As thousands of nonprofit leaders gather for Microsoft’s Global Nonprofit Leaders Summit, one theme is rising to the surface: nonprofits are ready to lead the next wave of AI transformation. They’re already the organizations communities turn to during moments of change, and AI is opening new possibilities to deepen that impact. To support this momentum, Microsoft is launching Elevate for Changemakers, a new initiative designed to help nonprofit professionals build the skills, confidence, and strategic capacity needed to guide responsible AI adoption.
What Elevate for Changemakers Offers
- AI for Nonprofits Professional Certificate — a sector‑specific learning path created with LinkedIn and NetHope.
- Live and on‑demand AI training — practical, nonprofit‑focused sessions covering Copilot, responsible AI, change management, and more.
- The Changemaker Fellowship — a global cohort for nonprofit professionals already driving AI adoption inside their organizations and ready to turn early efforts into long‑term transformation.
Across the sector, nonprofits are already using AI to reclaim staff time, scale programs, strengthen donor engagement, and modernize operations. These advances are being led by people inside organizations who are stepping into new roles—often without formal titles—because they see what’s possible.
Microsoft’s commitment is long‑term: investing in the tools, training, and partnerships that ensure AI’s benefits reach the communities nonprofits serve.
