Frequently asked questions
How does Tormano's price compare to Raiser's Edge NXT?
Blackbaud does not publish Raiser's Edge NXT pricing, so a direct comparison is not possible - plans are quoted through their sales process. Tormano publishes flat rates: $49, $99, and $249 per month billed annually, unlimited users.
Is Tormano a realistic Raiser's Edge alternative?
For small and mid-size nonprofits, yes: donations, pledges, recurring giving, grants, volunteers, events, tax receipts, public-filings research, and QuickBooks kept in sync. For large institutions running complex major-gift operations across big teams, Tormano does not position itself as a replacement.
What about accounting?
The philosophies differ. Blackbaud orients toward its own Financial Edge accounting ecosystem. Tormano is built around QuickBooks - the accounting system most small and mid-size nonprofits already use - with two-way real-time sync, fund and restriction tracking, and receipts in lock-step with the ledger.
Can I migrate from Raiser's Edge?
Yes. Tormano ships a Raiser's Edge import template among its 30+ templates; constituents, gifts, and campaign history map via CSV export, with automatic deduplication. Most data-level imports complete in under an hour; for a large institutional database, plan on one to three weeks of mapping and validation, the same expectation we publish for any platform-scale move.
Does Tormano do prospect research like Blackbaud?
Tormano includes free public-filings research - FEC political-giving records and ProPublica's IRS Form 990 database - surfaced on the contact record with source links back to the original filing, at no per-lookup cost. It reports what the filings say rather than estimating a capacity or an ask amount.
