At Affinaquest, forging strong partnerships and delivering exceptional client outcomes are at the heart of everything we do. Recently, Emory University and Huron completed a successful implementation of Advancement RM, tailoring the platform to meet Emory’s unique specifications and transforming how they engage with their constituents. In a case study published by the Tambellini Group, Mark Walcott, Assistant Vice President of Technology and Business Intelligence at Emory University, shared how they’re already seeing the benefits: “Affinaquest’s centralized interface and enhanced security features are streamlining our team’s ability to manage advancement data access and usage… and offer automated tools that help ensure compliance with evolving global data protection regulations.” Congratulations to the entire Emory advancement team on a successful CRM conversion and Go-Live with VERAS! A special thanks to Huron for ensuring Advancement RM is performing at its highest level for Emory and delivering measurable results.

At Affinaquest, we love to see our clients thrive! Providence College, a proud Affinaquest client in both #collegiateathletics and #advancement, is reaching new heights in athletics fundraising and ticket sales! In the last fiscal year, Providence set a record $8.5 million in ticket revenue, selling out men’s basketball season tickets for the first time, achieving an unprecedented 99% renewal rate, and raising nearly $11 million in fundraising. “Their success on the courts and playing fields, along with the hard work and day-to-day diligence of the men and women in our Athletics and Institutional Advancement departments, is a major reason we have also been successful at fundraising and ticket sales,” said Providence College President Fr. Kenneth R. Sicard, O.P. Shout out to Andrew Schoepfer and the rest of the Providence community for achieving such impact for their institution, through #innovation and meaningful constituent #engagement across campus. https://lnkd.in/e29rN9YJ
