Raiser's Edge NXT and database version are utilized by our university to keep track of alumni, friends and donors to the institution. I query data on a regular basis to create thank you letters and scholarship impact reports. When I encounter outdated information I email the data services team to get it updated.

I personally utilize the system to go in and gather all funder information from individual donors to corporations and foundation. We have a specific staff person who runs reports on different groups and creates emails lists that go out for specific individual campaigns. For example we just pulled a roster of all alumni for a camp we are about to re-open and were able to tailor an email to go out just for them. The system for me is a great organization tool and also holds any funding agreements with reporting info. While I am not the most technical user I know staff says nothing but great things and I personally find the platform user friendly for my needs.

Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT's database information feeds right into Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT making my job, as a Development Officer, much easier and more efficient. The convenient web-based product allows me quick access on the go too. I can use my smartphone to get into Edge NXT whenever I need info on the go.

We utilize Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT for fundraising management, as well as our credit card transactions, event support and more. The tools are simple to use and improves efficiency for our small office. Being cloud-based assists with being able to access the files anywhere and also having several login options enables our office to allow others access to the information they need. In talking to colleagues at other institutions, I feel we definitely have the best product for our needs!

As an Advancement Assistant, I use RE daily for database management and fundraising and for supporting the activities of the Advancement Department. We have been using RENXT for about 1.5 years. We have used Blackbaud's Raisers Edge since 2010. I currently use RENXT primarily for managing online donations, receipting, and tracking actions. I currently continue to use RE database view for most of my research, reporting and exporting as well as database management tasks.

Our organization uses RE NXT primarily as a tool for fundraisers (development team) to manage their portfolio of donors, prospects, and others involved in our organization. It solves the problem of fundraisers not having a central place to manage their portfolio or having to rely on our database manager for information related to their portfolio and fundraising efforts.

I use Blackbaud Rasier's Edge NXT to research constituents, create and manage events, and for everyday marketing emails. It helps to create a one stop shop for all my needs. I am able to pull mailing lists easily as well as look at constituent data to see potential donors. I use NXT every day in my job.

My work in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is mostly in the backside of Raiser's Edge (RE), processing gifts, updating data, query searches and list pulling. I wish we could do an update via NXT and have it show in RE is cases where a duplicate profile is found and needs to be merged. Some of the information that was put in via NXT will not move with the merge in RE. I do however list the event lists in NXT are easier reading and understanding than in RE.

I'm a front line fundraiser, I use it daily to help me track and work my moves management. Using reports, capturing contact information and proposals. Seeing organization goals, individual goals and actions on our constituents across campus. Tracking event and meeting attendees. Giving and wealth information resources are key to our prospect management as well.

Blackbaud NXT is utilized as our main donor database as well as system that captures our online donations. This space helps us capture information and make donor cultivation decisions. NXT solved many of our problems in capturing donor information, forecasting giving trends and donor communications. We could successfully see how we were doing on our fundraising goals.

Donor management of over 4,000 donor records which contain giving history, event participation, all contact information, and a record of all donor contacts. We are able to view wealth ratings and donor giving capacity, keep journal notes, actions for each individual donor, and relationships with other donors. We are also able to soft credit gifts to funds, donor-advised funds, and employers.

We use Blackbaud Raiser' Edge NXT to keep constituent contact info current and up to date. We use the notes and action features to maintain info related to constituent stewardship and cultivation. We also use the gifts section to enter gifts, generate receipts, and keep copies of receipts and thank you letters for each constituent's giving record.

We are a medium-large organization and we have a lot of customization for gift and donor coding, we bring all our transactions and new donors through ImportOmatic due to the volume. Most of our end user prefer to work in database view because offers more flexibility than NXT. Everybody in my organization feels like NXT is a half baked product because of limitations, for example we use gift codes for donor segmentation and reporting, that field is not available in any module of NXT or Insight designer.

We use Blackbaud everyday. Especially NXT. We are a non profit radio station that uses the BB suite. NXT is just one application of the BB suite we use. It is perfect for Major Gift Officers to use to track moves management, as well as Prospecting etc. We also use NXT to create lists for our needs. That could be donor list to a list of people that went to a certain event. There are endless possibilities that you can use NXT. The greatest thing about NXT is the ease of use and being able to be anywhere at anytime and get donor information when you need it.

1. To Access database view since we cannot process credit cards on NXT as well as other functions. 2. To access security 3. Email our newsletter. I would say the product was a waste if not for the latter.

We track all contacts with our donors, all gifts, mailings, prospective donors, ratings on donors, biographical data, etc. We track all the appeals and campaigns that we fundraise under. Anything that has to do with fundraising is housed in NXT. It keeps the data on our donors organized and easily retrieved and reported on.
