Meet Dave

our Virtual Engagement Officer


At MLK Community Healthcare, we’re always looking for innovative ways to connect with our supporters—because the people of South Los Angeles deserve nothing less. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Dave, our first Virtual Engagement Officer (VEO), powered by artificial intelligence.

Dave isn’t just a name—it stands for Dream, Aspire, Vision, and Empower, values that guide everything we do. As a small team with ambitious goals, we’re embracing AI to enhance outreach, streamline communication, and provide personalized support to our giving community.

Developed in partnership with Givezy, Dave represents our commitment to bold, forward-thinking solutions in philanthropy. We’re proud to join leading organizations like Boston Children’s Hospital and the San Diego Humane Society in pioneering AI for social good.

Rest assured, you’ll always hear from real humans too—and we’re here whenever you need us. But by engaging with Dave, you’re helping shape the future of nonprofit engagement, proving that innovation can drive real impact.

A message from our president

We opened MLKCH in 2015 as a state of the art, all-digital facility, building our culture on innovation and ambition for our communities. We are excited for our groundbreaking partnership with Givzey, expanding our capacity through AI to offer personal experiences and meaningful connections to future partners. With the world's first autonomous fundraiser, we hope to elevate the power of generosity for impact and transformation—both for South LA and for similar communities like ours throughout the nation.
