UTFI sees a 23% increase in online giving after transitioning to GiveCampus

The University of Tennessee Foundation, Inc. (UTFI), raises financial, public, and political support for five campuses and three institutes. Discover why they chose to move online giving for all seven instances to GiveCampus.

UTFI partnered with GiveCampus in June of 2023

When the Foundation decided to upgrade their CRM in 2022, they also went shopping for new alumni- and donor-facing digital tools to replace their 12-year-old legacy platform. They chose GiveCampus.

With easy, out-of-the-box tools for matches, challenges, and advocacy, our team would no longer have to rely on contractors to set those up for each giving day. We also loved that GiveCampus would provide a comprehensive campaign report, making it easier than ever to review our strategy post campaign and make data-based decisions moving forward.
