A donor\u2019s giving journey begins with asking their AI agent to identify a charitable organization or initiative, make a recommendation, and even donate on their behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For example, a donor might prompt their AI agent with the following:<\/p>\n<p><em>Show me a list of well-known nonprofits in my community addressing food insecurity.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The AI agent will then provide recommended options. Once a donor confirms a campaign to donate to, chooses a donation amount, and authorizes the transaction, the AI agent completes the donation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If donors aren\u2019t comfortable with an AI agent completing the gift, it can instead find and recommend an organization or campaign,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> present donation options for the donor\u2019s input, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">then hand the process back to the donor to complete the transaction themselves.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Where generative AI tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/chatgpt-for-nonprofits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ChatGPT<\/a> may influence who a donor gives to, AI agents help them complete the action.<\/p>\n<p>While the donor remains in charge of whether to donate or not, the AI agent recommends <em>which <\/em>organization to give to <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and completes the donation once authorized<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The table below breaks down the key differences between generative AI and agentic AI based on donor usage:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<table id=\"tablepress-103\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-103\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Generative AI<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Agentic AI<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Generates, summarizes, and explains information<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Autonomously plans and executes multi-step workflows to achieve goals<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Helps donors research and compare nonprofits and their specific causes (e.g., nonprofits supporting clean-water initiatives)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Researches, finds, and recommends fundraising campaigns, and facilitates an authorized donation based on a prompt (e.g., Give me a list of nonprofits supporting clean-water initiatives)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Tends to guide the conversation<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Sets the goal and authorizes relevant actions after being prompted<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Supports donor research and decision-making<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Supports the full donor journey (from research to completing a donation)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-103 from cache --><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a id=\"post-124396-_w7cxfbxts5b6\"><\/a>Why Prepare for Agentic Donations?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI is already changing the way donors search online.

What are agentic donations and how do they work?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agentic donations are charitable contributions facilitated by an autonomous AI agent. The AI agent can research and recommend causes to donate to based on a donor\u2019s preferences and complete a gift once the donor authorizes it.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a id=\"post-124396-_rkfsdyu5dpuy\"><\/a>2. How can my organization accept agentic donations?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organizations with a U.S. Stripe account can gain early access to Donorbox\u2019s Agentic Donations feature, enabling them to accept agentic donations to campaigns created on the platform. This means AI agents can find your campaign on Stripe Directory, recommend it to a donor, and fill in the gift amount and other donation details based on the donor\u2019s input before handing it over to the donor to complete the transaction on your Donorbox campaign page. If Stripe Link is pre-configured, the AI agent can also complete the donation within the chat with the donor\u2019s authorization.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>3. Is agentic giving the future of fundraising?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agentic giving is still an emerging concept and has not yet replaced traditional giving methods. However, as more donors turn to AI tools to find nonprofits, agentic giving is already connecting the discovery phase to the act of giving.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>4<a id=\"post-124396-_6caxy5c3m8sz\"><\/a>. Why should my nonprofit prepare for agentic giving?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zero-click search and chatbot queries are replacing traditional online search behavior.
