What is Aqueduct Analytics
Aqueduct Analytics is a flexible data warehouse solution built for organizations using Blackbaud’s Raiser’s Edge NXT and other systems. It provides a secure, centralized repository for your fundraising, financial, and third-party data, enabling powerful analytics and business intelligence without manual exports or disconnected spreadsheets.
Because your data lives in one place, you can use tools like Power BI, Tableau, or any BI platform you choose to build dashboards and reports that provide a complete picture of constituent activity and organizational performance.
Why Aqueduct Analytics
Connect all your data sources
Bring together Raiser’s Edge NXT, Financial Edge NXT, and other data into a single, secure warehouse for unified analytics.
Analytics without API constraints
Aqueduct delivers the full Raiser’s Edge NXT dataset into your warehouse, not just API extracts, so your dashboards stay comprehensive, current, and reliable without heavy maintenance.
Accelerate reporting and trend analysis
With automated updates, your team avoids manual data compilation and can focus on exploring trends in fundraising, revenue, and engagement.
Use the analytics tools you already love
Leverage Power BI, Tableau, or any business intelligence platform — no proprietary reporting tools required.
Save time and reduce technical burden
Aqueduct’s automated data pipeline and low-maintenance setup give you powerful analytics without needing a full data engineering team.
AI-ready by design
Aqueduct integrates with Microsoft Fabric, enabling Power BI, Copilot, and AI-driven analytics on top of your fundraising data without re-architecting your environment.
Why Aqueduct is Different
Traditional data export workflows and manual spreadsheet reports slow teams down and introduce risk. Aqueduct Analytics delivers the full Raiser’s Edge NXT dataset into a secure data warehouse that you control, without the limitations of API-only access. The result is less time reconciling partial or disconnected data and more time exploring trends, identifying opportunities, and telling the story behind your numbers.
Who Aqueduct is For
Aqueduct Analytics is ideal for advancement, finance, and operations teams at nonprofit, higher-ed, and healthcare organizations using Raiser’s Edge NXT that want a complete, accurate view of their data and the power to analyze it using familiar business intelligence tools.
What Teams are Saying
“Aqueduct is an essential tool in our technology toolkit providing the data which powers our fundraising analytics, facilitates the identification of potential prospects and helps determine best ways to fundraise.”
Director of Foundation Operations, Children’s Minnesota Foundation
“It used to take us eight hours to export our fundraising data, and we could only do it weekly… Now our data updates automatically, and leadership can pull up current numbers on their phone and see results as of that morning… Aqueduct has given us both greater efficiency and a holistic, granular view of our data.”
Executive Director, Advancement Strategy & Operations, Willamette University
“Aqueduct gives us a stable, extensible foundation for data engineering and analytics. Our old ETL pipeline required a dozen scripts to ingest and structure data. Aqueduct eliminated that complexity. The table structure is logical and human-readable, which helped us quickly migrate legacy code and queries.”
Director of Advancement Analytics, Colby College
