What's New In Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT ® - July 12

This week, Raiser's Edge NXT announces exciting enhancements to donation forms.Enable donors to give gifts in tribute on donation forms

If your organization uses the Honor/Memorial Tracking module to track details about gifts given in honor, memory, or celebration of people or causes, you can now collect tribute information on Raiser's Edge NXT donation forms. For example, donors may donate to your organization — in lieu of buying flowers — to memorialize a recently departed friend.

From Tools, Donation form designer, create or edit a form. Under Form, in the Form designer, select Gift information and move Tribute to a location on the form. For details about the options to select, see Donation Form Tribute.

Gifts from donation forms are placed into unapproved batches in Fundraising, Gift Management in web view. When you approve a batch, you can view tribute information from the new Tribute tab on the gift batch record.

Note: You can also view tribute information on a gift’s record in web view under Tributes.

To manage tributes, such as to associate a gift with a different honoree or notify recipients about gifts, return to the database view and follow your existing processes.

Note: To help you manage tribute records, donation forms check whether donors, the people they are honoring, and recipients have existing records. For details about how forms match or create records, see Automatic Tribute Matching.

Updated country field includes all countries donation forms (now available for those in the US)


To improve international address support, now all countries are available in donation forms. If a donor's selected country isn't in the database view, it's added so the form can collect their address. For more information, see Set Up Address Formats.

Enhanced address field supports standardized addresses in donation forms (now available for those in the US)

To improve data integrity and the donor experience, a donor can now choose from a list of standardized addresses when they begin entering their address on a donation form.
