Advancement Analytics

Why Advancement Analytics?

Advancement Analytics unlocks the power of your fundraising and alumni data by providing better access and flexibility to users who need it most. It does not require the implementation of Student Analytics but it limits you to data available in your alumni database. This can be valuable for baseline donor analysis, gift sizing analysis and donor/alumni geographic segmentation.

The Power of Student Analytics + Advancement Analytics

While Advancement Analytics can be implemented on its own, including Student Analytics is useful if you are interested in understanding additional segmentation and targeting details based on student and institutional hierarchy data. By combining Advancement data with student data, institutions can segment data by student academic variables not in the alumni database, including program, major and degree.

Key Challeges

In today’s climate, it’s important to maximize alumni giving to ensure financial health and sustainability. Advancement Analytics allows the institution to meet their advancement goals and strategic priorities through more efficient and effective use of data. Advancement Analytics helps institutions address a range of challenges including:

First-Time Donor Acquisition

How can we identify first-time donors?

Preserving Annual Giving

How can we get alumni to return year after year through annual giving programs?

Increasing Modest Gifts to Major Contributions

What kind of yield can we expect from the coming campaigns and how can we structure campaigns for maximum yield?

Effective Outreach Strategies Across Generations & Channels
