“We wanted a sophisticated advancement CRM system that was strong outof-the-box and that we could customize as our needs evolved.”

"Getting timely information out of our old system in a useful format was impossible. Using Financial Edge has really enhanced our ability to be more forward-looking and to focus our energies on strategically managing the business. Financial Edge is incredibly intuitive, and Blackbaud’s training and support are fantastic. The instructors are very knowledgeable and accessible, and they are great about responding to specific questions.”

"We can better serve our constituents and families now with Blackbaud solutions.”

"In the time I have been at OSU, by focusing on acquisition, we have been able to increase the rate by 12 to 16 percent even with the recession, The annual web seminars that roll up the combined higher education benchmarking groups are great. They are very data heavy and I love that. I make sure that those who are working with me attend. It’s very inspirational for them to understand how the work we do is based in data and that we can influence the results."

"We are looking forward to the seamless integration between MobilePay and the Event app because it will consolidate the transactions and make it easier for the end user. The time saved will allow us to spend more time interacting with our supporters. The more we can do the day of the event, the less we have to do when we come back into the office."

"Adding TeamRaiser has opened fundraising doors for us and has been immensely helpful. Investing in the trainings and having the structure and support was critical in mastering the tools."

"We are reaching out to a young, but very philanthropic demographic: young professionals in the energy business. We want to get these young donors engaged, so our strategies must include reaching them online."

"We liked Blackbaud as a company and had a good relationship with them, The customer support with Blackbaud for both The Raiser’s Edge and [Blackbaud] NetCommunity is fantastic. We know when we call there is good likelihood that someone will answer the phone. We always know that our problem or issue is being addressed and it is always addressed in a timely manner. People sometimes forget the importance of good customer support. Having experienced poor support, we know how important it is and feel that Blackbaud has continually gone above and beyond."

"Because Blackbaud Performance Management is based on Microsoft SQL Server, we didn’t have to buy additional solutions to get the information we want and need."

"Most visitors come to our website first, so it’s imperative that it reflects our brand and mission. With a new website designed by the Blackbaud Interactive Services Team and donation pages powered by Raiser’s Edge NXT, we’re able to present the depth and scope of our organization in a clear and concise way.”

“The combination of The Raiser’s Edge, NetCommunity Grow, and Friends Asking Friends is perfect for our organization and will help us move our fundraising forward. Between the data we get on our constituents from NetCommunity Grow and Friends Asking Friends, I am able to get a better understanding of what interests our donors. This is vital to our success.”
