OVERVIEW

The years following graduation are an important time for the relationship between young alumni and their alma mater. Simply bombarding them with unexpected gift solicitations can be off-putting and may jeopardize that relationship. That’s why it's so important for educational institutions to find thoughtful ways to engage young alumni, explain the importance of annual giving, and inspire them to make their alma mater a philanthropic priority. Doing so will create a stronger culture of philanthropy and set the stage for loyal alumni support for years to come.
