"Getting timely information out of our old system in a useful format was impossible. Using Financial Edge has really enhanced our ability to be more forward-looking and to focus our energies on strategically managing the business. Financial Edge is incredibly intuitive, and Blackbaud’s training and support are fantastic. The instructors are very knowledgeable and accessible, and they are great about responding to specific questions.”

“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.”

“We found Financial Edge® to be the perfect marriage for our accounting software. Financial Edge allows me to track all of our activities. It gives me a great tool to be able to drill down and figure out what’s going on and how we’re doing.”

"You’re only as good as your database. It makes sense that any organization that plans to embark on a formal development operation needs the backup of a database that is sophisticated enough to ensure that the development operation is going to be successful."

“The Committee Review feature has saved hours of work, but it really goes beyond that. Now committee members can review files on their own time, whether that be on a free period sitting under a live oak tree on campus or after school hours.”

“We had to come up with a way to increase visibility and also to expand capacity. You need a donor database to do that.”

“When you have a large employee base of people who want to be active and give back, you need a way of organizing all of them. Blackbaud’s YourCause technology platform makes it really easy for our employees to register for an event, find a location nearby, and even provide their size for a fun shirt to wear while they’re volunteering.”

"Our technology solution is now on par with the best-practice education we provide our students. That is truly exciting for all of us invested in the future fulfillment of Williamson’s mission and vision."

“We need a system that enables us to grow our revenue stream to ultimately help kids.”

“Having an online grant application process has been a real help to our agencies. For receiving and processing applications, it has really streamlined the effort.”

“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.”

“By using Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising, we are engaging existing donors and bringing in new supporters. This type of networking and fundraising is incredibly powerful and supports relationship-building.”

“When we decided to launch the initiative, time was of the essence. Shortage of ventilators was already being felt in some countries hit by the virus. Therefore, we had to organize our donors’ solicitation rapidly. The fundraising solutions provided by Blackbaud allowed us to be ready and efficient to solicit online very quickly.”

“Our mission at the Montreal General Hospital Foundation is to support innovation and excellence in healthcare, both of which are key characteristics of this challenge. We saw an incredible potential public benefit and were honored to support the Research Institute of the MUHC in this global endeavor. We were only able to do this thanks to the generosity, trust, and partnership of our donor community.”
