Raiser’s Edge Database View Ends Sept. 15, 2027 | Our Reaction

Blackbaud has made it official: Raiser’s Edge NXT Database View will no longer be available beginning September 15, 2027. So… are we planning a funeral or a celebration of life? Nic Prenger and Andy Schroeder from Prenger Solutions Group react to the announcement, the very real concerns it raises, and what comes next for the fundraisers and database professionals who rely on Raiser’s Edge every day. We talk about: • Why an official sunset date makes this transition feel different • The concern about everyday workflows that aren’t yet available in Web View • The new capabilities giving us reasons to be excited • What this means for years of carefully built processes and SOPs • How PSG will keep helping with free webinars, tutorials, and practical advice We work in these databases every day, too. We share the frustrations, we see the improvements, and we’ll be figuring out the next steps alongside you. One important detail from Blackbaud’s announcement: your data stays in Raiser’s Edge NXT, and no data migration is required. Your workflows, integrations, and Database View-dependent tools still need attention.
