I am in the process of looking for a new company that will assist us in finding new addresses/e-mails/phone numbers. We have previously used Data Enrichment through BlackBaud but unfortunately other members of our staff feel the information was not as up to date as they think it should be. Does anyone...

I’ve noticed that we have an issue with our “send mail” boxes within our constituent’s records. We will have a preferred “home” address with the “send mail” box checked along with several “previous” addresses with the “send mail” box checked. The current policy is to keep the "send mail" box...

Hi all, I am looking to improve our data entry speed and would like to implement a system that allows you to type in a zipcode and the city and state would automatically populate. If you have used systems that work well with Raiser's Edge, I would love to hear your ideas.

We are planning the roll-out of RE into our colleges, who will then maintain their alumni data. This does cause some concerns that changes may be made that are against our normal practice/policy and would like to track changes made in an audit report.

If we have a donation from or a reason to have 'branches' in RE, we give each their own record. If we have a parent co we link them to parent co. We soft credit as we deem appropriate. For us having separate records works the best for getting receipts/communications where they need to go. My...

Hello fellow Raiser's Edge Users! What do you do about Business/Corporations/Organizations with mutiple locations? Do you create a new record for each location and then link them to a Parent Company? Do you only have one record per company, then list all the various locations under Alternative addresses...

Hi there, I'm about to work on queries to pull up the mailing list for this year's Holiday Direct Mail. But with every Direct Mail, we always have issues with multiple donors that share the same address. We don't want to send multiple letters to the same family. It looks rather bad when the...

Tina, Was sort of hoping someone had a great solution as your thought of an export and comparing is all I can think of.
