What is Blackbaud SKY?

Blackbaud’s various SKY initiatives ensure that users like you can expect a consistent, high-quality, extendable experience in any Blackbaud solutions.

  • "SKY API" is the name of Blackbaud's modern, open architecture. Blackbaud SKY provides a set of capabilities that can be used across all Blackbaud solutions. For details about SKY API for schools, see our online help.

  • SKY Reporting refers Analysis you see in many Blackbaud solutions.

  • SKY UX refers to the user experience and design principles for new product developments and enhancements to Blackbaud solutions.

    Note: If you use both “Blackbaud's Education Management” and Raiser's Edge NXT, you may notice that “Blackbaud's Education Management” solutions gradually look and work more like the "NXT" solutions as we continue to enhance the Education Management solutions.

Your school does not need to take any additional actions to get SKY.
