I connect Raiser's Edge NXT to Microsoft Power Automate and Google Workspace for independent school advancement offices, so your team spends their time building donor relationships, not spreadsheets.
The advancement office shouldn't have to be database administrators.
About
I'm Andrew Peterson, a Blackbaud-certified Raiser's Edge NXT specialist with 15 years of experience across independent school advancement offices. I've been consulting independently since 2018, and I currently work as an Advancement Services Manager at an independent school in New York — which means every automation I build has already run in production.

Services
Your donor data moves where it needs to go, automatically. Raiser's Edge NXT connected to the rest of your office so gift records, constituent updates, and reporting are always in sync.
The right person gets the right information at the right time, without anyone pressing send. Lapsed donor alerts, anniversary triggers, annual fund notifications — recurring tasks become background processes.
Advancement reports delivered to your team on schedule, pulled from live data. The manual export-and-send routine, replaced by a system that handles itself.
Work
Every Monday morning, staff members arrive to a segmented list of lapsed donors. Each entry links directly to the constituent record and opens a ready-to-send outreach email. No pulling, no filtering.
