Raiser’s Edge (by Blackbaud) is a database many nonprofit organizations use to manage their constituents and communities. We have worked with a Blackbaud Partner company ( Zeidman Development ) to complete an API into Raiser’s Edge that eliminates the need for manual file exports and imports - saving time and increasing accuracy.
Accurate donor IDs will be passed back into GiveCentral, and advanced data transformations can be made in the batch prior to commitment, ensuring completely accurate information is being applied to the donor records.
If donors make a pledge through GiveCentral, the pledge is sent to Raiser’s Edge in a manner that will allow the subsequent payments to associate automatically
Integrated New Recurring Gifts
If your organization utilizes the recurring gift module, we will send new recurring gifts into Raiser’s Edge, allowing for subsequent payments to associate properly
Integrated Contributions
Move donations into Raiser’s Edge to donor records accurately and quickly through auto-batching
Integrated Payments
collect funds for mission trips, religious education or other non-donation events and move to donor records through auto-batching
Donor ID Matching
The API will share back proper donor IDs with GiveCentral, ensuring that future contributions will associate to the correct pledge/recurring gift and profile without error
Processing Fee Tracking
Offer donors the option to cover the processing fees, and that information can come over into Raiser’s Edge as a separate item - even with a separate appeal code - (without counting toward any pledge or gift totals)
Parish or Fund Credits
For organizations that track a parish or specific fund credit, GiveCentral will send that through with the gifts
Package/Appeal Code Tracking
For organizations that track the origination of gifts using Appeal or Package codes,
Wildcard Codes
GiveCentral also allows for many wildcard fields for tracking things like campaign, appeal, fund, etc. Your organization can help set the mapping into Raiser’s Edge that works specifically for your setup - no need to change your data structure to fit ours!

We're excited to introduce GC Guru to our platform. The Guru is an AI-based chat tool that will allow you to ask questions, and receive plain text responses (as well as links to our Knowledge Center as applicable).
Over the last four months we've had the Guru learn everything it can about GiveCentral - donor-facing and administrator-facing - in order to help you find answers to your questions faster, at any time of day. As more and more people provide feedback, the Guru will also be able to refine its responses.
Not only can the GC Guru help answer FAQs about GiveCentral, but it can also help your organization compose emails and communications to your community-base. It will tell you exactly where to drop in our GC SmartLinks and guide you through the send process.
Below are some ideas on how to get started interacting with the Guru!
1. How do I reconcile GiveCentral with my bank statement?2. What is a deposit report by MID?3. Can I reset a donor's password?4. Help me write an email to my donors for Easter5. Please help me create a new event
Our goal at GiveCentral is to provide industry-leading fundraising tools to our clients. As we continue to innovate, the GC Guru will continue to be able to help support your organization learn how to use the tools made available.
