Building stronger institutional relationships.
We partner with universities and institutes to cultivate lifelong alumni relationships, deepen engagement and advance philanthropy in service of each institution’s enduring mission.
An illustrative concept, presented with sample data
Four disciplines. One institutional purpose.
Strategic counsel where direction is needed, dedicated partnership where programmes must deliver, and enduring systems where institutional knowledge deserves to be preserved.
Alumni Relations & Engagement
Cultivating a lifelong bond between an institution and its graduates across classes, continents and careers, through chapters, reunions, considered communication and mentorship.
How engagement is measured. An alumnus is counted as actively engaged after taking part in at least one institutional activity in the past twelve months, such as a reunion, a chapter gathering, mentorship, volunteering or a gift. Illustrative data. Institutional Advancement
Establishing advancement as a strategic institutional function, so that every office shaping a relationship works toward a shared vision.

Every institution has a relationship with its alumni. Few have the means to steward it.
Knowledge of alumni and benefactors is too often dispersed across offices, individuals and informal channels, and engagement rises with each occasion only to recede between them. Gratitude Labs helps institutions bring every relationship into a single, coherent view.
