"As donor expectations evolve, stewardship is no longer about static PDFs or paper mailings that may never be opened," said Jean Marie Richardson, CEO of iFOLIO.

"Today's donors expect curated, personalized experiences with engaging digital content they can access instantly. iFOLIO not only delivers that elevated experience, but also provides real-time insight into when communications are delivered, opened, and acted on. Northeastern is pioneering this new model across its global network, setting a higher standard for philanthropy and donor engagement in higher education."

iFOLIO's Impact in Higher Education includes supporting more than $4 billion in philanthropic contributions across 23 universities.

Through iFOLIO, Northeastern has already transformed donor communications from static documents into dynamic, personalized reports featuring videos, animations, flipping panes about impact, links to more stories, and real-time analytics. This approach has not only streamlined operations but also provided measurable insights to guide future donor strategy.

This Northeastern initiative powers:

  • 1 million+ digital communications annually, including endowment reports, impact reports, annual reports, dean's reports, and more
  • Custom CRM integration to automate data flows and unlock actionable insights.
  • Scaling personalized stewardship across 13 global campuses with interactive digital storytelling.
