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, wealth screening, and QuickBooks kept in sync. For large institutions running complex major-gift operations across big teams, Raiser's Edge NXT's depth and services model is its home turf.
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 37 templates; constituents, gifts, and campaign history map via CSV export, with automatic deduplication.
Does Tormano do wealth screening like Blackbaud?
Tormano includes wealth screening built on free public data — FEC political-giving records and ProPublica's IRS Form 990 database — with capacity tiers, propensity scores, and recommended ask amounts, at no per-screen cost.
