AlumDeck

Use cases

Start from the job in front of you.

Most committees do not buy alumni software in the abstract. They buy it because a reunion is coming, an appeal needs a home, or the school's history is about to be lost. Here is what AlumDeck does for each of the three, with demo pages to check it against.

Use cases

Three reasons committees start.

Each page shows the parts of AlumDeck the job uses, a first-month plan and where it stops.

  • Class reunion website

    One event page, RSVPs counted against the hall capacity, free QR tickets checked in at the door, and a private room for each class year.

    Plan a reunion
  • Alumni fundraising website

    Appeals with running totals, every gift recorded by the committee, a numbered receipt for each donor and a CSV for the treasurer.

    Run an appeal
  • School heritage archive

    A timeline, In Memoriam with the family's consent, a hall of fame, and a photo archive old pupils add to.

    Keep the history

Who it's for

Or read by who you are.

    Volunteer committees that change at every AGM. A site the next committee inherits, with a login for every post.

    For associations

    An alumni office of two or three people and forty batches. No per-record or per-seat fee.

    For colleges
  • Schools

    One member of staff, a spreadsheet of leavers and a cupboard of photographs. A renewal nobody has to defend.

    For schools

Questions

About the use cases

Do we buy each use case separately?

No. They are three ways of using the same install. One licence at $49 a year covers every feature, so a reunion site can take on an appeal and a history archive later without paying for anything else.

Is a use case a template we install?

No. There are no templates to choose between. Each use case is a set of modules you switch on and pages you fill in: events for a reunion, giving for an appeal, history and galleries for an archive. The homepage is built from seven block types, so it can lead with whichever matters this year.

Can we start with a reunion and add the rest later?

Yes. Modules switch on and off in Settings, and the members who registered for the reunion are the list your first appeal and your call for old photographs go to.

Which of these does the live demo show?

All three. The demo college has a Class of 2011 reunion on 24 October 2026, three appeals (one closed after passing its target) and a history timeline from 1966, with In Memoriam, a hall of fame and an archive by decade.
