The University of Notre Dame: Reunion
Challenge
Solution
Striving for the best characterizes a top-tier university and its students and faculty. The University of Notre Dame held an annual alumni reunion dinner to collect donations, and it wanted to strive for more donations, more donors, and more engagement.
Finding a service that offers online fundraising services can be daunting, but this university decisively chose [GiveSmart]. A text-to-give campaign was set up and a subscription campaign that text messaged daily prayers to subscribers. GiveSmart created forms (social media, email, text, and more) separately to make data tracking available for each resource. The event was set and ready for success after Notre Dame worked with [GiveSmart’s] dedicated support team.
Impact
The campaign was a great success as the university significantly increased donations and engaged its alumni donor base. This university was able to capture 844 subscribers for its alumni association. They enjoyed the services so much that they soon began setting up crowdfunding and subscription campaigns to engage students, one of which became the Notre Dame Streak campaign that raised $21,981, more than double its goal of $10,000.
The University of Notre Dame is a Catholic academic community of higher learning prides itself on being an environment of teaching and learning that fosters the development in its students of those disciplined habits of mind, body, and spirit that characterize educated, skilled, and free human beings.
