Best Of

I can't recommend bbcon highly enough! My career would not be where it is today without it. The connections I've made with other users, consultants, vendors, and BB product developers has made such a difference to me. Some of my best friends and colleagues are connections from bbcon. I talk literally every day to at least one of my connections from bbcon. We talk about everything: product questions and functionality, navigating our careers, troubleshooting data issues, work/life balance, professional and personal accomplishments. I couldn't do my job without having access to their support!

If you are looking to learn tangible skills within specific products like RE-NXT, the university day is totally worth it!

Blackbaud has ribbons/flags to attach to one's badges. They should have one that indicates one is looking to have someone else initiate the conversation!

From an applications perspective, I am aiming to align our systems with those commonly used by other non-profit organizations across Canada. In reviewing standard practices, I’ve observed that many peer organizations have optimized their giving forms to include key features that are currently missing in Blackbaud RENXT (optimized forms). These include:

1. The ability to set a bare minimum donation amount
2. An option to donate on behalf of an organization – very important to have this feature!
3. An option to donate anonymously

These features are typically available in standard giving forms and, ideally, should also be accessible within optimized forms. This would allow internal users to enable them as needed in accordance with our organizational policies.
