Blackbaud Receives Green Business Pioneer Award

Charleston, S.C. (August 19, 2010) – Blackbaud, Inc (Nasdaq: BLKB), the leading global provider of nonprofit software and services, is rounding out the third quarter with a continued focus on its core value of “making the world a better place.” As a result of its many employee-led initiatives, Blackbaud was named a Green Business Pioneer by the City of Charleston and the Charleston County Council. The Pioneer Award was presented to Blackbaud because of its work stewarding and protecting Charleston’s environment and resources through achievable business practices.

“We are very humbled to be among the recipients of the Pioneer Award,” said Rachel Hutchisson, director of citizenship and philanthropy at Blackbaud. “When it comes to being green, it’s not about what we’ve done; it’s about what we can still do for our environment and the nonprofit community, which is why we have also entered the Charleston Green Business Challenge.”

The Charleston Green Business Challenge is a voluntary opportunity for businesses of all types and sizes to pursue sustainability and green-driven strategies, while improving business performance. Developed by the City of Chicago, the challenge is being piloted in five cities across the nation through the initiative of ICLEI—Local Governments for Sustainability.
