Frequently asked questions

How does Tormano's price compare to Raiser's Edge NXT?

Tormano publishes flat rates: $49, $99 and $249 a month billed annually, with unlimited users on every tier. Blackbaud quotes Raiser's Edge NXT for each organisation, so your figure is quoted rather than published.

Is Tormano a realistic Raiser's Edge alternative?

For small and mid-size nonprofits, yes: donations, pledges, recurring giving, grants, volunteers, events, tax receipts and QuickBooks kept in sync. Tormano is built for that size of organisation; a large institution running major gifts across several teams is better served by Raiser's Edge.

How does accounting integration compare?

Raiser's Edge pairs with Blackbaud's own Financial Edge. Tormano syncs two ways with QuickBooks, the accounting system most small and mid-size nonprofits already use, tracks funds and restrictions, and issues receipts that match what is in the books.

Can I migrate from Raiser's Edge?

Yes. Export constituents, gifts and campaign history as CSV and run them through the import wizard: it reads your column names, proposes a mapping you confirm once, and merges duplicates for you. A straightforward import finishes in about an hour; a large institutional database takes one to three weeks.

Does Tormano do prospect research?

Partly. Tormano shows a donor's foundation and nonprofit filings, taken from the public IRS Form 990 database, on their record at no extra cost, with a link to the original filing. It does not estimate giving capacity, net worth or a recommended ask amount.
