Grant Fueled Growth CRCDS secured a $1M Lilly Endowment grant to launch Pathways for Partnership: Reimagining Theological Education for a Multi-Vocational and Practitioner-Led Future. This indicates openness to tech-enabled program design and external funding partnerships, offering a sales angle for LMS deployments, edtech integration, and collaboration tools tailored to religious studies.

Cloud and Security The tech stack includes Cloudflare, Microsoft 365, Azure, and Windows Server, signaling readiness for cloud optimization and security enhancements. Opportunities include cloud modernization, Azure AD identity management, M365 security improvements, and CDN/DNS services to protect and accelerate campus digital experiences.

Campus Expansion A new Rochester campus location opened in 2025 at the Sibley Triangle Building, creating needs for network integration, classroom technology, AV, Wi-Fi, and campus-wide communications. Potential offerings include managed IT services, classroom tech deployments, unified communications, and scalable network monitoring across sites.

Fundraising Enablement With hires in development and alumni engagement and revenue in the low-to-mid millions, CRCDS emphasizes donor relations growth. Opportunities exist for a donor CRM, fundraising campaign automation, events management, and tool integrations (e.g., Dynamics 365 or Salesforce) to boost donor retention and giving.

Enrollment and Reach The institution focuses on multi-religious studies and reimagined theological education, with active use of analytics tools like Google Analytics. Solutions include LMS implementation for online programs, marketing automation, SEO/content strategy, and enrollment analytics to optimize student recruitment.
