Raiser's Edge extension success stories

The Hamlin School

The Hamlin School, the oldest non-sectarian school for girls in the western U.S., was struggling with a labor-intensive gift-entry process in Raiser’s Edge. Team Heller led a comprehensive optimization project, reconfiguring Raiser’s Edge to reduce manual data entry and redefining campaign codes for better reconciliation between departments.

Kennedy Krieger Institute

Kennedy Krieger Institute needed to modernize its data strategy without replacing its core system. The org partnered with Team Heller to extend Raiser’s Edge using Microsoft Power BI. By leveraging these tools, the Institute created a self-service interface for gift officers, significantly improving donor engagement practices and data accessibility. This hybrid approach allowed the org to maximize the value of its existing Blackbaud investment while building a scalable, unified view of donor interactions that can grow with its future needs.
