We launched our new organization, Ember, late in 2025 and Zeffy made it easy for us to receive donations from our alumni community. We started with nothing and were able to activate our community and engage them in supporting us thanks to our Zeffy platform. We're well on our way to continue to cultivate the next generation of entrepreneurial builders and leaders across the country.

Because we have an existing alumni base of 1,600, Zeffy helped us gauge how we can engage alumni and turn them into regular donors and supporters through their recurring donations function. We have great data points that gives us confidence in creating an alumni revenue stream and long-term, create membership contributions that can help us be financially sustainable.
