    Nonprofit and fundraising software with donor email-campaign tools

    • Overview
    • Company

    About

    Blackbaud develops software for fundraising, donor engagement, education and nonprofit administration. Its range includes Raiser’s Edge NXT for fundraising records and Luminate Online for larger fundraising-marketing programmes, alongside finance, grant and school-management products.

    Read more

    Luminate Online provides personalised email campaigns, reactivation messages, list management, a campaign editor and A/B testing. Email activity connects with fundraising data and online donation forms, allowing organisations to coordinate donor acquisition, ongoing giving and retention rather than operate email separately from fundraising.

    The product supports larger donation campaigns and constituent communications. Blackbaud publishes product help, training, technical support and a marketplace of partner applications. Luminate pricing is obtained through its sales process, so the scope of fundraising, payment and communication requirements needs to be established when selecting the system.

    A published Luminate Online customer example is Save the Manatee Club, whose testimonial describes using response data to understand supporters.
