What is the Environmental Impact of a VEO?
Version2’s Virtual Engagement Officer (VEO) is purpose-built for fundraising conversations, enabling nonprofits and educational institutions to scale donor engagement with far greater efficiency than traditional methods. While AI technologies continue to evolve and become more computationally efficient, VEO’s specialized design already minimizes resource demands compared to general-purpose AI systems. When contrasted with the travel, printed materials, and large staffing footprints often required for in-person donor cultivation, VEO offers a significantly lower-impact alternative—supporting organizations committed to solving society’s greatest challenges, including climate and sustainability.
- Our VEO technology is purpose-built for fundraising conversations, not general-purpose computing, which allows us to use more efficient, specialized approaches
- Version2.ai exclusively serves nonprofits and educational institutions - organizations working to solve society's greatest challenges, including climate change itself
- AI itself is already being deployed to solve climate challenges - from optimizing energy grids to modeling climate scenarios to accelerating clean energy research
- Traditional fundraising requires significant travel, printed materials, large advancement teams with office space, and resource-intensive events. A single in-person donor cultivation trip can have a larger carbon footprint than months of VEO digital engagement
- As AI technology evolves and becomes more efficient, we're committed to adopting more sustainable approaches. Newly invented technology always begins with its least efficient versions - the first cars, the first computers. We are seeing huge advances in efficiency with compute power and AI resources.
