Welcome to your October AlumGrow Insights - I hope you’ve had a wonderful month so far.
First, some exciting news—it's been a big week for us at AlumGrow as we welcomed the newest member of our family, Ella May Arabella Lee! Both Ella and Mum are doing wonderfully, though sleep has been in short supply! Thank you for all the kind messages from our last issue; they meant so much to us.
Ella’s arrival has me reflecting on growth, which ties into this issue. I’m excited to share loads of new resources to support your advancement work, including our latest article Boosting Alumni Giving in Tough Times, the launch of six new digital toolkits, and my Tip of the Month segment on matching gift programs. You’ll also get a sneak peek of our DevelopmentPro Alumni Relations Growth Framework and a recent client success story.
Plus, we announce the winner of our AlumGrow Quiz and share more exciting news of two upcoming online short courses launching in November. Check it all out below!
Until next month, take care and keep thriving.
