Tools to Make Alumni a Living Resource

Alumni want meaningful ways to engage. PeopleGrove ensures institutions can deliver with efficient tools that manage programs, mobilize graduates, and prove ROI.

Alumni-to-Student Mentorship

Empower alumni to share advice and guide current students (and fellow alums) through structured mentoring programs and networking opportunities. These connections strengthen professional development for students while inspiring continued alumni involvement with the institution.

Volunteer Board & Event Management

Simplify the planning, coordination, and execution of volunteer-driven initiatives, including advisory boards and campus events. PeopleGrove makes it easier to find and mobilize graduates and demonstrate the impact of their engagement.

Affinity-Based Digital Communities

Build specialized online spaces that connect alumni over common interests, academic programs, industries, or geographies. Micro-communities encourage ongoing interaction and collaboration, giving alumni multiple reasons to remain active in the university’s ecosystem.

Centralized, Actionable Insights

PeopleGrove connects seamlessly with existing advancement and CRM systems, consolidating engagement data for a holistic view. By tracking mentorship participation, event involvement, community contributions, and giving behavior in one place, institutions can measure ROI, identify high-potential alumni, and design programs that promote giving.

Mentorship: The Connection Alumni Want & Schools Need

“We hear from alumni that they want this type of connection, and we understand the value [mentorship] can create — it deepens connections, engagement, and support to the school.”

Ally Favre

Director of Advancement, McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis

A Record-Breaking Campaign Fueled by First-Time Donors

“We all know that larger gifts drive the campaign, but we wanted to include everyone. We had well over 78,000 donors, and nearly half of them were first-time donors to the university. We were really proud about that, and it distinguished this campaign from others.”

Heather Potts Brown

Associate Vice President for Development, Villanova University
