Your student logs in and sees their course schedule load. Grades, financial aid status, dining hours, emergency alerts — all pulled live from your SIS via API. Your alumnus searches 50,000 profiles by industry, finds a mentor in their target company, and books a call. Behind both experiences: Supabase Row-Level Security, so each user sees only their own data. Alumni profiles stay Google-indexable — individually crawlable pages that generate organic traffic instead of sitting in a database nobody opens. SSO connects to your CAS, Shibboleth, or SAML 2.0 stack, so nobody abandons the portal because they forgot another password. Stripe recurring donations tie directly to impact tiers, so your advancement office stops losing donors the moment they graduate and forget to come back.

構築する内容
Engagement crashes post-graduation — your advancement office loses recurring donors and mentorship pipelines worth millions every cycle
Student data scatters across SIS, LMS, email, paper — your students miss financial aid deadlines and never see emergency alerts until too late
Alumni directories rot in static PDFs or untouched databases — your 50,000+ profiles generate zero organic search traffic or networking value
Giving pages stay generic with no impact context — your donors drop off because they can't see where money goes, conversion rates stay below 2%
SSO integration with SAML 2.0, CAS, or Shibboleth breaks — your students abandon portals the moment they're asked for another credential set
Mentor matching stays manual and unscalable — your programs serve 50 students instead of 5,000 because there's no system to connect them

よくある質問
How does Supabase Auth handle university SSO protocols like SAML 2.0 and Shibboleth?
Supabase Auth supports SAML 2.0 natively for SSO delegation. For CAS and Shibboleth, we build a lightweight auth middleware that translates protocol responses into Supabase JWTs. Students authenticate through your existing identity provider — no new credentials. The JWT carries role claims that trigger Row-Level Security policies in PostgreSQL.
How does AI mentor matching work for alumni and students?
Students fill out a profile describing their career goals, interests, and target industries. Claude analyzes this against the alumni directory — factoring in graduation program, current role, industry, and location — and returns 5 ranked mentor recommendations with relevance explanations. If the student requests an introduction, the system sends a personalized email to the alumnus with context on why the match makes sense.
Can 50,000 alumni profiles really be indexed by Google?
Yes. Each alumni profile gets a unique URL with structured data markup, proper meta tags, and server-side rendering via Next.js. Google crawls and indexes them individually. When someone searches "[Name] [University] alumni," that profile ranks. Alumni who want more privacy can opt out of public indexing while still appearing inside the authenticated directory.
How does Row-Level Security protect student data?
PostgreSQL RLS policies run at the database level — not the application layer. Every query is filtered by the authenticated user's JWT. A student querying grades only gets their own records back. An alumni member only sees profiles where the owner has enabled visibility. Even if there's an API misconfiguration, the database itself enforces the access boundaries.
What does the Stripe giving integration include?
We build impact-tiered recurring donation flows where each tier shows exactly what the gift funds. Stripe handles PCI compliance, recurring billing, and payment methods. We add matching gift employer lookups, annual giving campaign pages with progress bars, and automated year-end tax receipt emails with full donation summaries. The advancement office gets a dashboard showing giving trends and donor retention over time.
Can this portal integrate with our existing CRM like Salesforce or Blackbaud?
Absolutely. We build webhook-based integrations that sync donor records, event registrations, and mentoring activity to your CRM in real time. For Salesforce, we use the REST API. For Blackbaud, we use their SKY API. Alumni profile updates, giving transactions, and engagement metrics flow directly into your advancement team's existing workflows — no manual data entry required.
