Raise More

Whatever the size of the gift, growing revenue takes the right tool for the moment — and increasingly, the right AI working alongside your team to find it.

• Gift processing that keeps pace with growth—secure payment processing and gift management handle everything from a $25 gift to a multi-year pledge

• AI that builds your major gift pipeline—Prospect Insights identifies and prioritizes your best major giving candidates, so your team knows who to call first

• Recurring giving that grows on its own—built-in tools help you acquire, retain, and grow monthly donors without manual upkeep

• Giving experiences built to convert—online giving that increases completed gifts and upgrades, with fee-cover options that help more reach your mission

• More capacity without more headcount—Agents for Good™ work alongside your team on outreach sequencing and follow-up, always under your direction

• A clear stage for every relationship—track prospects through identification, qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship

Deepen Engagement

A donor who feels known gives again. AI in Raiser’s Edge NXT helps your team show up to every relationship prepared, consistent, and never starting from a blank page.

• Outreach that shows up prepared—Chat for Blackbaud AI drafts donor summaries and talking points in seconds, so conversations start informed

• Follow-through that never slips through the cracks—built-in guidance helps fundraisers plan next steps and keep stewardship consistent across their portfolio

• A giving experience donors actually enjoy—mobile-first forms, flexible payment options, and self-service portals meet supporters where they are

• Communication on the donor’s terms—flexible consent and channel preferences make sure every message reaches donors the way they actually want to hear from you

• The full story on every donor—email, events, and membership are built into Raiser’s Edge NXT, so your team sees every touchpoint, not fragments

• The right message, automatically—Workflow Designer builds multi-step email and outreach sequences triggered by the segments and conditions you set

Scale Confidently

Growth shouldn’t mean replacing your software every few years. Raiser’s Edge NXT is built to scale with you, from your first campaign to your largest, so the platform you start with is the one you can grow with.

• Start where you won’t have to leave—built for fundraising from the ground up, with the depth to scale from a regional nonprofit to an institution raising billions

• AI grounded in real fundraising context, not generic automation—built on decades of sector-specific data, so what it surfaces is meaningful and defensible

• Leadership alignment, built in—shared reporting means no one has to reconcile separate systems just to agree on what’s real

• A platform built to be extended—pro-code teams use SKY APIs, low-code teams use tools like Microsoft Power Automate, and Marketplace offers pre-built apps

• AI on your terms, from day one—a single org-level setting controls whether generative AI is active, off by default until an admin opts in

• Built to work with the systems you already run—gift and finance data stay reconciled with Financial Edge NXT, without manual exports or matching

Streamline Fundraising

Annual giving and major gifts are only part of the story. Raiser’s Edge NXT runs membership, giving societies, and planned giving in the same solution.

• Membership and patron programs, built in—manage upgrades, renewals, downgrades, and drops alongside the gifts that fund them, in the same system

• Legacy giving societies that maintain themselves—recognition programs for donors with planned or bequest gifts qualify and track automatically, no manual list-building

• Planned gifts tracked with the same rigor as every other gift—vehicles, assets, beneficiaries, and realized revenue are structured data, not a note in a file

• Corporate and employee gifts, without the wait—the Blackbaud Verified Network connects nonprofits to corporate giving programs, cutting disbursement from months to as little as 10 minutes

• Grant management without the spreadsheet chaos—track applications and deadlines in the same solution as your other cultivation work

• Peer-to-peer fundraising, natively connected—a built-in JustGiving integration syncs fundraiser, donor, and gift data straight into the same donor record

• A platform your technical team can build on—public developer access across constituents, gifts, memberships, and more lets your team extend Raiser’s Edge NXT on your terms
