Civly ranks alumni and boosters using documented giving, public records of financial capacity, and public ties to your program. Each claim links to its source, with contact details attached where available. Collective donor rolls are not public.
Read this first
The sources we use and the information they can provide.
Giving, capacity, and affinity are scored separately. Each signal links to a filing or public post so you can decide whom to contact first.

Every line above traces to a filing or a public post — an IRS 990, a published honor roll, a corporate or deed record, a LinkedIn profile, or something the person said in public. Where there is nothing on file, the report says so instead of inferring a number. None of it is a record of anything given to a collective. The same filings do show the scale of the money around a program: across 54 Division I programs, booster foundations out-raise NIL collectives 17 to 1.
You can read the program-level picture before you commission anything. The College Sports Money explorer is free and carries a page for each of the 358 Division I schools, with that department’s revenue and expenses, its rank against its peers, the cost of every sport it fields, and the booster foundation or collective verified as funding it. For 304 of the 358 no funder clears verification, and the page says exactly that. Collective Prospecting is the next step: the named people behind the money, each traced to a filing or a public post.
Most programs already have a list and no idea which names are worth the call. Some have neither.
Collective Prospecting, answered.
No. Collective donor rolls are not public records. We use published giving records and public information about a person’s financial capacity.
Three places. Published donor honor rolls at universities and museums, which name donors in gift bands. Private-foundation grant schedules filed with the IRS, which list every grant a foundation made and to whom. And the officers, directors and trustees named on nonprofit 990s. What we cannot see is an individual’s direct gift to a charity — that donor schedule is redacted in the public copy of a 990.
Not in the usual sense. We do not hand you a modelled net-worth number for a private individual. We report what is actually on file — the role and seniority on their LinkedIn profile, officer roles and business registrations, property and deed records, SEC holdings — and let you draw the inference, with the source attached.
A giving record and a connection to your program can help you prioritize outreach. Alumni with strong ties but less capacity may be better prospects for a small recurring gift.
We attach the contact information Civly already holds for a person, and we tell you which fields we hold and which we do not. Treat it as a starting point for outreach rather than a guaranteed reach.
It depends on the source, and the list says so per field. IRS 990s are annual and typically land six to eighteen months after the year they cover, so foundation and nonprofit-leadership data is the slowest. Corporate and deed records update as they are filed. Social affinity is current. Every list states its cutoff on the first page.
We will score a sample from it so you can see the signal before you commit to anything.
