As donor expectations grow and advancement teams face limited capacity, artificial intelligence is emerging as a powerful tool to expand donor engagement and strengthen fundraising pipelines.
In this session, Athens State University will share how they successfully launched their first AI-enabled Virtual Engagement Officer, powered by Version2.ai and Givezy. This innovative approach allows the institution to engage a much larger pool of prospects, intelligently qualify donors, and move them through the giving cycle — even when gift officer resources are limited.
Participants will gain a practical look at how AI can support (not replace) relationship-based fundraising by enhancing prospect research, prioritization, and engagement strategies. Real-world examples will demonstrate how this technology is being used ethically and effectively to build a stronger, more sustainable donor pipeline.
