Opportunities exist to implement donor CRM, fundraising analytics, and campaign management to grow annual giving and major gifts.

Athletics Growth Investments in head coaches for basketball and volleyball, and campus partnerships, signal a focus on recruitment and student engagement through athletics. Potential sales avenues include athletics CRM, scheduling and event management, performance analytics, and fan engagement solutions.

Community Partnerships The Carter Blood Care collaboration for a HBCU Blood Donation Battle and Tyler-based presence create opportunities for campus branding, recruitment marketing, event management, and regional partnerships. Services such as digital marketing, website optimization, SEO, and partnership program development could help raise visibility and enrollment.
