“Blackbaud helps us convert ticket buyers to members and donors.”
“By eliminating the need for a third-party vendor for gift imports, we save about $250,000 annually. This strategic move not only saved money but also streamlined operations, ensuring that every dollar donated could have the maximum impact on our communities.”
“Developing an innovative process to track the gifts that can feed into a report that then later helps me determine what was a true, natural organic gift versus what our major gift officers brought in was life-changing.”
“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."
“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.”
