Get ready to raise more funds for your university with Advancement Connect from the Salesforce Foundation.
Available today, Advancement Connect is an application that empowers universities of all sizes to engage alumni in meaningful ways to significantly increase participation rates and fundraising efforts. With Advancement Connect, universities can manage fundraising, events, volunteers and more—all on a single platform.
Advancement Connect is built for frontline fundraisers, gift officers, program managers and volunteer managers to solve their three biggest problems:
1. Connecting lifetime data
With Advancement Connect, universities can provide a complete 360 degree view of each constituent, unlike most advancement applications which are siloed and prevent a university from managing a high volume of donor interactions.
As a part of Salesforce1 for Higher Education, Advancement Connect allows universities to manage donors, volunteers, sponsors, events, campaigns and gifts across all channels.
Advancement Connect is built social, mobile and cloud first and is available anywhere, from any device—allowing universities to connect with an alumni and donor population that is increasingly mobile.
Advancement Connect will empower universities to better manage intricate relationships with alumni, donors and sponsors to build stronger ties and increase donations. Built on the Salesforce1 Platform, Advancement Connect improves efficiencies within the advancement department by having donor information and performance metrics at your fingertips, no matter where you are.
Advancement Connect is poised to help drive new levels of success at universities across the country. Leading universities like Maryville University, University of California San Francisco, University of San Francisco, University of Southern California, Villanova and Worcester Polytechnic Institute are already connecting with donors and alumni in new ways with Advancement Connect.
“University of Southern California has a bold academic vision and needs a platform that can support our ambitions and keep up with the scale and pace of our advancement activities,” said Al Checcio, senior vice president for university advancement, University of Southern California. “Advancement Connect will help us meaningfully engage all of USC’s constituencies well into the future.”
“Most fundraising apps are outdated and difficult to use,” said Cheryl Cerny, senior director of advancement information management and research, Worcester Polytechnic Institute. "Advancement Connect was the only solution that offered a fundraising option and the ability to deploy across the university.”
Advancement Connect is being showcased at the Higher Ed Summit, which will bring together more than 700 leading innovators across the higher education sector. Co-hosted by the Salesforce Foundation and the University Miami, the event will feature presentations from leading innovators such as Cornell University, Georgetown University and University of Michigan.
