Send fundraising emails and texts from GiveCampus
Empower everyone on your team—fundraisers, event planners, and volunteers—to deliver targeted, personalized communications at scale—all from the same comprehensive platform.
Do all of your outreach from one platform
Instantly identify, engage, solicit, and steward constituents without having to export and import lists from multiple tools. Manage more of your fundraising tasks in a platform you know and love—and where you already spend much of your time.
Save time and kickstart creativity with pre-built templates or generative AI
With GC Outreach, you can craft email content from scratch, using pre-built templates, or by leveraging generative AI that’s been custom built for educational fundraising. The latter pulls details from your own campaign and event data (data that’s ALREADY in GiveCampus) to instantly draft targeted outreach.
Solicit only the people who are most likely to be receptive to your ask
Access ready-made recipient lists or upload your own, and then filter by attribute to reach only those constituents who are most likely to say ‘yes.’
Recurring Gifts
Boost dollars and retention with a targeted ask to donors who are primed to make a recurring gift.
Leadership Upgrades
Move LYBUNTs/SYBUNTs up the pyramid by soliciting for an upgrade to a leadership annual fund gift.
Volunteers
Level up your peer-to-peer outreach by identifying constituents most likely to volunteer.
Leverage smart ask amounts and personalization links to help donors feel seen
Let GC Intelligence generate targeted ask amounts for each constituent. Then leverage personalization links to send each donor to a form tailored specifically to them and their interests.
Data shows that when the ask is right, donors give more
Donors exposed to GiveCampus-generated Smart Ask Amounts are more receptive—across the board.
11%
More likely to accept a suggested amount
41%
More likely to upgrade from their last online gift
43%
Less likely to downgrade from their last online gift
Reach young alums where they are—on their phones
Texting is preferred to phone calls across nearly every demographic, but it’s especially popular with Millennials and Gen Z. Texting is convenient, has higher response rates, and easily fits into busy schedules. And, like email, you can send text messages to volunteers and constituents right from within GiveCampus.
Historically we’ve only used texting for young alumnae. With this giving day texting campaign, we reached out to all alums and drove nearly $35,000 across multiple generations of donors.
