Earlier this month, Carolyn Murray , an anchor at News 2 and host of the Newsmakers program on Comcast Channel 2 in Charleston, SC, interviewed Blackbaud CEO Marc Chardon. The premise of the interview was a discussion with the leader of a successful company...
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...
Hey there from Washington, DC, where I'm gathered with a bunch of my colleagues - and tons of nonprofit professionals -- for the 11th annual Blackbaud Conference for Nonprofits. It's so exciting to be here - one of 2,200 people talking about nonprofit...
I can't wait for tomorrow. It's one of my favorite days of the year, and I know I'm not alone! Although the Trident United Way usually holds its annual Day of Caring on September 11th, this year that day fell on a Saturday (and for me, the...
We got some big news a week or two ago. Really big news. Blackbaud was named one of the top 25 places to work in South Carolina . Looking at the data a little closer, we were one of seven in the "large company" category. In early October, overall...
Friday was a really cool day. Not cool in terms of temperature. South Carolina, along with most of the Southeast is broiling right now, and I can't believe the stores are featuring long pants in their school uniform sales. The kids won't be wearing...
Last month, I shared the exciting news that Blackbaud had forged a philanthropy partnership with the Charleston Battery pro soccer team. As I said then, it's a natural fit for both organizations -- which were both founded by the same man, Tony Bakker...

Happy National Philanthropy Day! Every year, the Association of Fundraising Professionals and its 200+ chapters honor National Philanthropy Day . Chapters around North America (and beyond) host events in their communities, presenting awards to donors...
You've heard me say this before, but one of the best things about working at Blackbaud is being surrounded by so many people who care about giving back. Collectively, we believe in philanthropy. Individually, we decide what form our giving will take...
Fourteen lucky nonprofits in seven cities and two countries each will be receiving a $500 donation in honor of the volunteer service of a Blackbaud employee. We call this program "Reward Your Passion" because it allows employees to do just that...
Every year, the Charleston Regional Business Journal carefully selects and recognizes 40 people under the age of 40 who are make our community such a great place to be. They recognize people from a wide variety of professions, including many who are committed...
I work with great people. Seriously. Every day, I come into work and am surrounded by great people (both in this building and within the larger Blackbaud community). They're interesting, passionate about what they do, and ready to dive in and make...
About a month ago, I introduced you to The Blackbaud Fund, a long-standing philanthropic program that relies on an employee committee to determine which applicants will receive grants. Established in the 1990s, The Blackbaud Fund is near and dear to my...
