Graduway review
A broad web-based alumni platform for institutions focused on mentoring and giving.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Graduway is an online alumni engagement platform from Gravyty for higher education institutions and other organizations. It brings alumni communities, mentoring, events, giving, career networking and communications into a branded portal. Institutions can support formal and flash mentoring, searchable directories, affinity groups, community spaces, event registration, donation pages, automated digests, newsletters and email campaigns. Integrated video messaging and alumni-to-student career connections broaden its engagement options beyond a basic directory or event calendar.
Its strongest fit is for institutions that want mentoring and fundraising to sit alongside alumni communications. Event creation, registration, RSVP tracking, reminders and attendance reporting support participation workflows, while integrated giving forms and donation pages provide a direct fundraising layer. Real-time analytics and reporting help administrators monitor engagement. Integrations with Raiser’s Edge NXT, Salesforce, Handshake, Simplicity, Advance and Gratavid can support connections with fundraising, relationship-management, career and video systems.
Graduway uses customized pricing based on institution size and alumni-community requirements, so the buying process is oriented toward a sales conversation rather than a fixed plan comparison. The published platform scope is broad, but it is web-only, which may not suit organizations seeking a listed native mobile experience. Institutions choosing Graduway should prioritize a branded, multi-purpose community with mentoring, giving and events. Organizations looking mainly for a lightweight directory or a narrowly focused event tool may find its wider feature set and customized purchasing model less suitable.
