650 Blackbaud Testimonials

“We’ve spent a lot of time helping students do things like pay for groceries or pay the electric bill, It’s situations where the student had a part-time job helping get through the semester. The student lost that job and then maxed out a credit card paying for groceries. It’s the same on almost every campus in America.”

“For us, it was a no-brainer that Blackbaud Guided FundraisingTM was the right solution to support our future campaigns.”

“The value of Blackbaud Learn ® is significant. We chose Learn Everything so we would have unlimited access to all trainings and the ability to take the same class multiple times if necessary.”

“The numbers are pretty remarkable to think that we almost perfectly maintained the amount of responses while removing the people who would not have been responders anyway. That was pretty striking.”

"Participating in Go!™ TeamRaiser® gave us access to an empowered community of expert event planners. That community provided us with the tools to create an enhanced team captain stewardship plan. Using Go! TeamRaiser, we built a replicable email template, recipient segmentation process, and strategic messaging arc that we will use for years to come."

“Raiser’s Edge NXT helps me understand our donors and their history. I can read what appeals and surveys they respond to, when they give, how often they give, and how they give. I use that information to help manage my engagement chronologically and geographically.”

“Financial Edge NXT has an impact on Senior Resources Association’s overall mission because it allows us to produce consistent financial statements for grant applications year after year. During a grant site visit, one of the panel members asked me whether I found government regulations time consuming and costly. My reply was that we have the best financial software, which makes it possible to easily run reports for Senior Resources Association’s entire financial grant reporting and monitoring.”

“It was through Online Express that we were able to track where donations were coming from. This was hugely helpful.”

"The ASCE Foundation experienced a 39% increase in online contributions from 2012 to 2013 with Blackbaud Online Express™."

"We love being able to email customers’ receipts and handle the membership process immediately at the front desk. I think our customers appreciate that! Online sales and registrations are wonderful—our younger visitors and members love being able to take care of business while still in their jammies!"

"Fernwood converted from DonorPerfect to Altru about two years ago."

“Increasing our focus on monthly donors allows us to speak more reliably to retention rates, attrition, and calculate projected financials in a way that we feel good about. This allows us to expand our programs with confidence and plan for a better future.”

“Based on our 2014 active list, we only had 200 or so donors. This year, we easily acquired 1,000 donors in addition to our climb participants. Although the number of climbers did not increase a lot, the funds we raised did!”

"In the same way that the admission office is the proverbial “front door” to or first impression of the school, onBoard is the platform experience by which all others are measured.”

“I’ve actually had supporters call and say, ‘This site is so much better, thank you.’ Having somebody say that to me, I know we made the right decision."
