Advanced user of GraduwayWe have been utilizing Graduway's GradAdvance product since the inception of our day of giving four years ago. We chose them over other products because of the high level of customization and branding available. Rather than being fund-driven like many giving days, we typically raise unrestricted dollars and needed to find ways to gamify the day around affinities/relationship to the university. Graduway was the only platform that allowed us to utilize leaderboards/challenges/etc. in this way. Additionally, we liked the idea of paying a flat fee and knowing how to plan versus paying based on how much we raise through the platform - and thank goodness we went this route versus another product because we ended up raising much more than we anticipated. Now that we've partnered on various projects, I can also confidently say that the level of customer service is outstanding. We have found a true partnership. The team at Graduway goes out of their way not just to make our dreams a reality, but also to provide insight and best practices into what may work well for us and new ideas to try. We have grown our day of giving from $201,000 in year one to nearly $500K this past year, and we couldn't have done it without Graduway!
I think the social sharing tools in the GradAdvance product could use some work. It is difficult for donors/constituents to understand the entire login process in order to share through the tools. Rather than confuse them, we end up bypassing these tools altogether and simply utilizing personalized URLs for ambassador outreach and tracking. This works well for us, but I wish it was easier to track social ambassador success - both as an institution and for the donors/ambassadors themselves. I would love to see some improvements in this area!
If you are looking to harness the power of engagement and customization for your day of giving or other crowdfunding efforts, GradAdvance is the product. We have been overly impressed by the team and our experience and will advocate for this partnership for years to come! I highly recommend Graduway and its offerings.
We have utilized Graduway to grow donor participation in our annual fund as well as improve young alumni engagement and giving. By hosting a truly interactive and engaging day of giving with Graduway's tools, the benefits to our annual fund program have been noteworthy!
