Advancement

Participation of alumni giving to the University of Waterloo as of 2012/13

The Advancement database - Raiser's Edge

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)
