GoodDeeds.AI — INTRO: An estimate of 15% of funds donated to nonprofits are wasted due to inefficiencies. This translates to $100B+ in yearly wasted donations in the U.S. alone. We want to help minimize this waste and increase philanthropy ROI by empowering nonprofits to access more relevant funding and deploy it more effectively.PROBLEM: Despite their bestintentions, many NGO teams, particularly smaller ones, lack the resources and expertise to design and execute high-impact projects effectively. Teams with limited resources also often lack the ability to access relevant funding. These gaps usually lead to NGOs underperforming, important causes unfunded, and wasted billions of dollars in donor funds. SOLUTION: GoodDeeds utilize recent advancement in AI, along with the largely publicly-accessible data on NGOs and impact projects to provide NGO teams with the “ImpactCopilots” - suite of AI-powered virtual assistants, tailored to individual roles and tasks. These copilots help increase the team’s productivity and enhance their skills, thus expanding NGOs capacities, growth and impact.SOLUTION GoodDeeds utilize recent advancement in AI, along with the largely publicly-accessible data on NGOs and impact projects to provide NGO teams with the “ImpactCopilots” - suite of AI-powered virtual assistants, tailored to individual roles and tasks.
