Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT®: Enhanced Tribute Capabilities in Web View (Global)

As part of our ongoing effort to fully transition workflows to web view, we have released enhanced constituent and gift tribute capabilities in web view. To learn more about this upgraded functionality in web view, be sure to join us for the Raiser’s Edge NXT Product Update Briefing the week of November 11, 2024.

Tributes are an essential part of giving diversity, offering a meaningful way to honor a special person, date, or occasion. Whether celebrating milestones or commemorating important relationships, tributes create a profound connection between donors and the causes that they care about, adding an extra layer of significance to their generosity.

Tell me more!

The ability to add, edit and view tribute information is now operational in web view. Under each constituent record, there is a new Tribute tile where you can manage tributes associated with the donor.







When you click on + Add tribute, you can fill out the detailed information needed to save the tribute to the record. You will be prompted to choose the type of tribute, add a description, set the applicable fund, and specify the acknowledgee. Please note that in web view, you are not required to check a box to define the honor/memorial acknowledgee.







Currently, you can review how many gifts apply to a tribute, per constituent, in web view through the honor/memorial report. We plan to introduce gift list functionality for easier access on the constituent record. Once saved, the tribute will appear on the constituent record under the Tribute tile with all relevant information.







It will also be displayed under Giving History on the constituent record. Here, you can mark the tribute as acknowledged, along with the date. Note that the tribute type will automatically default to the type assigned when the gift was entered.







Once saved, the tribute will remain on the constituent record with no further action required.







Tributes play a crucial role in end-of-year giving, particularly during impactful campaigns like GivingTuesday. Incorporating tributes into year-end campaigns and GivingTuesday appeals can enable stronger relationships with existing donors while also building connections with new supporters.

We look forward to supporting your continued progress in creating impact for your mission. Be sure to join us during the week of November 11, 2024, for the Raiser’s Edge NXT Product Update Briefing to learn more about our strategic vision for web view gift management workflows.
