School Challenges Unite Alumni and Friends

School Challenges are one of the best ways to boost alumni participation quickly.

Regis College ran a successful school challenge after receiving a generous pledge to the annual fund of $25,000. A Regis couple asked their fellow alumni and friends to rise to the school challenge and make 600 gifts to Regis by the end of the calendar year. Long story short, they surpassed their goal with 799 donations.

The results showed that the challenge was a great way to:

Secure participation rates early on in the fiscal year
Get never-donors to make their first donation
Increase gift amounts from current donors
Show the Regis community that their peers (alumni, faculty, staff, and parents) are actively giving back.
