Decide exactly how sub-events, tickets, and gifts appear to your guests while they register for an event. The new Customize page tab lets you drag-and-drop items into any order, group related items together, and preview the page before you share your event link.

The Customize page tab now sits in your event admin, between Settings and Invitees. Inside, open Reorder booking page to:

Prefer not to drag? The ⋮ menu next to any item lets you move it to the top, bottom, or an exact position.

Until now, your booking page showed items in the order they were created — with no easy way to change it. That meant the first thing guests saw wasn't always what mattered most. Now you can put your headline sub-event front and center, keep related items together, and shape the experience your guests have.

Your changes go live only when you click Save changes so you can experiment freely first.

Made a mistake? Use or to start over.

Open any event admin and look for the new Customize page tab between Settings and Invitees.

Run sub-events that stretch across more than one calendar day — like a three-day workshop inside your week-long reunion. Your guests see the full date range on the booking page, and it shows up across the right days on their personal itinerary.

When you create or edit a sub-event, you'll now pick a Sub-event type:

for a sub-event that starts and ends on the same day.

for a sub-event that spans two or more days.

Choose Multi-day event and the date field turns into a range picker. Set a start date and an end date, then your start and end times as usual. Guests see the full span (e.g. Jun 11 – Jun 13) on the booking page, and the sub-event appears across each of those days on their itinerary.

Until now, sub-events were single-day only. If you were running multi-day programming inside an event, you had to split it into separate sub-events or stretch things awkwardly. Now it just works and your guests get a clear, accurate picture of what they signed up for.

Nothing changes for your existing sub-events they stay as single-day, and you can convert any of them whenever you like.

A sub-event's dates need to fall inside your main event's date range.

Works with everything you already use — tickets, waitlist, and itinerary visibility all behave the same.

Open any event admin → Settings → Sub-events and schedule → create or edit a sub-event, and you'll see the new Sub-event type field.

Admins can now configure a site-wide default email preference for new profiles created through Data Studio or mapping workflows.

This helps ensure newly created records start with a consistent email permission, instead of relying on unclear or inconsistent defaults.

You can choose one of the following defaults:

Allowed by Admin

Denied by Admin

Allowed for Transaction

This setting only applies to new admin-created profiles. It does not update existing profiles or affect users who sign up or manage their own communication preferences.

Recurring gifts processed through Blackbaud Merchant Services (BBMS) will now flow into Raiser's Edge through batches — giving your team the same review-and-approve control you already have over one-time gifts.

Before: When you pushed gifts to Raiser's Edge, recurring gifts were created directly on the constituent record — bypassing batch review. Admins had little visibility or control before the data landed in the database.

Now: Recurring gifts go through batches first. Nothing commits to a constituent record until you review and approve it in Raiser's Edge.

🔁

A recurring gift in RE is made of two linked records: the Recurring Gift (the donor's ongoing commitment, e.g. "$50/month") and the Recurring Gift Payments (each individual charge). RE requires the recurring gift to be approved before any payment can land against it — and the new sync mirrors that rule.

— Sync the recurring gift. The recurring rift goes to a batch in RE. You review and commit it. The first payment stays safely on Almabase, waiting.

— Sync the first payment. Hit sync again. The first payment lands in a gift batch in RE. Review, commit, done.

Every payment after that is automatic. Once the recurring gift is approved, Raiser's Edge takes over — charges the donor on schedule, drops each payment into a gift batch in RE, and notifies Almabase. No further syncing from your end.

Applies to BBMS recurring gifts only. Other payment gateways are unchanged.

We’ve introduced several additions to Sponsorships to help you streamline sponsor management, reduce manual coordination, and simplify post-event workflows from registration through reconciliation.

Sponsors selecting Pay Later now automatically receive a branded invoice with event details, sponsorship selections, and payment instructions.

This makes it easier to collect offline payments and simplifies sponsor billing.

Sponsors now review and accept Terms & Conditions during checkout.

This ensures expectations are clearly communicated upfront and helps reduce post-registration confusion.

Admins can configure Fair Market Value (FMV) for sponsorship tiers and send tax-ready acknowledgment emails after the event.

This helps sponsors understand their tax-deductible portion and supports compliance needs.

New exports make it easier to reconcile sponsorships and share updates internally.

Reports now include sponsorship details, payments, guest information, and tax-related breakdowns.

Sponsors can upload logos, ads, and other deliverables directly through their portal.

Admins can configure required assets, track submissions, and send reminders, reducing back-and-forth emails.

Sponsors can now purchase multiple sponsorship tiers and optional add-ons like extra tickets or perks.

This provides more flexibility for sponsors and opens up additional revenue opportunities.

Configure sales tax at the event level and automatically apply it to sponsorship purchases.

Sponsors see a clear tax breakdown during checkout and on invoices.

