    that are using BBDW source views. An update will be posted by 9:30 AM this morning.
    Thank you for your patience.

  • Campaign Gift Tags

    No action is needed on your part, but we wanted to let you know you will soon see these
    tags in TED.

  • Campaign Reports

    “As we prepare for the upcoming campaign launch,
     we've seen an increase in people running campaign
     reports, especially the Campaign Revenue report. 
     We want to make you aware of an important
     change to avoid confusion. 

     All of the existing campaign reports in TED are built
     on data from the prior campaign, not the upcoming one.
     Because access had not previously been removed, 
     many users could still run them and may have
     mistaken the results for current campaign information. 

    To prevent that, access to the campaign reports are
    locked down for now. We are working to rebuild the
    reports against new campaign data.

     What this means for you:
         •  You will not be able
            to open or run the 
             reports listed above
             until they are rebuilt 
             and re-released.
         •   Please do not rely
             on any previously 
             exported or saved
             versions of these
             reports for upcoming
             campaign planning,
             since they reflect the
             prior campaign.

    Communication will be sent once the new campaign reports are available. 
    Thank you for your patience!”

  • Checkbox in TED - Do not use: UPDATE

    *UPDATE 10/9/2026: We will be hiding this "Do not text message this phone number" field in TED.  It has been deemed unnecessary at this time and will be removed from any records it is populated on.  Please email Tami Gillespie (tdiorio@uif.uillinois.edu) if you have any questions.

    For those who have access to add or edit phone numbers in TED, you may have seen a checkbox labeled “Do not text message this phone number”.  This came in one of our past Blackbaud ServicePack updates.

     We ask that you do not use this checkbox as it is not working the way it was intended.  

     UIF will be working internally to both fix the issue and determine best practices on its use. Once that is complete, we will post an update.

  • Accounting and Fund Management Changes Coming This Fall

    Be on the lookout for important changes as the University of Illinois Foundation transitions
    to new accounting software later this fall:

    • Some Static Designation Reports and Accounting Monthly Reports will be updated,
       replaced, or phased out (historic reports will remain available).
    • Gift fund balance transfers (“sweeps”) to University of Illinois Banner accounts
      will occur monthly rather than weekly.

    Details (including end-user impact and specific reporting changes) will be forthcoming,
    and training opportunities will be available to facilitate this transition for advancement staff.
