Inclusions and Exclusions

Inclusions:

  • Alumni with valid contact information- selects all alumni who have a home, business, or other valid contact address on the database
  • Alumni donors-anyone who has made a gift during a discrete fiscal year period

Exclusions:

  • Alumni without a valid address on their record are not considered "reachable", and therefore are not factored into the participation rate
  • Currently we do not include alumni with only a valid email address (i.e. require a valid address)
