Description

This campaign fundraised for graduation regalia for graduating students. We solicited ND/Lapsed 5+ alumni, all current parents that hadn't given in FY24, Faculty/Staff, current student ND, and all unrenewed donors (who only received emails 1 & 6). Along with 6 emails, we had a social media campaign that pulled quotes from the emails to put on our Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn and texted all class gift donors from the last 5 years. When texting, we AB tested language when asking people to make a gift vs. asking people to click the link to watch a video. We saw much greater clicks when asking to watch the video but didn't see a difference giving. On our crowdfunding page we featured a video of recent graduates talking about their commencement and the thank you video featured the Dean of Students.
