Alumni giving at Thacher isn’t just alive; it’s thriving. At a time when schools are rethinking what alumni engagement really means, we’ve reimagined it as a full-spectrum experience that blends highly personalized outreach with broad-scale initiatives to spark pride, momentum, and connection across generations. With 48% overall alumni giving and 71% participation among young alumni, we’ve seen how reunion giving, young alumni campaigns, virtual giving days, career and networking support, and data-informed outreach can foster a true culture of engagement, one that drives both community and philanthropy. This session will share our most effective tools, lessons learned from both big wins and messy pivots, and practical, scalable strategies to make alumni giving feel personal, meaningful, and successful; whether you’re a team of two or twenty.
