The Core KPI We Solve For – Increased Alumni Giving (time & money)
Your alumni are eager to get involved.
Some want to contribute financially, others would donate their time, and some may simply be willing to share their stories for the betterment of others in your community.
Unfortunately, managing this diverse group can be challenging, leading to a lack of meaningful connection between alumni and their institution.
They are often approached solely for donations or receive newsletters that may not resonate with them.
This diminishes their overall experience, which directly impacts your institutional KPIs, including donation rates, merchandise purchases, and other key metrics.
However, there is a solution.
At Harpier, we specialize in dedicating time to your alumni for your benefit. We gather their stories as well as participation interests and preferences in order to curate superior alumni experiences and foster greater engagement within your community at scale, resulting in increased contributions and long-term satisfaction.
With Harpier, your institution can reap the benefits of a more connected and involved alumni network.
The Solution – Providing a Better Alumni Experience
Considering the constraints of limited time and attention for both alumni and advancement counselors, we focus on investing time with your alumni on your behalf to ensure the collective benefit of your entire institution.
We prioritize alumni care as we’ve identified it as the core issue that, when addressed, positively impacts other advancement-related KPIs/triggers a positive chain reaction effect on other advancement-related KPIs. The greater the involvement of alumni with a positive experience, the more likely they are to engage again.
On top of that, research shows that contributing time leads to contributing more money.
Our initial step is to collect current information about your alumni directly and gauge their interest and preferences towards contributing.
We assist them in sharing their stories across different contexts about your institution, enabling you to leverage these narratives effectively towards your most relevant institutional goals.
This means that they can provide testimonials regarding their academic, social, extra-curricular experiences for admissions purposes. They can also share insights into their career journey for current students seeking internships and jobs. And more.
For the interested alumni, we design a better alumni experience where they contribute and participate based on your institutional needs as well as their own interests; elevating them from general members of the alumni network into valued stewards.
We design an experience for them to ensure that they contribute and stay contributing.
