Version2, Givzey’s AI R&D lab researching, developing, and accelerating the deployment of the world’s first fully autonomous fundraiser, today announced the third cohort of nonprofit Innovation Partners to introduce the Virtual Engagement Officer (VEO) to donors. Indiana State University is the first university in Indiana to partner with Givzey, and is among 12 other organizations in its cohort. This additional cohort builds upon the remarkable success and leadership of previous cohorts, which have demonstrated the transformative potential of addressing fundraising’s labor shortage with trusted digital labor, by setting the VEO on the path to raise $1M. The mission for Version2’s third cohort is to expand the use cases and opportunities for fully autonomous fundraising for the benefit of all cohorts, and philanthropic giving as a whole.
“The Indiana State University Foundation is thrilled to partner with Version2.ai to welcome a fully autonomous Virtual Engagement Officer (VEO) to our advancement team. In today’s rapidly evolving world, embracing AI in higher education fundraising will support enhanced relationships with alumni and donors,” said Andrea Angel, Vice President of University Advancement and CEO of the Indiana State University Foundation. “We are proud to be the first University in Indiana to create a virtual engagement officer to deepen alumni connections to Indiana State University through innovation.”
