    "We are very pleased with our decision to go with Slate for Advancement and have the utmost respect for Technolutions and their approach to software and customer service. With Slate, there are so many possibilities for what you can build with the tool. You're limited only by the time you have to imagine and build! We are happy to be a part of a community that supports each other and to work with a vendor that listens to its customers and pivots to meet their needs."

    Deb Chaulk | Associate VP of Advancement Operations

  • Kent State University

    "I would highly recommend Slate to any Advancement or Annual Giving team. It is a great communications tool and is infinitely customizable. This kind of fast-moving innovation is rare in the world of higher-ed CRMs. As an Advancement school, now is a great time to grow with Slate and be a part of it."

    Daniel Porter | Senior Associate Director, Digital Communications

  • “The main winning aspect was that all touch points of the donor’s record would be managed, maintained, and updated in one location. We would not be reliant on a third-party vendor for main aspects like e-mail or texting or calling or payment processing. Slate for Advancement has an approach to technology that is embracing of our modern world of technology that I have not seen in other vendors.”

    Lloyd Lentz | Macalester College

  • “Slate has allowed information sharing and data integration, reducing our CRM needs from over 6 different systems into one. For example, the student call center is not managed solely out of Slate and all data is captured, collected, and then reported out of the system so that students can receive call lists, review the records they're calling, perform the call out of the system, collect gifts or other information through a form submission, communicate follow up with donors through email, text, or video. All of this is done out of Slate allowing for all users to see interactions of donors / records, and easy triggers for follow up to be automated.”

    Gina Mandros | Illinois Wesleyan University

  • “Slate is the CRM that we use to store and manage all of our Alumni, donors, friends of the college, and more. Slate for Advancement is very customizable. Every day we learn new things Slate can do, and Technolutions is constantly updating the software based on customer feedback. Overall, Slate for Advancement was the more innovative option. If we dream it, Slate for Advancement can most likely do it.”

    Ashlin Tabiadon | Albion College

  • “Slate for Advancement is the smart and strategic choice. You get a huge bang for the buck with Slate. From the internal user perspective, you don't need extensive or even moderate understanding of sql, html, css, or javascript to create rich and engaging interactions with the general public. Of course, those skills wouldn't hurt if you have them! In other words, you don't need a team of programmers to maintain your event pages, forms, or customizations in general.”

    Keith McCants | Queens University of Charlotte
