Case Study: Thomas Aquinas College achieves 3x alumni community growth in 3 months with Almabase

Thomas Aquinas College alumni community grows 3x in just 3 months

Thomas Aquinas College, a small Roman Catholic liberal arts college with about 3,400 alumni, faced an outdated, manual alumni database, printed directories that were hard to maintain, limited engagement via Facebook, and time-consuming event management and data entry into Raiser's Edge. To address these issues they partnered with Almabase to set up an online alumni community and a contactable, centralized alumni database.

Almabase delivered a digital alumni platform with seamless Raiser's Edge NXT integration, integrated communications, event planning tools, and an easy CMS. Within three months the community grew roughly 3x, with 25% of alumni signing up, a 2.7x higher email click rate, 59,848 emails sent at a 38.93% open rate, 100+ jobs posted, and a single up-to-date directory connecting 3,426 alumni—streamlining data updates, outreach, and event management for Thomas Aquinas College.
