The idea
GivingTuesday is a global day of generosity, held this year on 1 December. Alumnipad brings Kenyan schools, alumni networks and associations together for it. Each organisation gets its own M-Pesa giving page, and one network page shows everyone taking part and the total raised. Fifteen days of giving, one shared moment, and every gift going to your own cause.
What your organisation gets
Your own giving page
Your story, goal and running total, with a give form.
Class challenge
Donors pick their class ("Class of 2004") or "Friend of the school", and your page ranks the classes.
Matching pools
Sponsors pledge pools that match gifts, and pools can stack: every shilling given goes further.
Bring a friend
Every donor gets a personal link after giving. Top inviters appear on the Ambassadors board.
Monthly giving
After a gift, donors can pledge a monthly amount and get an SMS reminder on their day each month.
Live updates
Leaderboard updates on WhatsApp keep your followers giving, sent automatically or approved by you.
How the money moves
There are two ways to collect.
Your own M-Pesa paybill or till
Gifts go straight to your paybill or till as each one arrives. Set the paybill or till up as your payment method on Alumnipad first.
Alumnipad collects for you
For organisations without a paybill or till. Gifts go to Alumnipad's paybill and are held for you with real-time updates. Payouts on request, weekly, or once after the window.
A personal M-Pesa number cannot take gifts.
Key dates
All times are Nairobi time. You can join until 8 December, and set a shorter window inside these dates.

When do we receive the money?
With your own paybill or till, as each gift arrives. If Alumnipad collects for you: on request, weekly, or once after the window; you choose.
Can we set our own dates?
Yes. Choose a shorter window inside 24 November to 8 December. You can join until 8 December.
Do we need a matching sponsor?
No, but it helps. A sponsor pledges a pool that matches gifts, and several pools can stack.
