647 Blackbaud Testimonials

“With eTapestry and Blackbaud Merchant Services, we’re able to simplify online giving for our donors in an efficient and cost-effective way. We no longer have to enter data twice or try to reconcile deposits made by individual donors. We now have more time to devote to fundraising and to enriching the lives of the children in our program.”

“We learned that having more addresses is not necessarily better, and we were able to turn around our results thanks to Blackbaud.”

“Overall, we needed a foundation—a set of systems— to eliminate any hurdles for our fundraising and engagement efforts. We wanted state-of-the-art, proven technology, which we found in Luminate Online and Blackbaud CRM.”

“Along the way we have had such great support from the Blackbaud side. I have a client success manager who has been my champion and made a process that could be pretty sticky really smooth. I’m really grateful for the support.”

“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.”
