Alumni management software for associations, schools and universities

What alumni management software does

Alumni management software keeps a single, current record of every former student and gives the people who run the alumni community the tools to organise them. In Alumnipad that means:

• A member database and directory: profiles with class year, chapter, profession and city, which members keep up to date themselves.
• Chapters and class groups: by year, city, country or profession, each with its own admins.
• Events and ticketing: reunions, AGMs and career days with RSVPs and tickets.
• Membership plans and dues: annual, life and friends plans with reminders.
• Fundraising causes: scholarships, projects and appeals with targets and live progress.
• Mentorship, elections and opportunities: mentor matching, online committee elections, and job and volunteer posts.
• Messaging: bulk email, SMS (Professional plan and above) and official WhatsApp from one place.
• Reporting: member, event and giving reports for the committee (paid plans).

How to choose alumni management software

1. Does it reach members where they are? In Africa that means WhatsApp and SMS, not only email.
2. Can members update their own records? Otherwise the database goes stale within a year.
3. Is it affordable to start? Alumnipad has a free plan for up to 50 members and published prices; many global platforms quote only on request.
4. Can the next committee take over? Records, roles and history should stay with the association, not with one volunteer.
