As nonprofits encounter growing pressures, many funders are rethinking their approaches to learning, reporting, and accountability. Across the sector, there is a surge of interest in alternatives to extractive practices. These new methods aim to build trust, ease the burden on organizations, and promote deeper, more meaningful interactions.

Grantmaking often limits communication to formal reports after awards, focusing primarily on compliance rather than connection. This session invites funders to expand dialogue early and sustain it throughout the relationship, from application and award to ongoing reporting.

Join Blanch Vance (Grove Foundation) and Rachel Kimber (Full Circle Impact Solutions) for a candid, field-informed webinar about conversational reviews and other relationship-based reporting approaches. Together, they’ll explore practical strategies and real-world examples of moving beyond transactional processes toward relationship-centered grantmaking.

What You’ll Gain:

• Ways to incorporate conversation throughout the grantee relationship
• Strategies to align internal teams to support cultural change
• Examples of funders leading with relationship-driven grantmaking

Connecting with donors on a personal level is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. This webinar will equip you with the strategies to create individualized donor journeys that foster deeper engagement and inspire renewals and upgrades.

We’ll begin by exploring audience segmentation tactics, diving into methods like recency, monetary, frequency (RFM) analysis, interest-based categorization, and leveraging artificial intelligence (AI). Once we’ve established how to segment your audience, we’ll move on to compelling content ideas specifically designed to resonate with each unique segment.

Finally, we’ll delve into the practical mechanics of personalization, discussing how to implement these strategies via conditional content or automation or a combination of both, within your email campaigns.

The ability to analyze and act on your financial data is key to building an accountable and financially sustainable organization but you can’t do that if you’re spending all your time manipulating data to manually produce and distribute reports. Join Blackbaud and Reporting Xpress for a discussion about technology and tools that can help make your financial data accessible and actionable. You’ll see Blackbaud’s fund accounting solution in action and learn how it integrates with Reporting Xpress, an automated reporting and report distribution platform, to help your organization:

Save time on both sides of every information request (internal customers and finance department)

Improve service to ”internal customers” and enable non-financial users to quickly and securely access information

Make data-driven decisions and increase accountability across your organization

What is Reporting Xpress and PARIS?

Reporting Xpress is an automated Reporting and Report Distribution platform that integrates with Financial Edge NXT and Raiser’s Edge NXT via the SKY API. The platform can automate custom reports that are challenging for any number of reasons, such as: needing to run large volumes of reports (project reports), you must export data or reports to Excel and combine/massage the data there to get the desired results; reports that hinge on data from multiple systems being merged together, etc.

PARIS (Project Activity Reporting Information System) is a self-service portal and automated report generation and distribution platform that enables non-financial users to quickly and securely access information from Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT®️. PARIS leverages the power of and complements Financial Edge NXT. It sits in front of Financial Edge NXT, abstracting non-financial users from the complexity typical of an enterprise financial system.
