Leveraging Video for Fundraising and Alumni Relations

MediaFundraising

In the digital age, staying connected is at your fingertips. As alumni go on to do great things, it’s essential for your school to keep in touch. Positive alumni relations help grow the school’s connections and reputation. Along with the importance of connections is fundraising. Both are equally significant components to boost not only your school’s but, most importantly, your student’s success. 

What better way to connect than through the power of a video? Let’s discuss the advantages of videos and how they benefit fundraising efforts and strengthen alumni relations. 

Promote Fundraising

Donations can make all the difference to help students thrive in their learning environments. But, let’s face it, getting donors’ attention in the first place can be a struggle. Videos grab people’s attention and stick out compared to an email or unknown phone call. Using specific videos for fundraising or alumni profiles can boost donations by putting faces to where each contribution will go.

Direct Connections

Recording alumni profiles is an effective way to represent your school. They are a true testament to the positive outcomes your school can have on students and provide a personable, emotional touch that other forms of media can’t. Sharing alumni profiles entices the community to connect with the students, creating lasting relationships and contributions to the school. Alumni videos represent all aspects of your school, playing to its strengths and showing appreciation for the students.

Secure Donations

As you collect high-quality videos made for fundraising efforts and alumni relationships, you’re building a stronger team for your school. Alumni profiles make connections with local businesses, other graduates, and current students, allowing for more opportunities for contributions to blossom. Don’t miss out on donations because your community never engaged with the content in the first place.
