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 show you how to connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, or any other AI assistant directly to Impala's data through its new MCP connector. You'll be able to ask a question in plain English, like "Which foundations funded youth mental health organizations in Miami-Dade last year, and how much did they give?", and get an answer grounded in verified data on Florida's 27,700 funders and 171,200 nonprofits, and on millions more across the country. Because you can ask freely and combine the data in new ways, you can even answer questions that go beyond what any dashboard was built to show.
Whether you're a funder mapping the landscape before your next round of grants, or a nonprofit researching the right funders to approach, this session will show you how to do that research faster, in your own words, with the source attached to every answer.
Who Should Attend
FPN member foundations, including development, grantmaking, program, and research staff. No technical background is required.

A Note on Access
The MCP is included with your Impala account at no extra cost, including free accounts. If you're an active FPN member and haven't joined the Florida Philanthropy Hub yet, you can do that in about two minutes, and this session will show you how to get the most from it.
