Press Release: Blackbaud Increases Philanthropic Focus as Nonprofits Face Difficult Times
Charleston, S.C. (Dec. 19, 2008) – As nonprofits face an increased demand for services this year during uncertain economic times, Blackbaud, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLKB) increased its focus and resources for its corporate philanthropy program—both locally and around the world.
Blackbaud provides more than 22,000 nonprofits with software and services, enabling them to improve operational efficiency, build strong relationships, and raise more money to support their missions. The company formed a new team earlier this year focused exclusively on developing philanthropy programs and delivering on its corporate value “service to others makes the world a better place.”
“Blackbaud’s 2000 employees make positive changes around the world by collaborating with the nonprofit community not only in providing software and services but also in their philanthropic commitment to their local communities,” said Marc Chardon, Blackbaud’s chief executive officer. “We believe that there is much more to running a technology company than developing software, which is why the company places so much importance on being a good corporate citizen.”
