Case Study: University of California San Diego achieves faster quarterly reporting and streamlined fund accounting with Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT

University of California San Diego - Customer Case Study

UC San Diego Foundation, the fundraising arm of the University of California San Diego, faced complex fund accounting and reporting demands across a large public research campus and system—producing internal and quarterly trustee reports, external audits, tax filings and donor stewardship statements—while seeking to reduce the workload on campus IT staff.

The Foundation migrated to Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT, a cloud fund accounting solution with automatic updates and streamlined workflows. The move reduced IT overhead, sped up quarterly close processes, and simplified production of 12+ key reports each year, delivering clearer, more concise financial data for audits, board reporting and donor stewardship.
