“Our end-of-year giving has grown exponentially year after year since we began working with Blackbaud. It’s my personal belief that we have Luminate Online to thank for much of that growth.”

“Blackbaud is so far advanced in terms of how we’re able to quickly access numbers, reporting, donors, and donor patterns. It’s been really nice to see how those donors overlap with past capital campaigns and our annual fund as well—and being able to see that story on one screen.”

“Those affiliates that don’t have a development team are fascinated by (Blackbaud Loyalty Insights), and those that do have a development team are fired up by it.”

“Everybody can do a little bit more—including the IT guy. To be honest, I see this as staff retention and satisfaction. If you’re on an old system, you’re going to struggle. This provides a better work environment.”

“With Blackbaud, smaller nonprofits were able to have the same level of technology as other organizations with fancy websites. It gave us the opportunity to reach some rural organizations through technology. Some received their first online gifts ever.”

“The donors want to be a part of something bigger, and this is the perfect piece of this puzzle.”

“I’m a finance person, not a web person, and I was able to jump right into it. And that’s how I sold it to my team.”

“Blackbaud helps us convert ticket buyers to members and donors.”

“We feel very confident in what we are doing, but we need to be progressive, and Blackbaud has helped identify how we can be better at what we do.”

“By leveraging Blackbaud CRM and Blackbaud Internet Solutions, we were able to show the dollars being raised and how everyone’s total was growing in real time. It added to the experience and the value of what we were able to offer.”

“With Blackbaud Award Management, we are even able to manage departmental scholarships as well as those that are given out at completely different times throughout the year.”

“Financial Edge® is a tool for those people who have very unique reporting requirements and not just one income statement. We’re actually getting a better opportunity to get more funding, because we’re able to give clear-cut data.”

“We’ve been able to create a robust picture of what our donor looks like, because we have so many touchpoints that we can use for them. When it comes to Blackbaud products, we’re using them from start to finish, from our acquisition all the way through to the renewal cycle.”

“Each morning, our staff members can see, ‘Here’s what I have to do, and here’s who I need to call,’ and their days are laid out for them so easily. We are able to divide and conquer, focusing on the important fundraising aspects that help us reach our goals.”

“Harnessing the power of Blackbaud’s marketing solution and what it knows ensures that we communicate properly to raise awareness and help our mission.”
