“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.”
“I can’t say enough good things about her. Her knowledge of nonprofits and how to message segments of supporters effectively was impressive. And she’s just as knowledgeable about the minutiae of TeamRaiser—down to changing the fonts.”
"Financial Edge has all the modules we need in order to do the accounting and fi nancial reporting required by our organization. One of the greatest bene fi ts about Blackbaud is the company’s mantra of ‘Your Passion. Our Purpose.’ Every day they work with this intent in mind and are successful. They really do help us achieve our mission.”
“To know Meals on Wheels is to love Meals on Wheels. People who know our story connect with us and enjoy giving because they know the impact their donation makes, which is why we have to get better at knowing our donors.”
"We needed a solution that would consolidate and streamline the management of our fi nances. We knew Financial Edge would help us do it, but we just didn’t have that cash lying around and weren’t entirely comfortable given our current understanding of our fi nances. The subscription pricing gives a solution that will address our needs in a way that we can afford.”
"With Financial Edge I have been able to streamline our processes and get quality reports quickly. We have been able to save approximately $5,000 in auditing costs. Plus, the database has never hiccupped or given me any real technical difficulty. That alone is a cost savings and time savings."
"The migration of our donor information and giving history data was quite easy, and nothing was lost. It was a one-time data migration process from Raiser’s Edge to Altru, and it was 100% correct the very first time.”
"It comes down to communication. We now have a welcome series going, which is a new strategy for us. It’s a great idea, and I love it. People really gravitate toward having that discourse. I was amazed at how many people actually replied."
“Having access to your phone is how the world is progressing. This is the mode of how information is passed on; we knew we needed to enter into that mode because otherwise we would have been left behind.”
"Take the time to plan ahead, invest in training, and properly prepare your data to ensure a smooth transition and take full advantage of all the great features.”
"We looked at a lot of platforms. You can’t use many of them like you can use everydayhero, which allows you to integrate the community with the fundraising. It was the easiest to understand, easiest to use, and it connects our donors to our community!"
“Blackbaud has enhanced our fundraising efforts, simplifying our accounting and donor outreach activities and minimizing the time we spend on administrative tasks. And with Blackbaud Merchant Services, we’re paying less in fees so most of the money raised is going directly to care for our animals.”
"The ability to personalize the admission experience for prospective families fit right into our brand strength; welcoming, family, supportive, caring. With onBoard, we were able to personalize every electronic communication we sent out.”
