The student-alumni network that syncs natively with Raiser's Edge NXT.
Studiously connects directly to Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT — importing your constituents into a searchable alumni directory, then writing enriched career data back into RE NXT custom fields. Your advancement team activates alumni for student mentorship without a single manual export.
Bidirectional by design
Which Raiser's Edge NXT data does Studiously sync?
Most platforms claim a Raiser's Edge integration that only reads. Studiously moves data both ways through the Blackbaud SKY API — so the work your alumni network generates flows back into the system of record your advancement team already lives in.
A searchable directory from your constituents
Studiously pulls your alumni constituents — names, class years, education, and existing contact data — and builds a private, searchable directory. No CSV wrangling: it reads straight from Raiser's Edge NXT, matched on the Blackbaud System Record ID.
Enriched career data, back in your CRM
As Studiously enriches alumni — current employer, role, industry, location, and more — that data is written back into Raiser's Edge NXT custom fields automatically. Your CRM stops being a static snapshot and becomes a continuously improving record.
The unfair advantage
Enriched data, written straight to RE NXT custom fields
This is the part other alumni platforms don't do. Studiously provisions eight Constituent custom-field categories in your Raiser's Edge NXT environment and keeps them current — so every campaign, segment, and report your team runs is working from richer data.
One-time custom-field setup
Studiously creates the eight custom-field categories in your RE NXT environment — idempotently, checking for any that already exist first. (This step uses the "Configure custom fields" permission; an RE NXT admin can also create the eight fields manually once.)
Enrichment writes back automatically
As alumni records are enriched, the values are written into those custom fields in a single batched SKY API call per constituent — no per-field manual entry, no exports.
Idempotent, non-destructive updates
Studiously tracks the field instances it created and updates them in place. Re-syncing the same value is a no-op, and your existing constituent records are never overwritten.
Built for your school, not downsized to it
Designed for independent schools on Raiser's Edge NXT
The big alumni platforms were built for universities and adapted down. Studiously is built K-12-first for independent and prep schools running RE NXT — and it centers the use case those schools actually care about: connecting current students with alumni for mentorship and career advice, not just managing a donor database.
FERPA-aware by design
The student-facing directory shows only non-sensitive professional information, keeps alumni contact details private behind Studiously's email routing, and gives every alumnus a one-click opt-out — so engaging current students with alumni stays squarely on the right side of FERPA.
