If you\u2019ve ever been stuck in the office after a show or event, manually entering ticket sales into your CRM, you’ll know how time-consuming it is. One typo and your reports are off. One missed entry and your finance team chases you for weeks.<\/p>\n
For arts and culture organizations \u2013 museums, theaters, zoos, aquariums \u2013 where ticket sales and donations overlap constantly, this pain is magnified.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Cue the Donorbox + Blackbaud Altru integration! Donorbox now connects directly with Blackbaud Altru, syncing donations, ticket purchases, and supporter details automatically.<\/p>\n
In this article, we\u2019ll show you how this integration works and how it can save your team hours, reduce mistakes, and help you engage supporters.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>What Is Blackbaud Altru?<\/h2>\n
Blackbaud Altru<\/a> is a cloud-based CRM platform designed specifically for arts and cultural organizations.<\/p>\n
Think of it as the central hub where you track who\u2019s coming to your events, who\u2019s buying tickets, who\u2019s donating, and how often.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
With Altru, your organization can:<\/p>\n
\n
- Manage ticketing for daily admissions and special events<\/li>\n
- Track memberships and renewals<\/li>\n
- Record and report on donations, grants, and revenue<\/li>\n
- Build a complete profile of every visitor, member, and donor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It\u2019s trusted by museums, theaters, historical sites, zoos, and science centers worldwide. The problem? Altru is powerful, but entering data can still be a slow, manual process \u2013 which is where Donorbox comes in.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Why This Integration?<\/h2>\n
Nonprofits and cultural organizations are often stuck using a patchwork of tools: an event ticketing system for admissions, a separate donation platform, a spreadsheet or two, and finally, a CRM to store the data.<\/p>\n
The result is hours spent manually reconciling all this data. I\u2019ll give you an example:<\/p>\n
You host a sold-out art exhibition. You sold 300 tickets online, collected a dozen extra donations at checkout, received several in-person contributions at your donation kiosk<\/a>, and now you have to make sure all that data lands in Altru \u2013 linked to the right constituents and designations. That could take hours.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This integration eliminates that headache. The Donorbox + Blackbaud Altru connection, priced at $65\/month and included in Donorbox Premium<\/strong>, automatically sends your donations, ticket sales, and supporter details into Altru \u2013 no extra work required.<\/p>\n
