Webinar: The Most Overlooked Raiser’s Edge Issues (and how to fix them)
Is your Raiser’s Edge database working for you—or quietly working against you?
Marlisa Post, a Database Specialist with Donor Database Experts, who brings over 25 years of hands-on experience with Raiser’s Edge, exposes the hidden trouble spots most organizations miss.
Here are three key takeaways from this session:
- Simplicity Drives Clarity: Overloaded constituent codes, redundant attributes, and excessive action types create confusion and reduce data quality. Streamlining these elements improves usability, reporting, and team confidence.
- Structure Enables Strategy: Aligning codes and actions with organizational goals, like moves management or donor segmentation, transforms cluttered data into strategic insight.
- Review, Clean, Repeat: Regular audits and cleanup of constituent codes, actions, and attributes are essential. Making small, intentional changes leads to big improvements in database performance and trust
Whether you’re cleaning up a legacy database or trying to avoid common pitfalls, this session will show you how to spot the warning signs, prevent downstream reporting chaos, and make smarter data decisions. If you’ve ever inherited a messy system—or suspect one is brewing—this is the deep dive you didn’t know you needed.
