Elective Session
Join Boston University as they share how they have transformed student giving from a give to get to give forever. With class gift generating more than 2,000 donors each year BU noticed they were not renewing after graduating. Changes to the campaign messaging, events, and promotions were made to accommodate a long-term retention strategy that has helped increase average gift, and retention of class gift donors after the pandemic! New reporting was created to track event attendance, giving, etc.
