Frequently asked questions about hiring a Raiser's Edge consultant

What does a Raiser's Edge consultant do?

A Raiser's Edge consultant configures, administers, and cleans up your RE NXT database so it becomes a reliable source of truth for fundraising. That includes constituent merges and deduplication, custom queries and exports, import templates, report writing, code table hygiene, user training, and building the SOPs your team needs to run RE consistently after we leave.

How much does a Raiser's Edge consultant cost?

Most engagements start with a fixed-fee audit (typically two to four weeks) or a scoped project — a query cleanup, import build, or reporting overhaul. Ongoing administration is a monthly retainer sized to your database volume and team capacity. We quote a fixed price after a short discovery call so there are no billable-hour surprises.

Do you work with RE NXT, Raiser's Edge 7, or both?

Both, but the majority of our client base is on RE NXT. If you're still on RE 7 we can also plan and execute the upgrade — including database prep, code table alignment, and post-upgrade validation.

Can you train our team instead of doing the work for us?

Yes. Every engagement includes documentation and knowledge transfer, and many clients hire us specifically for RE NXT training — either 1:1 for gift processors and researchers or team workshops on queries, exports, and dashboards.

Do you handle Raiser's Edge data migrations?

Yes. We migrate from eTapestry, DonorPerfect, Salesforce NPSP, Bloomerang, Excel, and legacy Access databases into RE NXT — with field mapping, code table alignment, dedup strategy, test loads, side-by-side reconciliation, and cut-over planning.
