Don't Let Bad Data Derail Your 2027 Strategy

Your nonprofit runs on data. No matter what you have planned for the next year—a capital campaign, implementing AI, casting your CRM into the sea—you want to organize your data. We can help.

TRUSTED BY FUNDRAISING OPS LEADERS AT

Data Cleanup, Segmentation, and Management Services Built for Raiser's Edge

Your database has history. If you’re like most nonprofit organizations, you have years or decades worth of it. It’s hard to make heads of tails of it for reporting, and your team is forced into gymnast-level workarounds in Excel or AI just to find the insights they’re after.

With 30 years of experience managing fundraising data, Heller Consulting understands how Raiser’s Edge works, its data models and app ecosystem, as well as how nonprofit teams do their work.

Our Blackbaud experts help development teams with:

  • Deduplication planning, and building workflows to stop them from forming. No more merge/purge whack-a-mole!
  • Data cleanup and optimizing your constituent codes.
  • Develop an inventory of actions and attributes that matter to your mission.
  • Householding, relationship, and family connection mapping.
  • Organization and individual record verification and appends.
  • Misplaced data recovery and management. Yes, we can find those random notes your former Major Gift Officer recorded in the weirdest dark corner of your CRM, and then move them front and center, where your current team can find them.
Raiser's Edge NXT was working really well for things like gift entry and reconciliation, and there was a lot of faith in the quality of our data—but our gift officers weren't really interacting with the system, and reporting tools had real limitations.

Case Study: A common data model and unification for 20 million contacts

Canadian Cancer Society

When the Canadian Cancer Society transitioned to a national structure, Heller partnered with the organization to consolidate data from 10 provinces and 20 million records into a unified system. Team Heller delivered a bilingual, end-to-end solution, spanning CRM implementation, business process redesign, data cleansing, and change management. Now, CCS has a powerful platform that enables nationwide collaboration, centralized metrics, and scalable operations for the future.

What sets Heller Consulting apart

We know Raiser's Edge, inside and out

We began in 1996, helping migrate DOS Raiser’s Edge nonprofits to the Cloud. Since then we have seen thousands of different setups and workflows. No matter what you have going on, we can help you get it straightened out.

We build for what you need next

We don’t treat data hygiene and governance as a one-time task. When we work with nonprofit leaders, we ask what they want to do with their data and request their long-term plans. Then we build a data strategy that is future-forward and gives them the confidence and agility to meet more ambitious goals.

Three decades of nonprofit experience

Our track record speaks for itself. For 30 years, Heller has guided leading nonprofits, education institutions, and healthcare organizations through complex data management and migration, delivering practical, responsible paths to long‑term impact.
