(December 3, 2008)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;"&gt; – Blackbaud, Inc. (Nasdaq: &lt;a href="http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176673&amp;amp;p=irol-irhome"&gt;&lt;font color="#800080"&gt;BLKB&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) today announced that &lt;a href="http://www.uss.salvationarmy.org/uss/www_uss.nsf"&gt;&lt;font color="#800080"&gt;The Salvation Army Southern Territory&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (TSAS) has chosen Blackbaud Enterprise CRM&lt;sup&gt;™&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;COLOR:windowtext;"&gt;as its centralized database to support the sharing of cross-division information, facilitate improved reporting and streamline operations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;COLOR:windowtext;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;COLOR:windowtext;"&gt;At a national level, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;"&gt;The Salvation Army raised $2 billion in 2007 and recently ranked No. 2 in &lt;i&gt;The Chronicle of Philanthropy’s&lt;/i&gt; “&lt;a href="http://philanthropy.com/stats/philanthropy400/"&gt;&lt;font color="#800080"&gt;Philanthropy 400&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;” 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 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;COLOR:windowtext;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
