Turn University of Illinois Foundation donor data into a unified action plan
From restricted-gift complexity to complex-asset pipelines and first-time donor retention — RaiseTell turns your existing data into proactive, prioritized insights your gift officers can act on this week.

The University of Illinois Foundation's biggest data challenges — solved with RaiseTell
Each of these is a real operational reality for the Foundation. Here's how RaiseTell turns each one into a prioritized, fundable plan.
High Volumes of Restricted Giving
THE CHALLENGE
A significant portion of gifts to the University of Illinois Foundation are restricted to specific chairs, scholarships, and localized research — limiting flexibility and complicating donor-intent compliance.
HOW RAISETELL HELPS
RaiseTell tags and segments restricted vs. unrestricted giving across every fund, surfacing where flexible dollars are growing, where restricted concentration is rising, and which donors have a history of giving to broad institutional priorities.
- Identify donors most likely to convert to unrestricted or president-priority funds
- Track restricted-to-unrestricted ratio by college and fiscal year
- Flag overconcentration risk by purpose, faculty chair, or program
Nontraditional & Complex Asset Gifts
THE CHALLENGE
Generational wealth transfer is shifting giving toward farmland, real estate, DAFs, digital wallets, and crypto — each requiring specialized evaluation, holding, and liquidation processes.
HOW RAISETELL HELPS
RaiseTell segments and tracks complex-asset giving across your existing donor base — surfacing which donors have already given farmland, real estate, DAFs, digital wallets, or crypto, and how those cohorts are trending over time.
- Track existing complex-asset donors by gift type and value
- Monitor digital wallet and crypto donor cohorts as a distinct segment
- Trend reporting on non-cash gift volume across the Foundation
Retaining First-Time Donors
THE CHALLENGE
Megagifts smash headlines, but long-term financial health depends on first-time donors coming back for a second, third, and recurring gift. Without intervention, most new donors lapse after their first contribution.
HOW RAISETELL HELPS
RaiseTell's New Donor Conversion and Gift Count Trend insights pinpoint exactly where first-time donors are stalling or lapsing — and surface the individuals most likely to give again with the right outreach at the right moment.
- New-donor-to-second-gift conversion rate by giving level and channel
- Early-warning flags for first-time donors at risk of lapsing
- Prioritized lists of new donors ready to upgrade into recurring giving
