OVERVIEW

Celebrating class reunions (or even “graduation anniversaries”) can be one of the most effective ways to engage alumni and increase annual giving. Building on feelings of nostalgia and leveraging class affinity, reunion gift campaigns offer annual giving programs a special opportunity to attract new donors, engage current donors, reactivate lapsed donors, and solicit leadership-level gifts from your most loyal and engaged supporters.
