Ideas for messaging alumni

Engaging New Alumni Managing Donations Managing Local Events

Create new alumni engagement programs when alumni are most excited. If you continue that relationship, they may give back to your institution.

Make it easy for alumni to donate to their favorite campus programs, and make it fun! Prompt alumni with timely reminders that have real-time information so you can generate responses and meet your fundraising goals.

Text former students and create local alumni connections. Higher attendance at alumni events means more opportunities for you to fundraise.
