Case Study: Lambda Legal achieves accelerated fundraising and faster reporting with Blackbaud

How Lambda Legal sped up fundraising success with cloud migration

Lambda Legal, founded in 1973, is a national legal organization that relies entirely on donations to support impact litigation, public policy advocacy, education, and communications for LGBTQ+ people and those living with HIV. With fundraising and relationship management used across multiple departments and many locations, the organization needed a more efficient, scalable way to capture detailed donor data and accelerate reporting and collaboration.

Lambda Legal consolidated on Blackbaud solutions—Raiser’s Edge NXT, Financial Edge NXT, Luminate Online, and Merchant Services—and migrated key databases to Microsoft Azure. The cloud migration completed within hours, enabling faster complex queries and reporting, smoother cross‑team workflows, and more staff time focused on advancing the organization’s mission.