Prevent duplicate sponsorship registrations by detecting existing in-progress entries and guiding sponsors back to their original registration.

Admins can resend confirmation emails to sponsors, making it easy to recover lost links and reduce friction.

Admins can delete incorrect or cancelled sponsorship registrations, ensuring cleaner records and accurate reporting.

These enhancements help you:

🚀 These updates are now live and available to help you manage sponsorships more efficiently end-to-end.

Admins now have more control over mentorship registration, profile data, and member communication—making it easier to tailor programs to your needs and reach people where they are.

💡 Why This Matters

Custom mentorship programs require flexibility. You want mentors and mentees to sign up smoothly without friction, collect the profile info that matters to your program, and send targeted messages to drive engagement. These updates make all of that possible without the manual workarounds.

✨ What's New

Share different links with mentors and mentees. When they register, their role is pre-selected—no extra steps. They can still change it later if needed.

Add custom fields to your sign-up form (industry, chapter, job title, etc.). Data automatically syncs between mentorship forms and member profiles, so alumni don't have to re-enter info.

Know exactly who submitted each form. No more "unidentified" submissions.

Send email or SMS directly from mentorship to specific groups—all members, just mentors, just mentees, or people with incomplete registrations. Perfect for reminders and nudges.

Easily target the right audience for outreach with clear groups: All Members, Mentors, Mentees, and Incomplete Registrations.

We’ve upgraded how offline gifts marked as “Matching Gifts” appear across your giving experiences.

Per-page visibility toggle: You can now choose, per giving page, whether gifts flagged as Matching Gifts should be included in leaderboards, heatmaps, and gift/donor counts.

Consistent display across views: When enabled, Matching Gifts are reflected consistently anywhere those totals and lists are shown (including public-facing donor/leaderboard views and reporting-style displays powered by search).

The new setting is OFF by default, so Matching Gifts remain excluded from these displays unless you explicitly turn it on.

Matching Gift amounts are not added to other challenges/campaigns totals (i.e., enabling Matching Gift visibility only affects page-level displays like leaderboards/heatmaps/counts—it does not roll Matching Gift dollars into other campaign/challenge calculations).

When a popular sub-event fills up, interested attendees no longer hit a dead end. With , attendees can join a queue when their preferred sub-event reaches capacity and get notified automatically when a spot opens up.

Popular sessions fill up fast and until now, that meant turning people away. Sub-Event Waitlist gives your attendees a path forward and gives your team the tools to manage overflow without the spreadsheet juggling. Whether you want full automation or hands-on control, the waitlist adapts to how you work.

Enable waitlisting on individual sub-events so attendees can join a queue instead of being turned away when capacity is reached.

Choose mode to let the system handle notifications hands-free, or mode for full control over who gets offered a spot and when.

When a spot opens, the next eligible attendee receives an email with a time-limited registration link. If they don't respond in time, the system moves to the next person in line.

View and manage all waitlisted registrations from a dedicated Waitlist tab filter by status

search by name or email, and track queue positions at a glance.

In Manual mode, reorder the queue or skip ahead to notify specific attendees.

For sub-events with multiple ticket types, the waitlist operates per-ticket, so notifications go to the right people for the right ticket.

Download a comprehensive Excel report of all waitlist activity across sub-events, including guest details, statuses, and ticket info.

To match the spot terminology introduced by waitlist, the 'book' button on sub-event and ticket booking page has been changed to 'book spot'

We've introduced Joint Gift Support, making it easy for you to associate multiple donors with a single transaction — perfect for couples, families, or group contributions — without splitting the gift amount or inflating donor records.

What's New?

Joint Donor Attribution

Add Donor 2, Donor 3, and beyond to any gift — all credited to the same transaction. Each named donor appears wherever gifts are displayed, from leaderboards to tickers, while the gift amount is counted only once toward campaign totals.

Ideal for couples, families, or any group giving together under a single check or transaction.

Admin-Side Flexibility

Joint donors can be added when creating or editing a gift — no changes needed to donor-facing forms. Admins stay in full control of how joint contributions are recorded and attributed.

Accurate Donor Counts, Always

Each named joint donor counts as a unique donor toward campaign totals, donor counts, and match/challenge calculations — so your numbers reflect reality without duplicate gift amounts skewing your financials.

Seamless RENXT Sync

Joint gifts sync cleanly: the primary donor receives the main gift record, and joint donors receive soft credits — keeping your Raiser's Edge NXT data accurate and audit-ready.

Why It Matters

Whether it's a couple writing a single check or a family pooling contributions, Joint Gift Support ensures every donor gets the recognition they deserve — and your campaign data stays clean.

Email lists through excel will now be validated before uploading. The system checks for incorrect IDs, mismatched records, and potential duplicates—showing you exactly what will happen before any data is added or updated.

This helps prevent:

You can review, fix, or proceed with full visibility during upload. **Learn more**
