Case Study: Calvert Hall achieves 67% automatic alumni record updates with Almabase

How Calvert Hall is able to update 67% of the alumni records automatically

Calvert Hall, a 173-year-old Catholic college preparatory school, struggled to keep a growing alumni database current—manual data entry into Raiser's Edge, outdated printed directories, and low engagement made it hard to reach alumni for events and campaigns. Almabase provided a digital alumni community platform with social sign-ups and Raiser's Edge integration to address these challenges.

Almabase implemented easy social (Facebook/LinkedIn) and email sign-ups, automatic profile updates into Raiser's Edge, segmented communications, and a built-in fundraising module. As a result, 67% of sign-ups come through social accounts (48% from LinkedIn), enabling automatic updates to most records, driving a 57% email open rate, higher engagement and easier online giving—making Calvert Hall’s alumni directory more accurate and actionable.
