved in making wise decisions regarding your philanthropic giving.

Help or Harm: AI in Grantmaking - Rural & Beyond
2026-05-20 12:30 - 13:30 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | Online
Is AI leveling the field or raising the bar?
Many Midwest funders are noticing a surge in grant applications – and wondering whether AI is helping or harming the philanthropic process. At the same time, rural nonprofits – and often nonprofits in other geographies – consistently cite limited capacity as one of their biggest barriers to engaging in the grantmaking process.
This session shares emerging research and real-world observations on how AI is being used throughout the nonprofit sector and how funders are experiencing the resulting shifts in volume, clarity, storytelling, and capacity across rural nonprofits. Together, we’ll explore both sides of the equation: AI as a potential equalizer for small, often volunteer-driven rural organizations, and AI as a force that may overwhelm funder systems or obscure genuine organizational needs.
The conversation will focus on what’s actionable now: responsible AI use, equity considerations, and how funders can adapt their processes to maintain trust, discernment, and alignment with community priorities. Participants will leave with practical strategies and a clearer sense of where AI can support their work – and where human discernment matters most.
Grounded in the realities of rural philanthropy, this session will include information transferable to any geographic setting.
Session Objectives

Examine the emerging impacts of AI adoption in rural grant seeking and rural grantmaking.
Share early findings from research on how funders perceive increased application volume, shifts in proposal quality, and potential inequities created or reduced by AI.
Identify practical, right-sized actions rural funders – and those working in other geographies – can take to integrate AI responsibly, reduce administrative burdens, and maintain human-centered philanthropic judgment.

Free for IPA members. $50 for non-members.
