The challenge in
social impact work isn’t just having data—it’s finding the right information at
the right time. Enter Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), an AI-powered
approach that improves decision-making in nonprofits, government, and social
services.

In this practical
deep dive, you’ll discover how RAG enhances information retrieval, optimises
service directories, and supports frontline workers. We’ll explore real-world
applications and give you the tools to start implementing RAG effectively.
