Case Study: Pace University expands fundraising capacity with Gravyty

Pace University - Customer Case Study

Pace University worked to grow its major gift pipeline and expand fundraising capacity, especially as alumni outreach had been inconsistent and many prospects fell into the middle of the donor pyramid. With a 14-person advancement team and a need for more personalized engagement, the university turned to Gravyty and its Raise platform, including First Draft AI messaging, to help reach alumni more effectively.

Gravyty helped Pace University break down silos, involve more staff in fundraising, and send highly personalized donor outreach at scale. In just four months, the team sent 8,074 personalized emails, and Pace expects to send 32,000 personalized touchpoints in a year, effectively expanding the workforce by 4x. The results included a 15% increase in average gift size, 50+ new major gift prospects qualified, and 100+ additional face-to-face donor visits.
