Frequently asked questions about hiring a Raiser's Edge consultant
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.
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.

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.
