For the past three years we’ve offered our own spin on the annual spring dance – our “tournament” that compares schools based on alumni giving statistics like alumni participation, donor counts, and dollars raised to declare a bracket winner. It’s our fun way to explore some of the key trends in higher education alumni giving.
If you’re looking for a quick alumni giving strategy boost, watch this webinar where we'll cover:
- The stats, the trends, and the surprises we see in the numbers for alumni giving in the 100+ schools in the tournament.
- What our “refs” said about key donor engagement strategies like making your online giving great and reaching out to young alumni in compelling ways.
- Four key ways you can amplify giving at the end of your fiscal year and prepare to start next year strong.
- A live announcement of our March (Alumni Giving) Madness winners for 2019!
