I got the same contact from GradMail. I reached out and they said they have had a stronger marketing effort this year which is why they are giving back to more institutions. Essentially they donate $3.00 per subscriber to the school which they've identified. It is $3 per subscriber. My school is not required to do anything to receive these monies, as it is part of their giveback program.

Hello,
We have been contacted about receiving a check from GradMail too. What I find odd about it is they are reaching out to our university but want to know who the designee is. Wouldn't that be our university that the "donor" specified? Seems like an innocent question yet seems fishy at the same time. Anyone else getting similar contact?
Thanks,
Christine

Good morning,
Does anyone have experience with GradMail and/or used its services for alumni email? Interested to hear about your experience and how the end of year donation works. Is it truly unrestricted or strings attached. Does it function similar to Amazon Smile?
Thanks in advance for your insight.
