Atlassian's 2026 research on nonprofit teamwork reveals that how teams implement AI matters more than whether they do. Based on a survey of 306 nonprofit professionals, the data shows 59% of nonprofits are changing how they work, with 53% using AI weekly. Teams that balance human and technology considerations in AI rollouts are 40% more likely to have clear goals and 50% more likely to avoid duplicative work compared to purely tech-focused approaches. The report distinguishes between human-focused AI strategies (starting from people's roles and values) and tech-focused strategies (starting from tool capabilities), advocating for a balanced approach.
