What's New
This week, Raiser's Edge NXT released changes for customers as part of waved roll outs. The updates available to you are listed below. If you don't see any updates, don't worry! You'll receive them in a future wave.
Gift Processing
Link opportunities to gifts in grid batch
You can now link opportunities to gifts directly in grid batch, helping you capture relationships during entry and reduce follow‑up work. After you add the Opportunities column, you can link existing opportunities, create new ones, or associate opportunities from different constituents, including linking multiple opportunities to a single gift. After you approve the batch, the system automatically applies these links to the gift record, improving accuracy and streamlining high‑volume gift processing workflows.
Grid batch: split gifts by percentage and set split defaults
In grid view batch, you can now split gifts by percentage instead of calculating individual amounts per split. Add the split column to the grid, then enter percentages for each split. In a batch template, you can define default split percentages to be automatically applied to gifts in the grid.
Intelligent Tags
New standard tags help you spot more fundraising moments automatically
New standard intelligent tags flag more fundraising moments automatically across the donor lifecycle:
-
Consecutive giving streak
-
Emerging prospect
-
Giving anniversary approaching
-
Prospect assigned but no opportunity
-
Qualified prospect
-
Reunion year (with Alumni Tracking only)
-
Secondary prospect
-
Top prospect
-
Undergiving prospect
-
Untapped prospect
-
Upcoming pledge installment
Note: Prospect Insights intelligent tags may not be available immediately after release and will appear gradually over the next week as processing completes.
These tags appear on constituent records, in lists, and in Work Center, and require no setup. For details on when each tag applies, see Standard Tag Definitions.
Find your best recurring gift candidates with the Untapped sustainer tag
A new premium tag, Untapped sustainer, flags donors who show strong potential to become recurring gift donors, based on their giving pattern. Use it to prioritize sustainer conversion outreach with the donors most likely to say yes.
Keep fundraisers focused on the standard tags that matter to their role
Admins can now limit a standard tag to specific users, the same visibility control custom tags use. Hiding a tag from a user’s view doesn’t remove underlying data — it only limits who sees it. Use this to keep every user focused on the signals that matter most to their role.
To change a tag’s visibility, go to Settings, Intelligent tags, and select Manage next to a standard tag.
Note: If you limit a standard tag to specific users, include yourself in that list to keep your own visibility into the tag.
Manage standard tags with the same tools as custom tags
The standard tags list now matches the at‑a‑glance view custom tags use. For each standard tag, you can see:
-
Description
-
Recommended guidance
-
Visibility
-
Constituent count
Use Find in this list or Columns to focus on what matters to your team.
Management options differ between the two tag types, because standard tags come from Raiser's Edge NXT with fixed criteria, while custom tags are fully defined by your organization. For a standard tag, select Manage to set its visibility to All users or Specific users. For a custom tag, select Edit to update its name, description, data source, recommendation, priority, and visibility. Custom tags also support Copy and Delete. Standard tags don’t, because Raiser's Edge NXT defines and maintains them.
Act on an intelligent tag without leaving the record
Select a standard or custom tag to open a popover that explains what the tag means and quickly create a follow-up action.
From the popover, select Add action to create a follow‑up that's pre‑filled with the tag’s context, including the recommended next step and category. For standard tags, relevant details from the constituent’s record, such as pledge or gift information, are added to the action’s note, so they’re ready when you reach out. You can review, personalize, and save the action.
One way to try this: filter a constituent list or Work Center view to a single tag, such as Upcoming pledge installment, then select the tag and use Add action to create the follow‑up. For a complete walkthrough, see Use Intelligent Tags to Move from Signal to Follow-Up.
Changes to existing intelligent tags
We’re retiring three tags that were based only on a single wealth‑related indicator: High wealth rating, Higher giving potential, and Recent wealth data.
Prospect Insights and Prospect Insights Pro each consider wealth alongside giving behavior, external philanthropy, and demographic information, giving you a more actionable prioritization signal. If you use Prospect Insights, review the Undergiving prospect, Untapped prospect, and Qualified prospect tags instead. If you use Prospect Insights Pro, review the Undergiving prospect, Emerging prospect, Secondary prospect, Top prospect, and Qualified prospect tags instead.
Note: These three tags will stop updating on September 8, 2026, and no longer appear on constituent records, lists, or Work Center. If a list filters on one of these tags, that list keeps returning the same results. You can’t add a retired tag as a new filter, and you can’t add one back after you remove it from a list.
We’re also updating New donor and New sustainer to recognize soft credits along with direct gifts, matching how other lifecycle tags, such as At risk donor and Lapsed donor, work. For details on every standard tag, see Standard Tag Definitions.
Agents for Good
Get more from your Knowledge and Brand Voice updates in Development Agent
When a constituent is assigned to Development Agent, the agent now schedules and generates communications one at a time instead of creating a full year's communications plan upfront.
Note: Development Agent generates communications seven days before their scheduled send dates, providing a seven-day review cycle. By generating content closer to delivery, the agent incorporates more recent Knowledge and Brand Voice updates while still allowing time for review.
The updated scheduling experience applies immediately to newly assigned constituents. Constituents assigned before July 29, 2026, continue with their existing scheduled engagements and generated content. After those communications are sent, future communications follow the updated scheduling experience.
Note: This What's New automatically appears after a new release so you know what's what.
