One place for scholarships, annual funds, and alumni giving

Ideali gives your advancement office a simple way to raise, from alumni, parents, and faculty, wherever they are. Set up recurring pledges, run a class-year challenge, and fund a named scholarship, all from one dashboard.

Where annual giving falls short

Alumni give once at reunion and aren't heard from again until the next one.

Scholarships, lab equipment, and the library appeal all land in the same account with nothing to report back.

The giving page lives on a third-party site that looks nothing like the institution.

How Ideali helps

Recurring pledges instead of one-off cheques

An alumnus who commits $25 a month gives $300 a year without thinking about it. Recurring giving turns a reunion pledge into a dependable endowment line.

A campaign per fund, not one general pot

Give every scholarship, department, and capital project its own page and goal, so donors see exactly what their money does and you can report on it cleanly.

Donation forms on your own website

Drop a form into the alumni page, a department page, or the annual report with the Ideali Donate shortcode. Your branding, your traffic, no redirect.

Apple Pay and Google Pay

Younger alumni give from a phone or not at all. E-wallet checkout means two taps instead of hunting for a card simply through their smartphones.

Class-year and department giving

Run parallel campaigns for each graduating class or faculty and let the totals compete. Share each one by direct link or QR code in the alumni newsletter, and give every department coordinator their own sub-profile so the advancement office isn't the bottleneck.

Do you have any questions in mind?

Yes. There's no limit on concurrent campaigns, and each one has its own page, goal, and donor list.

Yes. A class-year campaign gives you exactly that breakdown, since every campaign keeps its own donor list.
