Advance FAQs

Advance includes dynamic leaderboards, progress trackers, and real-time campaign dashboards that update instantly as gifts are made. Donors can see live participation, class competitions, and campaign milestones, which creates momentum and social proof. 

These features turn giving days into interactive, community-driven experiences that inspire more alumni and supporters to give.

Advance is designed for fundraising teams of any size, from small advancement shops to large university development offices. Smaller teams benefit from built-in automation and templated campaigns, while larger teams use Advance to manage complex giving days, annual funds, and everyday online giving at scale. 

The platform streamlines the work, so even lean teams can launch professional, high-impact campaigns without needing extra staff or technical resources.

Both Advance and GiveCampus support higher education fundraising, but they take different approaches. 

Advance combines powerful, flexible giving forms, embedded payment processing, real-time analytics, and deep integration capabilities including seamless integrations with Graduway and Gratavid to help institutions raise more while doing less administrative work. 

While GiveCampus offers helpful tools for short-term campaigns, many institutions find GiveCampus more limiting for year-round engagement needs and more reliant on external payment processors, creating extra work for finance and advancement teams behind the scenes. Schools that want a comprehensive fundraising ecosystem choose Advance to increase participation and long-term alumni engagement. See the full comparison. 

Advance integrates directly with Salesforce, ensuring donor and gift data syncs seamlessly with your CRM. 

For institutions using other CRMs like Raiser’s Edge NXT or Slate, Advance supports data transfer through Importacular by Zeidman. This process allows teams to manually export donor action data – such as participation, interest, or digital interactions – from Advance and import it into their CRM. This flexibility ensures all giving activity is captured for accurate tracking and reporting.

Advance makes it easy to re-engage alumni who have gone quiet by creating engaging, gamified giving experiences through ambassador tools, leaderboards, and challenges. Campaigns can highlight impact stories, challenges, or giving day competitions to spark renewed participation. 

Plus, Advance integrates directly with Graduway, so advancement teams can embed giving forms and promote campaigns right inside their alumni networks in minutes. This seamless connection helps schools meet alumni where they are already engaged and drive more participation.
