Raiser’s Edge NXT® Consulting
Raiser’s Edge NXT is one of the most widely used fundraising and constituent management platforms. Even though the platform is powerful, organizations often only use a fraction of its capabilities. Our Blackbaud consulting services help organizations move beyond basic database management and use Raiser's Edge more strategically.
Our consultants work with your team to understand how you're using Raiser’s Edge NXT today, identify opportunities for improvement, and implement practical solutions that support fundraising success, including:
Database Assessments
Combining the strategic assessment approach from both documents, NPact evaluates data quality, configuration, reporting, workflows, and organizational processes to identify what's working, what isn't, and where improvements can generate the greatest impact.
Data Management & Integrity
Improve data quality, consistency, and long-term maintainability. We help organizations address duplicate records, inconsistent coding, outdated information, database structure issues, and years of accumulated workarounds.
Reporting & Analytics
Get the information fundraisers, advancement leaders, and executives need without spending hours manipulating spreadsheets. We build and optimize reports, queries, exports, dashboards, and analytics processes that support better decision-making.
Workflow & Process Optimization
Your database should support your team, not create additional work. Our Blackbaud consultants evaluate gift processing, prospect management, moves management, reporting workflows, stewardship tracking, and development operations processes to increase efficiency and reduce manual effort.
Training & Staff Development
We provide customized training tailored to your organization’s workflows and staff responsibilities. Whether you're onboarding a new database administrator, training fundraisers, or upskilling an entire advancement team, our training focuses on practical application.
Projects & Ongoing Support
From a one-time engagement to a long-term partnership, NPact provides flexible Blackbaud consulting services designed around your goals and available resources.
Financial Edge NXT® Consulting
Financial Edge NXT is more than an accounting platform. When properly configured and integrated, it becomes a critical connection point between advancement and finance.
Our team brings experience working across both fundraising and financial systems, providing a unique perspective that many Blackbaud consultants cannot offer.
We can help with:
- Financial Edge NXT configuration and optimization
- General ledger and accounting workflows
- Financial reporting and analysis
- Gift and revenue processes
- Integration between Raiser's Edge NXT and Financial Edge NXT
- Fund and project tracking
- Data reconciliation
- Staff training
- Troubleshooting and support
- Implementation projects

From gift processing and reconciliation to reporting, fund accounting, data management, and integrations, we help organizations identify process improvements that enhance efficiency across the organization.
Blackbaud Training
NPact provides remote and onsite training designed specifically around your team’s goals, workflows, and experience levels. If you need to train one employee or an entire department, our Blackbaud consulting team can create a practical learning plan that generates immediate value.

- Advancement operations teams
- Fundraisers
