Case Study: Holmesglen Institute of TAFE achieves unified alumni data and increased fundraising with Ellucian CRM Advance and Banner

How Holmesglen Institute of TAFE uses data to power future fundraising

Holmesglen Institute of TAFE, a Melbourne-based public TAFE pioneering U.S.-style advancement fundraising in Australia, needed a constituent relationship management system to unify and manage alumni data and build advancement processes from scratch. To meet that challenge they worked with Ellucian, implementing Ellucian CRM Advance alongside Ellucian Banner to support their fundraising model.

Ellucian implemented CRM Advance with standardized historical data imports and seamless integration with Banner so Holmesglen could track constituents from first engagement through graduation and beyond without disrupting ongoing fundraising. As a result, Holmesglen has increased annual donors, now manages 140,000 alumni relationships worldwide, and has helped thousands of students with donation-based emergency grants—delivering a long-term foundation for advancement with Ellucian.
