A strong advancement team is holistic in its approach to achieving its goals. The leadership often oversees an organization’s communications, brand management, and public affairs, as well as development and fundraising. Education Cloud includes the tools that you need to support your advancement efforts.

  • Alumni Relations—Use the Alumni Relations app to manage and engage with alumni from your educational institution in a single centralized location. Review, update, and enter information about alumni in the CRM, and use Experience Builder to create an alumni community. See Alumni Relations.
  • Alumni Engagement Metrics—Use Data 360 and Einstein generative AI to track alumni activities and provide informative translations of that data to give you a true sense of the level of engagement. See Data 360 for Education: Alumni Engagement Metrics.
  • Fundraising—Set up and configure Fundraising in Education Cloud to support advancement in your institution. Configure Fundraising features, page layouts, and gift operation processes to help engage donors, manage gifts, and drive successful advancement programs.

Advancement in higher education makes sure that the educational institutions meet the evolving needs of students, teachers, and society. Activities such as fundraising, alumni relations, public relations, strategic planning, and community engagement, all contribute to advancing the mission of the institution.
