What is Raiser’s Edge?

Raiser’s Edge (by Blackbaud) is a database many nonprofit organizations use to manage their constituents and communities. We have worked with a Blackbaud Partner company ( Zeidman Development ) to complete an API into Raiser’s Edge that eliminates the need for manual file exports and imports - saving time and increasing accuracy.

Accurate donor IDs will be passed back into GiveCentral, and advanced data transformations can be made in the batch prior to commitment, ensuring completely accurate information is being applied to the donor records.
