Press Release: The Salvation Army Southern Territory Selects Blackbaud Enterprise CRM
Charleston, S.C. (December 3, 2008) – Blackbaud, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLKB) today announced that The Salvation Army Southern Territory (TSAS) has chosen Blackbaud Enterprise CRM™ as its centralized database to support the sharing of cross-division information, facilitate improved reporting and streamline operations. At a national level, The Salvation Army raised $2 billion in 2007 and recently ranked No. 2 in The Chronicle of Philanthropy’s “Philanthropy 400” list of organizations that raise the most funds from private sources. Though donations grew at a national level by 23 percent last year, growth in request for aid has surpassed that amount in recent weeks. Although TSAS is a recognized leader in raising support to expand its mission, the Territory will be faced with the tough job of bridging the gap between donations and the rising demand for services in the coming years due to the economic downturn.
