"Switching from GiveCampus & NetCommunity to Almabase, we didn't lose anything in terms of functionality. In fact, Almabase offered everything we needed — an easy-to-use yet powerful giving tool consolidated with events and emails within one cohesive platform. It showed us a cost advantage and an efficiency that we sought as a team."

"Almabase significantly improved our Day of Giving experience for both donors and staff. For the first time, donors could easily split gifts across multiple funds in a single transaction, reducing fees, processing time, and administrative workload. The Almabase team was incredibly responsive and accommodating to our needs and are a great partner."

INTRODUCING THE WHITE GLOVE SWITCH EXPERIENCE

Everything we do to make switching feel easy.

Super fast onboarding

We take you live within weeks, validate you 
with a real event, and you're all set.

Your NXT history comes with you

Every record, event history, and giving data carries over via TrueSync  with your field mappings, naming conventions, and data structure preserved.

Parallel platforms

Both BBNC and Almabase run simultaneously until you've validated with a live event. No forced cutover, no risk.

Free NXT integration audit

Before you sign — 30 min with our solutions engineer to address any concerns about your data, naming conventions, and setup.

BBNC was built for a different era. Your team deserves better.

The workarounds have become the workflow. It's time to ask whether the platform is working for you, or the other way around.

The daily reality of running advancement on BBNC

30-event homecoming,
zero sub-event support

BBNC can't handle multi-sub-event registration in a single checkout. Your alumni register in multiple places. Your team manually reconciles for days.

Export, import, reconcile.
Repeat forever.

Every event invitation requires exporting a list from NXT, building an email in Constant Contact, sending it, then manually checking who registered. Every. Single. Time.

Giving day reconciliation took longer than the campaign

You ran giving day in-house or through a third party tool, and the manual reconciliation with NXT made the whole team swear it off.

Event pages that look like they're from 2008

Your event registration pages aren't mobile-responsive. No photo galleries, no embedded video. You're even hesitant to send them to alumni.

Double data entry, zero automation

Create the event in NXT, rebuild the registration page in BBNC, then manually enter data back into NXT. Triple the work, triple the error risk.

ONE PLATFORM, THREE MODULES

Everything BBNC does. And everything it can’t.

All your advancement team needs in one place. Drop the extra tools, and manage events, email, and giving day, all synced natively with RE-NXT.
