What it is
GiveCampus GC Outreach is a web-based paid platform for schools to send email and text messages from GiveCampus. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Washington, DC, it supports inviting, soliciting, and stewarding constituents without moving lists between separate tools. Users can write emails from scratch, use templates, or apply generative AI customized for educational fundraising. Recipient lists may come ready-made or be uploaded and filtered by constituent attributes. GC Intelligence generates targeted ask amounts, while personalization links direct donors to forms matched to their interests. Texting includes local area codes, segmentation, personalized signatures, and links to campaigns, forms, and events. First-time text opt-out wording can be customized, with opt-out lists manageable and exportable. Volunteer texting adds templates, role permissions, conversation management, and advocacy links. API, connector, direct CRM, and SFTP options support donor databases, including Raiser’s Edge NXT, Kindsight ascend, Affinaquest, Blackbaud CRM, Ellucian Advance and CRM Advance, Veracross, and Slate. Security features include SOC 2 Type 2, HECVAT, PCI attestations, GDPR and CCPA support, AWS availability and disaster recovery, SSO, multifactor authentication, and encryption. Pricing is on request.
