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

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

Grid view batch for improved data entry

For some of you

The new grid batch offers an improved workflow for adding multiple gifts to a batch, while maintaining all the functionality of the previous batch UI. From Gifts, Overview, select Add, New grid batch, or on an existing unapproved batch's record, select Edit, Edit in grid view. Now you can see and review all batch gifts in a single grid, tab through fields for faster entry, and configure the columns to add, remove, or rearrange fields on the batch. The status column is locked to allow you to easily identify and review errors that occurred when saving gifts. For more information, see Add gifts in grid batch.

Updated batch fields include the constituent field, which now has an advanced search that provides additional constituent details to ensure that you're selecting the correct constituent. After you enter a constituent, select the constituent icon that to open and edit the constituent record from the flyout without having to leave the grid batch.

Under Related Links, you can access the new template functionality, which allows you to set the columns and default values for the fields on your batches. You can reuse the templates for each batch you create, allowing for a quicker workflow. For more information, see Gift Batch template.

Note: The approval process for batches is not changing. Any existing unapproved batches in your system are unaffected by the update.
