Higher education fundraising software

A personalized website for every major donor to your university.

Ovrture turns the data in your CRM into a personal website for every major donor, from the report that honors one gift to the proposal that asks for the next, at a scale any team can carry.

A donor's personal website: the 2025 report for the invented donor Diana Castle from the invented Ovrture Institute of Technology, opening with a personal letter over a campus photo.

01Stewardship

A report for every fund and every donor, even with hundreds of funds.

Donors to scholarships and endowed funds want to know what their fund did this year. Your team builds each of those donors a website from your fund data and the stories your communications team and surveys gather: their fund, the students it supported and what changed. Then Ovrture shows you who opened their report and what they read.

02Cultivation

Your best prospects have already given.

The donor who reads this year’s fund report is often the donor who makes the next gift. On Ovrture, the same website grows with the relationship: the report that thanks a donor for one gift sets up the proposal that asks for the next.

Take Diana Castle, who endowed the Castle Fellowship in Aligned AI at the Ovrture Institute of Technology a year ago. Her first report introduces the fellows her gift supports. When the institute asks for her next gift, the proposal starts from results she has already seen, and her gift officer knows what she read before the meeting.

$15M

A major gift closed after the analytics showed that the donor opened his report and watched the videos, and read none of the written sections. The team stopped writing and rebuilt his next proposal as video only.

“Recently, Gideon and Remy dropped everything to walk us through last-minute questions so we could flawlessly release a new proposal site. At the same time, they were successfully managing the transition of our printed endowment report to a polished digital format.”

06Questions

What campus teams ask first.

What is higher education fundraising software?
It is software that helps a college or university advancement office raise and steward gifts. Most campuses run a CRM as the system of record. Ovrture works on top of the CRM and turns each major donor’s record into a personal website, from the stewardship report for a fund they gave to the proposal for their next gift.
Which colleges and universities use Ovrture?
Advancement teams at Amherst College, Boston University, DePaul University, Dickinson College, Jefferson Scholars Foundation, Lehigh University, Muhlenberg College, North Carolina State University, Rice University, Saint Joseph’s University, Texas Christian University, U.S. Naval Academy Foundation, University of British Columbia, University of Colorado Denver, University of Miami, University of South Florida, University of Virginia, University of Virginia Law School Foundation, Virginia Commonwealth University and Wesleyan University use Ovrture. They are among the 65+ organizations that use it across education, healthcare and cultural institutions.
Does Ovrture work with our CRM?
Ovrture has live connections to Blackbaud CRM, Salesforce, Raiser’s Edge NXT and BrightVine DataLink. For other systems, Ovrture connects through its Open API.

Yes. It covers a full year of operation, with sixty controls tested and no exceptions noted. Ovrture also holds TX-RAMP Level 2 certification and a VPAT accessibility report.
Can each school or college use its own brand?
Yes. Each school, college or affiliated foundation publishes under its own mark, and a donor sees the unit they gave to. Roles are set per unit, and central advancement sees across all of them.
