Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT®: Get Ready To Party With Group Registration (US)

As gala season quickly approaches, we’re excited to announce that multi-person registration is now available to Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT® customers in the United States. With these changes, your organization can collect multiple names for tickets so guests can register together for galas, golf tournaments, or other events.

How does it work?

Setup is simple. From an event record in web view, start from the Fees tile. Add registration fees and indicate how many people each fee includes. For example, a gala table might include six registrants. You can also create fees for add-ons like raffle tickets or parking passes.



If you need to collect custom information, such as each registrant’s meal preference, create participant options from the Participant options tile.



Next, add the fees and the participant options to the form.



Note that as you configure your registration form, you can now associate participation levels with registration fees to automatically apply the levels to people when they register. Previously, you could only apply participation levels through back office registrations.

What do registrants see?

When registrants use the form, they can quickly enter details about each person in their group. If a registrant signs the same person up for more than one fee, they can select from a list of registrants they already entered so they can skip adding contact information again!

Here’s an overview of the experience when a person registers multiple people for a gala:



What’s next?

We want to keep you informed about our future plans. Here's a heads-up on a few upcoming event enhancements:

• Convert event guests into hosts of their own parties.
• Easily filter participant lists by fees.
• Exported participant lists will provide a breakdown of quantities and amounts for each fee.

Events serve as a powerful platform to showcase your missions and extend your community outreach, and we’d love to hear from you. Join us for a Raiser’s Edge NXT town hall with Product Managers, Chris Ager and Kimberly Hammer, on September 6-7, 2024. During this session, we plan to solicit and listen to your feedback to better understand capabilities your organization values and prioritizes within RENXT event management. Click here to register.

* While currently available in the US, we are working to make RENXT event registration forms global in 2024.
