KindKatch In Action
Oakland University Athletics was executing an internal Day of Giving with their audience of athletic alumni and donors. With 19 different varsity sports in their program, they knew each audience segment deserved personalized outreach, and there is no better engaging experience than athletic alumni or donors hearing from the coach of their past sport or the sport they support financially.

Whether an athletics event, a fundraising initiative, or a team activity, using KindKatch allows us to tell our stories in creative ways that strengthen the connection between the athletics department and audience and has led to fundraising successes.”
– Steve Waterfield, Athletic Director at Oakland University
Campaign Details and Key Results Cases
Fundraising Campaign
Using KindKatch, Oakland University Athletics created 28 pieces of coach-generated content quickly and easily for 14 sports segments. Each coach made a “day of” fundraising appeal video as well as a “day after” thank you video for all donors. A scalable template from a KindKatch-made playbook allowed for each donor receiving the video message to have a personalized feel with a low lift for the OU team.
