“We saw a huge increase in the number of students using the software because it’s so easy to use compared to what we had been using.”

“The site enables new updates to be published in three different ways within three different parts of the site, all while updating only one form.”

“We needed something that would help us to have more alignment, a cohesive approach, and the YourCause platform was going to be that tool. We saw that quickly.”

“We chose AcademicWorks because of its functionality and value. I particularly liked the easy application process for students, the review process, profiles to highlight donors, and the ability to export information to our foundation management software.”

“The products that Blackbaud offers and provides to us allow us to identify and track those patients in a way that we can really segment them and do the best job in tracking them so that the major gift officers have a better success rate with our patients."

“The best part of Blackbaud Award Management for us has been the improvements to our reviewing process. I can see the status of all my reviewers and can easily reassign any incomplete review. Blackbaud Award Management has sped up our review process and helps me to make awards faster.”

“A typical day for us is going to be right around one million [impressions]—so, if you can think of adding 139 times what our normal impressions would be in a day, that’s the power of #GivingTuesday for us.”

“Our fundraising has increased exponentially. We were able to grow from about $12 million to $20 million consistently, with the same staff and a reduction of resources.”

“Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT has really helped us accomplish our goals this past year, but you need the right person managing it and the right training.”

“Because of Blackbaud, we can now effectively target and segment groups of people and no longer have to manage groups using gigantic lists— which is very helpful when you consider the potential obstacles you can encounter using static lists to manage email communication.”

“Now is a good time to build sustainers, because people are used to subscription-based services with things like Netflix. People are used to having payments automatically deducted on a monthly basis. We’re taking advantage of that.”

“Credit Card Updater actually got me on my gift this month. I didn’t need to update my payment data and instead waited for it to be done automatically.”
