Higher Education Services

Build the higher ed website your students, donors, and community actually use.

A donor wants to honor their father’s retirement with a tribute to your school of business. It’s 10 p.m. They are on their phone. In under three minutes, they find the right fund, adds a message, completes the gift, and their father receives a personal acknowledgment. No redirects. No confusion. No abandoned donation.

THE CHALLENGE The Quiet Crisis Inside Your Website

Higher education leaders are being asked to do more with less: reach new audiences, build non-tuition revenue, support lifelong learning, prove community impact, and engage alumni earlier and more often. Meanwhile, the digital experience you offer is segmented, restrictive and working against you.

THE CHALLENGE The Same Supporter - Different Experiences

How Red Van Removes the barriers between your supporters and your institution.

Fundraising Efforts

Each fund/campaign needs its own microsite requiring weeks of development time, payment capture, and integrations.

Launch In Hours, Not Weeks

Create themed microsites all within your platform.  Each site has its own personalized appeals driven by data already in your ecosystem.

 

Giving In Memory Of A Loved One

A donor lands on a generic form, enters tribute information into a blank text field, and hopes someone reads it. There is no way to set up a recurring gift — missing an opportunity to gain predictable recurring revenue.

Effortless Tribute Giving

A guided tribute path with memorial giving and automatic acknowledgements to the honoree's family. Easy to set up recurring gifts or spread a pledge across payments.

 

Continuing Education Registration

A student finds their course, gets bounced to another portal to register, is forced to create a second account, can't pay with their digital wallet and eventually gives up.

Register, Pay, Start - In Minutes

Your course catalog, registration and checkout all live on the same site. Your learners can enroll at 11pm using their phone, go to bed and start the course in the morning.

 

Community Outreach

Whitepapers, community programs, and supplies are spread out over numerous sites. Your users must find those sites, create new accounts, and check out individually.

One Hub For Everything

All of your community services are highlighted and offered in one place with real time inventory and unified reporting.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE FOR YOUR INSTITUTION A True Central Hub for Every Relationship

Picture your website as a true central hub - not a brochure, not a directory of links to other sites,  but the digital front door that does the work of an entire team. 

Every transaction flows into the same Salesforce ecosystem you already use. Every relationship deepens. Every dollar is accounted for. And your team spends its time on strategy - not consolidating information.
