Blackbaud shared how Morehead State University Foundation has integrated Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT® with its existing Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® software to elevate their operations. The Morehead State University (MSU) Foundation fundraises and invests funds to support college students and works with the Office of Alumni Relations and Development to ensure students have the best experience. As a long-time Raiser's Edge NXT customer, MSU's leadership chose to also adopt Financial Edge NXT to integrate their fundraising and accounting software to greatly improve efficiencies for both offices.

Like most organizations, transparency across departments and with donors is very important to MSU Foundation. With Financial Edge NXT integrated with Raiser's Edge NXT, the advancement team has access to crucial donor fund information and can easily build reports directly within the solution. With Financial Edge NXT, organizations can easily build reports directly within the solution.

Previously, the foundation relied on manual processes and external spreadsheets, and had the burden of cleaning up the data because it wasn't ready for exporting or visual reporting. Another benefit of Financial Edge NXT is having the ability to work in other areas of the solution while simultaneously running comprehensive reports. That includes making financial statements for multiple projects.

As a result, the MSU Foundation can spend more time funding and growing their programs and less time managing reports.
