The role of fundraising and alumni engagement is fundamental to an institution’s wider strategy and overall growth. Advances in digital technology, along with new economic concerns, have prompted higher education institutions to re-imagine their approaches to fundraising and the entire student experience from prospect to alum and beyond.

Adopting technology should not be seen as a cost, but rather an essential driver of philanthropic giving and alumni engagement growth.
