The Risks of Outsourcing Engagement to Standalone Agentic Providers
Givzey Version2.ai operates as a standalone AI layer that uses decades old integration techniques to connect to your CRMs through periodic refreshes. That creates friction, limits agent learning and visibility, and introduces governance and scale concerns for advancement teams.
-
Portfolio caps limit scale and the value of agentic AI engagement
-
Exporting and importing data adds risk and leaves gaps in your constituent records
-
Outsourced management of your fundraising agent cuts out your expertise and mission alignment
Why Blackbaud Development Agent Is Different
Development Agent is a native Agent for Good built for fundraising teams in their Blackbaud system of record, where your data, permissions, workflows and reporting already live.
Development Agent works alongside your fundraising team inside your CRM, expanding capacity to engage more donors at scale.
-
CRM-native by design to keep your fundraising team working all in one place
-
Performance and team centered, agent actions are all tracked and logged, working as part of your team
-
Truly scale with AI by assigning unlimited prospects, and sending unlimited SMS and emails
Expand Your Team, Don’t Outsource Them.
Development Agent works autonomously with your fundraising team, with a fundraiser as the Agent Manager. You remain in charge of your brand, your goals, your relationships.
-
A virtual AI team member that operates within Raiser’s Edge NXT, reaching their assigned donors individually
-
Manager-in-the-loop by design, the Agent escalates to your fundraising staff when needed for a great donor experience and enhanced trust
-
Trust but verify agent communication alignment, activities, performance and more right within your system of record to manage the Agent
| Key Differentiators | Blackbaud Development Agent | Givzey Version2.ai |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow | Built natively into the fundraising system of record you use today. Actions and data are real-time and in sync. | External bolt-on with periodic refreshes, SFTP transfers, and reported sync lag. Separate system, extra data management. |
| Governance & Visibility | All actions, opportunities, and reporting live in the CRM with permissions honored. | Separate system with portfolio caps and reporting outside the CRM. |
| Intelligence | 8x fundraising data and years of expertise. Development Agent works in the system of record referencing contextual, donor records and history. | Much shorter tenure of fundraising experience and data. Tool references limited fields from organizational database via export, enhancing them with information gathered from the web. |
| Scalability | Can scale across your entire database, without per-agent limits. | Capped at 1000 prospects, limiting agentic AI impact. |
As our organization has grown, partnerships and innovation have been essential in balancing efficiency with meaningful engagement and experience. The Development Agent supports this balance of having humans doing the work they need to be doing while using tools that strengthen our strategy and keep us building on our mission.”

Blackbaud Development Agent is built to support AI-powered fundraising workflows within the Blackbaud ecosystem, while Givzey Version2.ai focuses on AI-driven donor engagement and fundraising automation. The right fit depends on an organization’s goals, existing technology stack, and desired level of workflow integration.
Development Agent works alongside the rest of your fundraising team right within your CRM. This keeps you, a mission-driven fundraising manager and designated agent manager in charge, rather than outsourcing these donor conversations to strangers. Native solutions also keep your donor information securely within your system, rather than exposed via clunky import/exports or shared with other organizations.
Yes. With unlimited assigned prospects and scalable agentic AI, Blackbaud Development Agent can reach exponentially more donors with personalized 1:1 conversational engagement.
For most Raiser’s Edge and Blackbaud CRM customers, Blackbaud Development Agent is more affordable and a better return on investment for reaching multiple thousand donors individually. There are no caps or extra fees on prospects assigned, emails or text messages, unlike Givzey which requires you to purchase more and more agents in order to truly scale your engagement.
