YourMembership.com Inc., a leading global provider of online member communities and membership management software, recently announced the launch and immediate availability of its new plug-in for Blackbaud®’s The Raiser’s Edge®. The plug-in is an optional add-on product to YourMembership.com that enables the automated, on-command synchronization of core member data between YourMembership.com and The Raiser’s Edge.
“This new plug-in allows us to help our customers who use RE streamline their business processes via our real-time, single-click member data synchronization system,” said William Stover, Jr., CEO and president of YourMembership.com. “We solved an important business need for our customers by bridging the data gap between YourMembership.com and The Raiser’s Edge. Now, our customers who use The Raiser’s Edge have a simple, affordable solution to synchronizing their valuable member data between YourMembership.com and RE.”
The plug-in includes an intuitive configuration wizard and synchronization features, and once installed the YourMembership.com plug-in is accessible via the Plug-in Menu within the user’s local version of The Raiser’s Edge software.
Using the configuration wizard, users can set the plug-in to synchronize by constituent code and address types; map YourMembership.com member types to The Raiser’s Edge constituent codes; configure the plug-in to manage and map certain fields, and more. Once the client runs the configuration wizard, the settings are saved and administrators subsequently can synchronize member data via a single click within The Raiser’s Edge.
The plug-in’s synchronization features update core member data including fields containing biographical information such as first name, last name, etc.; address types for multiple addresses such as preferred, business, etc.; spouse information; membership data; and more. Membership data fields include member status, dates, membership type, verification data, etc.
Reporting and conflict resolution features also are available via the YourMembership.com plug-in for The Raiser’s Edge. The plug-in automatically generates synchronization reports and logs that are easy to understand and stores these reports and logs for quick reference. As an added level of protection and accountability, the plug-in logs when – and which – administrators make modifications to the plug-in configuration settings.
For conflict resolution, the plug-in captures and illustrates which data fields have changed since last synchronization and allows users to decide whether to sync from The Raiser’s Edge to YourMembership.com or from YourMembership.com to The Raiser’s Edge. Within the YourMembership.com plug-in, users may address data conflict resolution down to a field-by-field basis, and they may choose to review all records during synchronization.

National Philanthropy Day celebrates and honors the differences made by philanthropy. It’s a time to reflect on the meaning of giving – of all that’s been accomplished and all that’s left to do. This year, the Association of Fundraising Professionals and Learning to Give have created lessons for children and their educators to help explain the importance of philanthropy. Empowering young people to make a difference provides them with a broader understanding of what it means to be part of a community as well as gives them an appreciation for what they have.
