By Claire Sale, Netsquared
I recently had the opportunity to connect with Melissa Nelson, Blackbaud's Media Production and Outreach Manager, to learn more about their new initiative, Blackbaud TV. Blackbaud provides software and services to nonprofits to enable them to improve operational efficiency, build relationships, and raise funds. Blackbaud TV is the newest tool they’ve created in an effort to support Nonprofits through informational resources, and I hope this interview serves as a good introduction to the service.
Q: What is Blackbaud TV?
Blackbaud TV is an online video portal with videos on current topics specific to the nonprofit community. When you watch Blackbaud TV, you can expect to learn about trends, news, current issues, best practices, and technology, plus a few tips that will help you do your job better and make an impact on your mission.

So Blackbaud is getting involved in video making too by offering Blackabud TV as a resource to nonprofits who are looking to learn more about everything from video making, to fundraising, web development, and even hear from peers about what they are doing.
