Raiser's Edge

We use Raiser's Edge to manage all of our donations. It helps us have a single place to locate all donor and giving data.

RE serves as the constituent database for my organization. It contains approximately 200k records. It is being used across the whole organization as the primary relationship and fundraising database. The departments that utilize the database the most are the major gifts and direct mail teams, with the support provided by prospect management and gift entry teams.

Raisers Edge is our fundraising database, used by our entire Institutional Advancement department. Raisers Edge allows us to securely and accurately track our contributions and pledges and accurately reconcile with our finance department. There are many tools within the database that allow for additional customer relationship management tracking, including recognition preferences, event participation, and corporate and interpersonal relationships.

Raiser’s Edge is used by both the development and accounting departments at my organization. We use it to track, record, and report constituent giving, as well as event attendance and prospect information. The Raiser's Edge, in combination with Financial Edge, allows us to keep detailed financial records and generate detailed reports.

Raiser’s Edge is used by the advancement division at my organization, which includes the development, events, and membership departments. Raiser’s Edge is used to track and report on constituent giving whether it’s an outright donation, an event ticket, or a membership purchase. The software allows us to keep a detailed giving history on each constituent, track communications, pull segmented mailing lists, and store many other useful attributes about each individual constituent.

Raisers Edge is being used by the development department to track donations and our constituents relationship to us as an organization. Our database is not large but the relationships are long and often complicated. A database like this allows us to see the constituent and all of the interactions we have had with them over the years. The Raisers Edge in combination with some of the add-ons like Online Express have been helpful for seamless tracking of newsletter readership and conversions from our website and online publications.

We use Raiser's Edge (RE) to better enable us to build a relationship with our donors at all levels, but especially the relationship with our major donors. Raiser's Edge enables us to track the donor throughout their donor lifecycle, to monitor progress through the Moves Management process. The advent of Raiser's Edge NXT has even provided our major gift officers with proactive suggestions of donors who may need more attention or who may be in danger of lapsing. We also use Raiser's Edge's Events Module to manage a wide range of events from small house parties of less than 50 guests to large dinner/luncheon events of 250+ attendees. Finally, our data in Raiser's Edge has been deemed so accurate that our RE database is used as a sub-ledger of our finance department's general ledger - which means that we are no longer have staff in two departments enter the same individual gift data into two different software systems.

We wanted a database that would combine all our constituents, gifts and events into one database where we could easily access the information and continue to grow in complexity as we expanded. Throughout our time using Raiser's Edge it has exceeded all our criteria and expectations...

Raiser's Edge is used by our fundraising team, a team of 15 - essentially Major Gifts and Foundations relationship managers. We use the Events, Memberships and Prospect modules. We record all information pertaining to our prospects and donors, and most importantly the interaction we have with our prospects and donors.

We have used Raisers Edge for over 15 years for donor gift management, events, membership and so much more. Words cannot begin to describe how it has helped our organization in seamless management of our financials, records, reports and data analysis.

The Raiser's Edge is used by the organization for tracking the lifespan of our constituents. Both current and prospective donors are tracked in the software so that they may be stewarded from first contribution through a planned gift. The software is utilized by several departments to ensure information about current activities with constituents is shared across the organization.

We are currently using Raiser's Edge in our development department to manage our donors and volunteers.

All employees across the entire organization use The Raisers Edge as a tool to manage our interactions with our donors. It helps us track and manage every touch point we have with our donors, from receiving donations to emails sent to donor stewardship. I'm not sure how we would function without it.

The Raisers Edge is used throughout our organization. It is one of a few databases that we use to manage our donor interactions. The ability to track the lifetime interactions of and with a donor, create a complete donor profile, and share information across the organization make the platform invaluable to myself and my colleagues.

We use Raiser's Edge in most of the administrative departments of our organization. It is the most valuable resource that our organization has. It houses all of the contact information and giving history for each person that interacts with our organization whether they are donors, event participants, employees, program participants or friends of the organization. It enables good communication about these individuals and how we can steward them well.

Raiser's Edge is being used in the University Advancement department and in the President's Office. It is used in our department to track contact with and proposals to donors and potential donors, while also enabling us to track all gifts to the university. Additionally, our events team uses it to track and manage events while our Alumni Relations group uses it to track Alumni membership status. It addresses the issue of tracking contact information and relationships our prospects have that could be important. The other area it addresses is accurate reporting of current information. By providing canned reports, custom reports, and query/export options for the data we are able to have a clear picture of where we are.

The Raisers Edge is used primarily for donations and receipting. It is also used for development for cultivation of donors and action tracking.

We primarily use Raiser's Edge in the development/advancement area for gift processing, event management and parent and alumni relations. RE is also accessible in varying degrees throughout the school. We are integrated with Financial Edge and Education Edge (currently migrating to On Products).

At my current organization, we use The Raiser's Edge (and RE:NXT) in two departments, possibly adding a third within the year. Development uses it for fundraising and Marketing for sending out emails (via Online Express). I have also worked with RE in 3 previous positions at 2 other organizations. One a major arts & cultural institution (RE used for development, membership, and volunteer management) and the other an affiliate office of a social service organization where we operated with one overall RE database for all 16 affiliates.

We use RE for all departments. It is very functional for events, donations, grants, membership and volunteers. We use it to manage our annual Gala donations, as well as prospects and moves management for our Development Office. It allows accurate data information to
be stored for all our departments, so when it comes time to report on Grants we have the information needed at our fingertips.

It solves the problem of who-what-when-where-why. RE is GREAT at allowing the database to be rigid enough for database quality/integrity but fluid and flexible enough to allow all our different department to use it as the CENTRAL (and only) location for all our information needed to not only do our daily jobs, but to leave a good legacy for those who come after us to continue our mission.

The Raiser's Edge is currently being used by the Advancement and Alumni office and the Student Awards team at my organization. The software acts as our alumni, donor and prospect database, and is the official subledger to our accounting system.

Our Resource Development team uses Raiser's Edge to track donor relationships, interactions with our constituents, as well as track and analyze our donations. We have both Raiser's Edge 7 and NXT and actively use both depending on job function. Our Annual Giving Officer and Grant Writers love NXT, while the rest of the team uses 7. As they roll out more roles, we hope to shift towards NXT.

Raiser's Edge is used by the development and administration departments at our non-profit human services organization. It is a robust database that tracks our constituents, events, appeals, grant proposals and more. It addresses the need to track and record all levels of contact and involvement that individuals and organizations have with our organization.

Raiser's Edge is the database that our hospital foundation uses to track donors, generate mailing lists, record and thank gifts, and record attributes about our donors, such as event participation. We are the only group that uses it at our hospital, and there are six of us in the office at this time. We like how everything is in one place, and we find it easy to extract data from it, which was not the case with our system prior to Raiser's Edge.

It is being used across the entire organization, it is our primary CRM. This is where we store our sponsors, donors, volunteers, prospects and other relationships and all their account information.
