You can export your donation history into a CSV file, and you can make your reports into PDFs. The online help for BlackbaudNow is powered by the open source software MediaWiki.

I love it because it’s really easy to set up and back up (it’s all files, not in a database,) and it’s has draft autosaves (yay!). I have two other wikis ( a public and private wiki) that are in Mediawiki, on my web host. And I contribute to varied other wikis, which are on varied other wiki platforms. Be Helpful.
