AlumUnion
What it is
AlumUnion is a web platform for institutions building a branded online community for alumni, former students, members, supporters, and other stakeholders. A searchable member directory helps people find one another, while events can include RSVP tracking. Institutions select which tools to enable; options include forums, class notes, news, announcements, a job board, mentorship matching, and an opt-in alumni map. Portals can also support dues and fundraising, merchandise sales, and paid requests for services such as transcripts or certificates. The Institution platform plan costs nothing, with no setup fee, subscription, or per-member charge. Online payment fees may apply and are disclosed before payment. AlumUnion’s team helps configure branding, groups, administrators, imported member data, training, launch, and the first campaign. Each institution receives a branded AlumUnion subdomain, and a custom domain can be configured. The responsive web app works in phone browsers and can be added to a phone’s home screen. Payments are handled by a licensed provider; AlumUnion says it does not store full card numbers or mobile money PINs.
