Raiser's Edge NXT
Add Raiser's Edge NXT to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Raiser's Edge NXT is Blackbaud's fundraising CRM, so the records are constituents, the gifts and pledges attached to them, and the campaigns, appeals and funds a gift is attributed to. Attribution is not decoration here: those three values are what the finance and development teams reconcile against at the end of the year, so a write that leaves them blank creates work rather than saving it. The other particular is that organisations extend the constituent record with attributes of their own, so no two environments carry the same shape and mapping has to be read per tenant. Access runs through each organisation's own grant against their Blackbaud environment, so a revoked connection affects only them. fastn owns the credentials, token refresh and API upkeep.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let each nonprofit connect their own Blackbaud environment so a donation your product takes is written as a gift on the right constituent.
Set the campaign, appeal and fund on every gift, since those are what the development and finance teams reconcile against later.
Create pledges and read the payments against them, so a commitment that has slipped is visible without a report run.
Map the attributes an organisation defined itself, so an unusual constituent record is configuration rather than a code branch.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reviews a constituent's giving history and open pledges before a stewardship call.
An agent reports what an appeal raised and which constituents responded, reading one organisation only.
An agent records a gift with its campaign, appeal and fund, and the write is attributed.
Example prompt
Which appeal brought in this constituent's most recent gift, and is their pledge schedule up to date?

Why teams use the Raiser's Edge NXT integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Raiser's Edge NXT integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Raiser's Edge NXT account inside your product and work their accounts, contacts and opportunities there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: every CRM instance is customised, so standard objects are never the whole story. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Raiser's Edge NXT update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Raiser's Edge NXT connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep customer records aligned between your product and the CRM each customer already runs without wiring it twice.

Google AdsRaiser's Edge NXT integration FAQ
How do I add a Raiser's Edge NXT integration to my product?
Enable the Raiser's Edge NXT connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Raiser's Edge NXT account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Raiser's Edge NXT client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Raiser's Edge NXT account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Raiser's Edge NXT account and only ever sees their own accounts, contacts and opportunities. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Raiser's Edge NXT integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reviews a constituent's giving history and open pledges before a stewardship call.
Who maintains the Raiser's Edge NXT integration?
fastn does. When Raiser's Edge NXT changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Does the Raiser's Edge NXT integration support custom fields and custom objects?
Yes. CRM instances are heavily customised, so field and object mapping is configuration rather than code. Each customer maps their own fields during setup, which means onboarding a customer with an unusual Raiser's Edge NXT schema does not require a deploy on your side.
Can records sync both ways?
Yes. You can read from Raiser's Edge NXT, write back to it, and react to changes through triggers, so a record updated in your product and a record updated in Raiser's Edge NXT do not drift apart.
What can I build with the Raiser's Edge NXT integration?
A common starting point: let each nonprofit connect their own Blackbaud environment so a donation your product takes is written as a gift on the right constituent. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Raiser's Edge NXT integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Raiser's Edge NXT does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
