Blackbaud in the News: Rewarding employees who give back

Melanie Mathos — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:57:00 GMT

From the September issue of Charleston magazine:

Few corporations are as close to the world-changing power of philanthropy as Daniel Island-based software company Blackbaud, Inc. Their main program, The Raiser’s Edge®, manages fundraising and development for nonprofit organizations, so it’s a natural fit for employees to be close to the nonprofit community. “Our company believes that service to others makes the world a better place,” says CEO Marc Chardon. And since 1,110 of 1,700 Blackbaud employees are here in Charleston, most of that service takes place in this community and is driven by those very staff members.
