Put Florida's Philanthropy Data Inside Your AI Assistant

As part of Florida Philanthropic Network’s partnership with Impala, members have access to a new way to use the Florida Philanthropy Hub through the AI tools they already use.

In this members-only webinar, the Impala team will demonstrate how to connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and other AI assistants directly to Impala’s data through its new MCP connector. Participants will learn how to ask questions in plain English and receive answers grounded in verified data on Florida funders, nonprofits, grants, and funding trends.

The session will feature live examples of how the tool can support funder research, grantmaking, landscape analysis, and nonprofit prospect research. Attendees will also learn how to use the connector, what access is included, and how data remains secure and verifiable.

Who Should Attend

FPN member foundations, including development, grantmaking, program, and research staff. No technical background is required.
