GiveCampus streamlines workflows for advancement services teams

The advancement services team is the backbone that keeps everyone from alumni affairs to development aligned and on track. But who’s got your back? For thousands of advancement services professionals at schools across the U.S. (and beyond), the easy answer is GiveCampus.

Advancement services teams at institutions big and small trust GiveCampus

Why your source of truth may also be a source of frustration

In all likelihood, the CRM you rely on today was built primarily to store info from business cards and proposals—NOT to keep you connected with donors, derive insights from unstructured data, or enhance the productivity of your frontline fundraisers.

Your CRM was made for sales reps not advancement services teams

As a result, your job gets exponentially harder every time another tool gets added to the tech stack.

Siloed point solutions

You have a neverending number of point solutions to integrate; teams spend time moving data from one app to the next.

Missing insights

Your CRM only knows structured data—what about visits per trip, gift officer email open rates, or recurring gift likelihood?

Endless ad hoc requests

Because only you know how to coax reports from your CRM, you end up fielding endless one-off asks from your team.

You need a secure and seamless way to sync constituent, event, and gift data

Whether you’re pulling constituent lists for annual giving appeals or stewardship, updating major gift portfolios, or supplying the business office and board of trustees with timely and accurate reporting—you need a secure and seamless way to get data into your system of record. Period.
