What's New In Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® — September 23, 2025

Here are the latest changes in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT for September 23, 2025.

Match gifts faster with Payment Transaction ID in web view

To help you reconcile gift transactions between Raiser's Edge NXT and Blackbaud Payment Services in web view, you can now select the Payment Transaction ID field in Gift query.

For more information, see Query.

Usability upgrades to Query field tree

For ease of use and consistency, the query fields tree has these simple updates:

  • Field names will change to singular or plural, depending on if they show one item or many. For example, "Packages", will become "Package."
  • New sub-nodes will make it clear when a field applies to all records of a certain type, not just specific ones. For example, "All custom fields" will be added beneath the "Custom fields" node.

For general information about Query, see Query.

Sort gifts by committed or received revenue

To help you filter revenue by committed or received revenue and align your gift list view with settings used in other Raiser's Edge NXT reporting tools, we've added new filters and columns for both Committed and Received revenue.

To learn how to work with Gift List filters or columns, see Gifts.

Quick access to recent appeals and campaigns

To help you move faster and stay focused, the Communications Overview page now includes a Recently accessed section. This enhancement displays the last five appeals and campaigns you interacted with, so you can jump back into your work without navigating through multiple pages. Whether you're reviewing performance or making updates, your recent items are just a click away.

To learn how to work with the Communications Overview page, see Communications Overview.

Prospect Insights scores refresh (for those in Canada)

Prospect Insights' Major giving likelihoodTarget gift range, and projected giving and wealth information scores now use the latest available data. 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.

On-demand backups

Organizations in the public cloud (hosted by Blackbaud Cloud Operations) can request a database backup once per month. To request a backup, access the Database view options page.

The On-demand backups tile displays the history of your backups and status. Select +New to file the request. You'll receive an email notification when it's ready! For more information, see On-demand Backups and Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT® Self-Serve Backup Portal Is Here!

    Thanks for the updates!

  • Hi @Colleen Gutierrez,

    I have a question about the note on Usability upgrades to Query field tree and bullet point one about the singular and plural on field names. Does this only apply to building the query? Or will the query output field name also change between singular and plural?

    @Amy Pierzchala , good question! The changes in the query field tree only affect nodes, not the actual fields. So you may notice when selecting your fields, but no changes will happen for any output fields.
