Fundraising Automation for Colleges
Let your AI agent handle alumni emails, donor record updates, and campaign reports—so you can focus on building real relationships and growing your institution.
You spend hours in Excel, Outlook, and Google Drive, manually drafting emails and updating donor lists. As a college advancement administrator, juggling spreadsheets and endless reports means less time for meaningful alumni engagement. Important follow-ups slip through the cracks, and fundraising goals feel out of reach.
An AI agent that automates alumni outreach, donor data management, and campaign reporting for college fundraising teams.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In higher education fundraising, advancement and alumni relations staff waste hours every week pulling donor lists from Raiser's Edge, writing outreach emails in Outlook, and compiling participation reports in Google Sheets. This manual work leaves little time for strategic planning or connecting with alumni. The constant pressure to keep records current and campaigns running means staff are always behind.
