Session Description: In today’s institutions, alumni diasporas are increasingly common, with groups of alumni residing in different parts of the world, often forming alumni chapters and networks outside their alma mater’s home country. These diasporas present unique opportunities for institutions to expand their fundraising reach and strengthen alumni engagement. This session explores case studies from institutions which have successfully mobilized their global alumni networks to encourage financial giving. Through case studies and proven strategies, we will discuss the characteristics of alumni diasporas, key fundraising initiatives, and challenges such as geographic distance and cultural differences—along with innovative solutions to overcome them.
