Blackbaud TeamRaiser Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used TeamRaiser for multiple peer to peer fundraising events in my previous position. It was used by everyone on my team and some other members throughout our organization. It helped us organize and report for our fundraising year over year. It was integral in projecting our future fundraising as well.

Likelihood to Recommend

It was well suited for our peer to peer events and not appropriate for our ticketed events.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

TeamRaiser is used by our Philanthropy team to manage a Do It Yourself (DIY) fundraising website. This allows our supporters to host their own online fundraising activities, such as in celebration of a special occasion or related to a sporting or corporate event.

Likelihood to Recommend

TeamRaiser is well suited for peer-to-peer fundraising activities, such as large pledge-based events like walks and runs or DIY fundraisers of many different types.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In the Development Department, we use TeamRaiser as a fundraiser tool. Specifically, we have created an event called a Virtual Food Drive that allows people to fundraise instead of hosting a traditional food drive. This helps make their contributions have a greater impact on their community and enhances their ability to feed more kids, seniors, and families in the Central Florida area. It also helps on a logistical level, as we are not required to pick up donations, nor are they required to drop them off, storing, sorting, and distribution of donated goods. Raising funds through a Virtual Food Drives allows us to distribute more food and feed more people than a traditional food drive.

Likelihood to Recommend

I can only speak from a DIY fundraising perspective, but TeamRaiser is definitely a beast. It has a lot of capability, but if you are short on time, money, and expertise, it may be overwhelming and/or not a right fit for a campaign. It's important to have an initial design team to build a campaign and to make a check-list for each campaign set up, as one wrong setting can break the entire thing.

But, it is also a powerful tool that can be used to raise a lot of money with the right marketing plan behind it.
