Frequently asked questions

Still have questions? Our team responds within one business day.

What types of school and university events can Almabase support?

Almabase is purpose-built for advancement teams — reunions, homecoming weekends, galas, giving days, donor cultivation dinners, parent weekends, chapter events, regional alumni meet-ups, virtual and hybrid programs, sponsorship-led events, and silent or live auctions. From a 30-person scholarship reception to a 5,000-attendee homecoming, the same platform scales.

Can Almabase manage multi-day events with multiple sub-events?

Yes — multi-day events with dozens of sub-events are our most common use case. Each sub-event gets its own ticketing, capacity, schedule, registration form, communications, and reporting. Guests build a personalised registration across the umbrella event in one flow, and your team manages the whole thing from a single dashboard.

How to organize a school event?

On Almabase, the workflow is: build a branded event page (no code, on your own domain), set up tickets and sub-events, pull live registration lists from your CRM, send invites and reminders over email and SMS, check guests in via the mobile app on event day, accept walk-in registrations and on-site payments, and sync every registration, gift, and interaction back to your CRM in real time. Each step is self-serve — chapter leads and central teams can run events without involving IT.

How does pricing work for Almabase event management software?

Pricing is based on your institution’s size and the modules you turn on — not per event or per attendee. There are no surprise per-registration fees. Talk to sales for a customised quote that includes onboarding, migration, and ongoing support.

Can Almabase integrate with Salesforce, Ellucian, or other databases?

Yes. TrueSync is our native two-way integration with Raiser’s Edge NXT and Blackbaud CRM, and we also support Salesforce (incl. Salesforce.org / EDA), Ellucian Advance and Banner, and a long list of other systems via APIs and SFTP. Most customers are live in their CRM within the first onboarding sprint.
