Powering Loyola University’s Most Successful Giving Day Ever
- Advancement
- Portals
- Support
In 2024, Loyola’s Advancement team partnered with Post Captain Consulting to reimagine their annual giving day, better known as Greyhounds Give. Their goal? Replace third-party giving software with a custom Slate solution that delivers a seamless donor experience while achieving long-term cost savings.
Building Out a Better Giving Experience for All
At Post Captain, we build solutions that simplify the complex, helping teams focus on what matters most. For Loyola, building for better meant creating a custom giving portal that could match the engagement and polish of platforms like GiveCampus, without the licensing fees. The result was a Slate-powered experience that broke fundraising records, streamlined staff workflows, and gave Loyola full ownership of their future campaigns.
To ensure success, we built two connected portals (one for the university-wide campaign and one for athletics) to create a seamless donor experience across all audiences. From goal tracking to live donor counts and giving challenges, every detail was built with both impact and ease of use in mind.
This new Slate-based portal allowed real-time goal tracking, flexible fund management, and seamless updates, helping the Advancement team showcase momentum and inspire generosity. This resulted in Loyola’s most successful giving day ever.
We created a dynamic, branded experience that encouraged participation from a broad range of supporters. With integrated donor challenges and a mobile-friendly design, the new portal made it easier than ever for people to get involved.
From scholarships to student services, Loyola’s giving portal empowered supporters to connect with the causes they care about—while centralizing the experience for better data capture and reporting. This streamlined approach made it easier for Loyola’s Advancement team to measure impact and customize future campaigns.
Loyola’s record-breaking campaign showed that donor experiences don’t have to be compromised when moving away from third-party platforms. With the right partner and purpose-built tools, you can elevate donor experiences, streamline operations, and build something better for all.
“Post Captain helped us concept and build a custom giving day portal to match the online experience our donors had become accustomed to. We streamlined our giving solutions, saved budget and resources, and made better use of our Slate instance.”
