From alumni reunions to capital campaigns, social media has reshaped how institutions can build lasting relationships with their alumni. With over 250 million LinkedIn members sharing their professional backgrounds and over 1 billion people "liking" stories and pages on Facebook, advancement teams can use these insights to identify donor capacity and willingness to give.
At EverTrue, they call this Social Donor Management. It begins with optimizing your presence where your alumni already are and understanding your alumni community in the process.
In this webinar, Evertrue's Harvey Simmons will present a crash course on:
- Building an alumni presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter
- New tools for advancement: crowdfunding and event registration
- Identifying donors online and garnering trust from your alumni community
