What is the ALUMinate Research Center?
We believe effective philanthropy requires a combination of insightful information on prospects and donors and the tools and research to put that data to work. Through our Research Center, we bring you free, evidence-based research so you can systematically and thoughtfully increase philanthropy and engagement.
Join our newsletter, follow our research blog, take part in our surveys, connect with other practitioners, access our webinars, or request a research topic and we’ll return a report on what we find. Learn more about all the complimentary benefits and how it works in this short video!
Questions? Contact Dr. Caitlin Scarano, who oversees the Research Center.
