From AI Pilots to AI Practice: A Peer Roundtable for Philanthropy Leaders
An invite-only conversation for foundation leaders ready to move past the AI hype cycle and talk honestly about what’s actually working, and what isn’t, with AI in grantmaking and portfolio strategy.
Whether your foundation is just starting to explore AI or already deep into adoption, this conversation meets you where you are. You’ll hear directly from peer foundations on real experiments, real failures, and what they’d do differently, through both large-group discussion and small breakouts.

About Our Panelists
Kaisha Vilcinor
As the Grants and Information Systems Manager at the William Penn Foundation, Kaisha enhances the use of Salesforce and other data systems foundation-wide. Previously, she worked at Philadelphia Futures where she revamped their data management processes and systems.
Roger Mack
Roger is Director of Technology at the Bezos Family Foundation, where he runs infrastructure and security, and navigates where technology belongs in a mission-driven organization. Roger has spent 25 years in the sector, with the last 12 focusing on the intersection of technology and education, where he learned that good strategy isn’t about chasing every new tool, but about knowing which ones earn a place in the work. He’s especially interested in how nonprofits can adopt AI thoughtfully, and automating busy work while keeping relationships—site visits, funding decisions, and the stuff that actually matters—firmly human.
Alberto Ortega Hinojosa, Packard Foundation
Alberto Ortega Hinojosa is the Data and Insights Officer at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, where he leads monitoring and reporting on Foundation strategy and co-leads its approach to generative AI. He brings over twenty years of experience in public health, evaluation, and policy; regularly convenes peer foundations on strategy, data, and learning; and co-leads the MERL Tech Community of Practice Philanthropy Working Group.
