Meanwhile, Texas State University faces the challenge of engaging a large and growing alumni population of over 230,000. With an enormous base of recent graduates and limited resources, the university’s VEO, Emma, plays a critical role in reaching lapsed donors and increasing engagement among non-donors. By providing personalized outreach at scale, Emma enables Texas State to build meaningful relationships with alumni who are just beginning their philanthropic journeys.
Both institutions highlight the transformative potential of autonomous fundraising in building connections and driving results, regardless of the size of their donor base and human staff. At Fisher, Quinn’s ability to gather and act on alumni data is helping their team focus on high-priority prospects. At Texas State, Emma is creating opportunities to engage alumni beyond transactional outreach, nurturing a sense of ongoing connection and service to graduates that fosters philanthropy.
Meet both Emma and Quinn, as they join St. John Fisher University’s Leah Richards, Senior Director of Advancement Services and Dana Orlando, Director of Prospect Research and Texas State University’s Becca Dickey, Senior Strategic Business in a live panel discussion with Version2’s Emily Groccia.
