Digging Into Your Blackbaud Grantmaking Data
Published
When I was a kid, I wanted to be an archaeologist. For whatever reason, the idea of unearthing mysteries of previous civilizations seemed like it was something I would enjoy. I would venture into the woods behind my house and just randomly dig and look for treasure (I never found any, but I did find a lot of coal, thank you Western Pennsylvania woodlands). I won’t lie, I also thought that if I were an archaeologist I would be running from boulders, solving ancient and deadly puzzles, and doing battle against unleashed evil ... because that is obviously baked into the position.
I think it’s safe to say that I just watched too many Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser movies.
Sadly, I grew out of the desire to become an archaeologist, because I learned that I wouldn’t be fighting evil (shucks). And I decided that helping social good organizations learn was more my speed. I still have the heart of an adventurer, so if anyone ever needs a wisecracking sidekick for an archaeological dig, let me know.
Unearthing your records and putting them on display is a major benefit of Blackbaud Grantmaking—but it helps to build the knowledge needed to navigate through those labyrinths of data. Thankfully, we’ve created two new 90-minute classes that take you through the new SKY View searching and report-building tools in Blackbaud Grantmaking.
Come uncover all the ways you can search for records and harness the power of the Workspace in the Blackbaud Grantmaking: Search and Workspace course.
Discover how to build and export standard and ad-hoc reports suitable for display at your organization, with the Blackbaud Grantmaking: Reports course.
Now, grab your trowel, brushes, and the rest of your archaeologist’s tool kit, and we’ll see you in class!
