What's New In Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® — June 30, 2026

Colleen Gutierrez

Here are the latest changes in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT for June 30, 2026.

Manage constituent lists with full accountability

Rolling out in waves to all geographies

With managed lists, you can create a constituent list where you control exactly who is included, and every addition or removal is tracked in a detailed changelog — giving your team full accountability over list membership.

When you create a managed list, choose a starting source — individual constituents, an existing list, or a query. If you start from a query list that already has a change log in database view, that history is automatically migrated into your new managed list so you retain a continuous audit trail.

Note: If you use query lists with a change log in the database view, managed lists bring that same capability into the web view.

To view who changed the list, when, and what they did, select Add/Exclude, View changelog.

Build your own donor insights with custom intelligent tags

US and Canada premium feature

You can now create custom intelligent tags in Raiser's Edge NXT — defining your own donor insights based on constituent queries or lists and surfacing them automatically across your fundraising workflows.

With custom tags, you connect a tag to any constituent query or list in your environment. Each night, Raiser's Edge NXT evaluates the data source and assigns the tag to matching constituents. Tags then appear on constituent records, in lists, in Work Center, and across Blackbaud AI experiences — giving your team the right context, automatically.

Your organization can create up to 25 active custom tags to reflect priorities like major donor prospects, high-engagement constituents, or any other segment that shapes your outreach strategy. Admins create and manage custom tags in Settings, Intelligent tags, on the Custom tags tab.
