Donor upgrades represent one of the highest-value opportunities in fundraising and one of the most consistently underpursued. When donors are ready to give more, the window is narrow and the outreach rarely happens. Autonomous AI fundraising is changing that.

Across organizations using Autonomous Fundraising, 1 in 3 donors increase their gifts when managed by a Virtual Engagement Officer, with an average gift increase of 65% — and $2.8M raised in upgraded gifts to date.

The Medical University of South Carolina, MUSC, is one of the clearest examples of this in action. Since launching two VEO portfolios, one on the healthcare side, one on alumni, they've seen over $150,000 in increased giving. Join Version2.ai and MUSC for an inside look at what running two portfolios side by side actually looks like, how upgrade opportunities surface through autonomous outreach, and what their results reveal about donor behavior when engagement is finally consistent.

You'll walk away with:

• A clear picture of how autonomous fundraising drives donor giving upgrades — not just engagement
• A real-world example of deploying VEOs across both a healthcare and an alumni portfolio simultaneously
• Data-backed insight into upgrade patterns across the VEO platform, including $2.8M raised in upgraded gifts network-wide
• A framework for thinking about where upgrade opportunities may be hiding in your own donor base

Whether you're in annual giving, healthcare advancement, or managing a growing mid-level pipeline, this session will show you what's possible when your donors finally hear from someone — consistently.
