Set a target and date, and watch Alumnly do the rest
Stripe payments and a live progress bar, built in. Launch a campaign in minutes, relaunch last year's in one click, and let every donation, donor and tax receipt handle itself.
Included from Growth ($599/mo) and Pro.
Engaged alumni networks show a 40% higher fundraising participation rate. Alumnly is the engagement engine that gets you there.
Most school fundraising runs on a patchwork: a generic donation platform that skims a fee, a spreadsheet of who gave what, a separate tool for receipts, and a campaign page rebuilt from scratch every December. Donors hit friction, your team hits admin, and the appeal that should take an afternoon takes a fortnight.
Giving should be the easy part. When the campaign is one click to launch and one tap to donate, more alumni give, and your team gets the evening back.
Clone the campaign, set a new target, go live. Preset and custom donation amounts. A progress bar that updates in real time. The donor list sits one click from a thank-you. Stripe direct to the school account, with no platform skimming the gift.
A guided wizard that launches a campaign in seconds
A step-by-step wizard walks you through target, dates, story, hero image and suggested donation amounts, then you go live. Or clone last year's annual giving, scholarship fund or capital appeal with one click and change the date. A new streamlined build is rolling out shortly that takes campaign creation from minutes to seconds.
A live progress bar that drives more giving
Target, raised so far, and remaining to goal all update live. Alumni watch the campaign move as it moves, and visible momentum is one of the strongest nudges in fundraising. The social proof does the persuading for you.
Suggested amounts, plus a custom option
Preset donation tiers anchor alumni toward higher gifts, with a custom amount always available. A small design choice that lifts the average donation, set up for you in the wizard.
Stripe payments and automatic tax receipts
Cards, recurring donations and one-off gifts all process directly to your school account. AU and NZ tax receipts are generated and emailed automatically, so no one is issuing receipts by hand at the end of a campaign.
Embed the appeal on your main school website
Drop a one-line embed and the campaign appears on your school's main site as well as your alumni hub. Parents and the wider community can give too, not just registered alumni, widening the donor pool with no extra work.
Donor insights, history, and one-click saved lists
Every gift sits inside the alum's profile. See your top donors ranked by total given, open anyone to view their full donation history, and track gifts that arrive through the website embed separately. Save a donor segment as a reusable list in one click, so your thank-you and your next appeal are targeted, not guesswork.
Launch a campaign, track gifts, thank donors, without leaving the platform.
Clone last year's scholarship fund. Update the target. Draft the email. Pull the donor segment from the Directory: "anyone who gave to a scholarship in the last five years." Send Tuesday, donations start arriving Wednesday, tax receipts go out automatically, and the progress bar updates live. Friday morning: export the donor list and write personal thank-yous to the top twenty.
See giving trends, donor pipeline, and projections in real time.
Annual giving tracking twenty-two percent ahead of last year. Major gift pipeline projecting four hundred and eighty thousand against a budget of four hundred. Bequest commitments up. "Trending toward exceeding budget by twenty percent" is a board headline. Real-time data, not quarterly summaries.
Stripe direct to the school account. AU and NZ tax receipts compliant out of the box.
Donations sync to school accounting. Tax receipts are jurisdiction-compliant. Reporting is reconciliation-ready. No double-entry, no separate fundraising vendor invoice. Audit happens without panic.
"We have had a fantastic experience with Alumnly. Setting up our alumni site was an absolute breeze. In less than an hour, we had everything up and running. Our alumni love the platform, and we are proud to have it as the centrepiece of our community."
