Raising Insight transforms advancement data into insight, giving institutions the tools to plan smarter, fundraise more effectively, and achieve long-term success.
Raising Insight is a trusted, long-term partner to educational institutions. We work alongside advancement organizations continuously—helping them address evolving strategic, operational, and technical needs. Our focus is on providing comprehensiveness, continuity, and lasting value.
In advancement, “reporting” goes far beyond basic data output. It covers operational support for data entry and quality, integrations with other systems, tactical insights for campaigns and programs, and strategic dashboards that communicate progress, KPIs, and forecasts to leadership.
Institutions need a solution built for this complexity: robust enough for today, adaptable enough for tomorrow.
Raising Insight provides a proven reporting and analytics platform purpose built for advancement and deployed successfully at some of the nation’s largest universities.
Built on Microsoft Azure SQL databases and Power BI Services, ABI emphasizes simplicity, scalability, and maintainability, avoiding expensive or overly complex tools. Institutions can manage the platform with small teams, while Raising Insight supplements staff with deep technical and domain expertise when needed.
"Payback was clear with even the first round of report improvements. What we immediately saw helped stimulate the conversation around monthly targets; growing and stretching every team member toward a more sophisticated fact-based approach."
“This is the information our board expects to see. We are confident that we have the ability to use information to present and support decision making.”
Raising Insight transcends the traditional vendor role, operating as an ongoing strategic partner rather than a project-focused contractor. We collaborate closely with advancement organizations to address their evolving technical, operational, and strategic needs over time. This partnership model emphasizes:
"Our CRM databases contain a wealth of data and provide opportunity to guide our actions with insight into the nature of our alumni, donors, and prospects. Unfortunately it can be very difficult to extract information from them. "
“By implementing carefully well thought out, well designed ABI reports, we could leapfrog years ahead. We are able to share useful meaningful reports with our users, and our back-end developers have saved years of time.”
“The work being done by other institutions sharing this platform provides valuable ‘thought-starters’ for us. Sharing and exchanging insights from best practice institutions gives us the ability to adopt and evolve rapidly. As a cohort, discussing the problems we are each trying to solve drives each of us to new innovation"
Your new Advancement CRM System will not provide all the reporting and management information you need.
CRM replacement projects often underestimate reporting. At go-live, many institutions experience a loss of reporting capability, creating disruption, frustration, and unexpected costs. Too often, reporting is left to small teams or individuals working without a comprehensive framework, relying on multiple tools and specialized expertise. The result is costly, inefficient, and unsustainable.
Complexity, constraints, and limitations create substantial challenges with accuracy, consistency, and productivity of report development and information analysis.
Staff resources do not keep pace with the innovation demanded by Alumni Relations, Development and Communications.
