BetterUnite + Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge

BetterUnite pushes donations and contact records into Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge and Raiser’s Edge NXT. Each campaign maps to a Blackbaud fund, constituents are auto-created or bound to existing records with a multi-match preview, and the Blackbaud donation ID is written back to every transaction. Choose intended, gross, or net amounts, exclude what should not sync, and run on a schedule up to 4 times a day.

and Raiser’s Edge NXT.

01

What Syncs

Donations and contact records push to Blackbaud, with recurring gift and pledge tracking and guest participation data supported.

  • Map each BetterUnite campaign to a Blackbaud fund, and edit the mapping anytime
  • Track recurring gifts and pledges, with guest participation data included
  • Verify record creation with the Blackbaud donation ID written back to BetterUnite

02

Constituent Matching Without Cleanup

Auto-create constituents or bind to existing ones, and resolve ambiguous matches before anything syncs.

  • Resolve multiple matches from a search-ahead preview with a multi-match dropdown
  • Create new constituents automatically when no match exists
  • Store the Blackbaud ID on the contact so every future gift binds automatically

03

Control What Transfers

Amount options, per-transaction exclusions, and date filtering keep Raiser’s Edge clean.

  • Choose intended by default, or gross or net
  • Exclude with Do Not Sync per transaction and bulk $0 exclusion to skip free registrations
  • Filter by date, with a 3-month default, and reset sync for re-runs

04

Setup Steps

Four steps from connection to scheduled sync.

  • Connect Blackbaud
  • Map campaigns to funds and resolve constituent matches with the preview
  • Sync all or per transaction, on a schedule up to 4x per day

Frequently Asked
Questions

Does BetterUnite work with Raiser's Edge NXT?

Yes. The integration supports both Raiser’s Edge and RE NXT, pushing donations and contact records into the right Blackbaud funds.

How do gifts map to our funds?

Each BetterUnite campaign maps to a Blackbaud fund, and the mapping is editable anytime, so gala revenue, annual fund gifts, and P2P dollars each land where finance expects.

What if a donor matches multiple constituents?

A search-ahead preview with a multi-match dropdown lets you pick the right constituent before syncing. The Blackbaud ID is then stored so future gifts bind automatically.

Can we exclude free registrations from the sync?

Yes. Do Not Sync per transaction, bulk $0 exclusion, and date filters keep noise out of Raiser’s Edge.

How do we verify a gift actually synced?

The Blackbaud donation ID is written back onto the BetterUnite transaction, giving you a verifiable link to the created record.
