What's New In Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® — April 14, 2026

Here are the latest changes in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT for April 14, 2026.

Chat for Blackbaud AI Prompt Library Now Available

The Chat for Blackbaud AI Prompt Library is now available — giving you a faster, more confident path to better results in Chat.

Instead of starting from a blank window and guessing how to phrase a question, you can begin with curated, ready-to-use prompts built around real fundraising, stewardship, and operations workflows. Use them as-is or adapt them to fit your situation.

Prompts are organized by category, including analytics and reporting, constituents and relationships, donor engagement, event management, gifts and pledges, opportunity and moves management, prospecting, stewardship and retention, strategy and best practices, and general assistance.

The way you phrase a question directly affects the quality of the answer you get back. The Prompt Library removes the guesswork, so you can spend less time figuring out what to ask and more time acting on what Chat surfaces.

We'll continue to add new prompts as we expand the library and as Chat for Blackbaud AI grows. Look for the New badge to quickly spot the latest additions to the library.

Manage fund relationships in web view

Now you can manage fund relationships directly from constituent records and fund records using dedicated fund relationship tiles. This update lets you view, add, and edit fund relationships from either side of the relationship.

Manage appeal expenses in web view

You can now add, view, edit, and delete expenses directly from an appeal record. The centralized view of expenses and their associated packages helps you manage appeal-related costs more efficiently.

Link and unlink events and campaigns in web view

You can now manage linked events directly from a campaign record, streamlining your event tracking and fundraising oversight.

Prospect Insights Pro scores refresh (for those of you in the US)

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.

Build email sign up forms to save time and drive engagement (for some of you)

Online constituent forms help you drive engagement and streamline data entry. To make it easy for constituents to update their profile, choose communication preferences, and collect additional information on your website, create a form from Online Giving, Constituent forms.

Better duplicate prevention with expanded Online data review for Events (for some of you)

A workflow change is coming for events users in web view. Online data review is expanding to include event registrations. If you have an active web view event registration form, review and update your Online data review settings to ensure these transactions are included.

Read the blog article that walks through how event registrations were handled before and how they are handled now.

This update is scheduled to begin rolling out March 31, 2026, for some customers.

Create legacy recognition programs for giving societies (for some of you)

Recognition goes beyond saying "thank you" - it allows you to steward lasting relationships with your most engaged supporters. From Constituents, Recognition, you can create legacy programs, the first of four distinct program types to be offered, for your legacy donors that have given your organization a planned gift or bequest. You can define rules based on your program's needs, automate qualification, and manage recognition lists.
