What's New In Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® — March 3, 2026

Colleen Gutierrez

Here are the latest changes in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT for March 3, 2026.

Latest updates to the grid batch

Generally available

As promised, we’ve made the following updates to the grid batch:

• You can now create a constituent directly from the grid with the new Add Constituent button.
• For more accurate gift review, split gifts display the selected campaign, fund, and appeal names instead of Split in the Campaign, Funds, and Appeals columns.
• For faster data entry, the Campaign, Funds, and Appeals columns now begin searching for results after you enter two characters instead of three.

Enhanced visibility and expanded field options in web view Query

Generally available

To make it easy to see which fields aren’t available in database view, web view queries now display a cloud icon for fields that are exclusive to web view. This visibility helps you confidently build queries that use web view–only data and benefit from additional insights you couldn’t access before.

We've added new fields from database view Export to web view Query:

• Constituent, Sort name with import ID
• Gift, Fund list
• Preferred Address, Preferred Address
• Address processing, Address

These address fields include all address lines in the same cell.

To support consistent terminology in Query, we’ve renamed the Sort key fields where needed:

• Sort name lists Last name, First name Middle name
• Sort name with import ID lists Last name, First name, Middle name, Import ID

General ledger distributions available in web view

Generally available

You can now configure general ledger distributions directly on Funds records in web view for both Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT integrated and non-integrated environments.

Apply manual payments to a pledge

Generally available

You can now apply manual payments to automated pledges. This enhancement lets your organization accept manual payments for open installments and update pledge schedules with more control.

Update credit card information on automated pledges in web view 

For some of you

To more easily manage payment information, now you can update credit card details for automated pledges.

Optimize giving with Prospect Insights Pro 

For some of you

Maximize fundraising outcomes with Prospect Insights Pro's optimized opportunities. Now, when you add or edit an opportunity for a prospect in a Prospect Insights Pro queue, Prospect Insights Pro suggests gift ask amounts based on a prospect's likely gift capacity.

This capability represents the initial release of the Cultivation Assistant — an intelligent assistant that helps fundraisers create opportunities more efficiently and move seamlessly into cultivation.

For those with Blackbaud AI - Chat enabled, you can create an action plan to support opportunities you create or edit via Prospect Insights Pro.

For more information, see Prospect Insights Pro Opportunities.

Prospect Insights Pro scores refresh 

For some of you

Prospect Insights Pro's data models and projected giving and wealth information scores now use the latest available data and adaptive modeling. The refresh affects all queues, so make sure to review your best major gift prospects. Because the queues are sorted by priority, you may notice different prospects at the top of a list.

When will gift constituency be added to web view gift & batch entry? I can't use web view until that change since we rely on constituent codes for reporting. 😢
