Case Study: Strake Jesuit College Preparatory achieves $306K+ in online donations and streamlined engagement with Anthology

Strake Jesuit College Preparatory - Customer Case Study

Strake Jesuit College Preparatory, a Catholic high school for young men in Houston, partnered with Anthology to strengthen alumni, parent and community engagement and to centralize web, events, email marketing, online giving and social networking tools. The school faced the challenge of growing affinity and donations while reducing administrative burden and postage/printing costs, and wanted a single platform to manage outreach, registration and fundraising.

Anthology delivered a unified online engagement platform that moved many events and fundraising campaigns fully or partially online, integrated email and social reminders, and centralized registration and giving. The results were measurable: last fiscal year Strake Jesuit raised more than $233,000 online for the Annual Fund and, with two months remaining this year, has already surpassed that with more than $306,000; online giving has comprised roughly 20% of the Annual Fund both years and total online revenue exceeded $400,000 last year. Event registrations are now 100% online for some events and 20–80% online for traditional events, Anthology’s tools have cut postage and staff time, and the school says it recouped its Anthology investment in one month of online fundraising.
