"You decide what matters." I really like this tagline, which speaks to the philosophy behind the 2011 Chase Community Giving program . In the end, Chase will award $5 million during two rounds of the spring challenge. Who decides which nonprofits...
I work with some AMAZING people! A little background... Since 2001, Blackbaud’s employees have donated more than 55,000 toys to children in the communities where we live and work. Just last year, we took it international and included our many offices...

This is an exciting week. Of course, a lot of that has to do with the fact that the World Cup in going on in South Africa . And, for all those people who say soccer doesn't have any action, how about the last 15 minutes of the USA vs. Slovenia match...
Great news! We've launched a Nonprofit Leadership Circle. What's that? It's a group made up of all the Blackbaud employees who serve on nonprofit boards. Why? Good question. There are two reasons. One - we want to celebrate and recognize our...
