Innovate 2026: Nonprofit Finance Leaders Confront AI, Capacity, and Change
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Nonprofit finance technology strategy is entering a new phase—and AI adoption is forcing leaders to rethink how teams operate, learn, and deliver impact.
Broadcast Live from Innovate 2026 in Washington, D.C., Jacqueline Tiso (Founder & CEO, JMT Consulting), Samantha Tiso (VP of Finance, JMT Consulting), and John Tiso (VP of Emerging Markets, JMT Consulting) share what nonprofit leaders are really facing when it comes to technology adoption.
Their dynamic isn’t just personal—it reflects what many nonprofit organizations are navigating right now: different generations, different learning styles, and a shared responsibility to move forward together.
Here’s the reality: nonprofits aren’t resisting innovation—they’re overwhelmed by it. Between daily operational demands and limited resources, the challenge isn’t access to tools—it’s finding the time, capacity, and strategy to use them effectively.
As Jacqueline explains, “Technology is driven by people… people think technology is driving them—but that’s actually not the case.” This shift in mindset is critical. AI isn’t replacing nonprofit professionals—it’s raising the bar for how they work.
Samantha brings it home with a practical warning: “If you don’t take the time to learn, you’re going to get left behind.” For nonprofit leaders, this means building intentional learning time into already full schedules—and treating training as a core operational investment, not a luxury.
And from a leadership standpoint, John Tiso emphasizes a critical skill: patience. As organizations adopt AI and new systems, leaders must create environments where learning curves are expected and supported—not rushed.
The trio also speak to:
Why AI adoption requires time, not just tools
How finance roles are evolving into strategic advisory positions
The importance of patience and personalization in multi-generational teams
Why nonprofit challenges haven’t changed in decades—and how technology can finally help address them
If you’re leading a nonprofit organization, managing finance, or evaluating new technology, this conversation and Innovate 2026 deliver a timely, grounded, and actionable perspective.
