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...
"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...
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...
It's time again to announce the latest recipients of Blackbaud's quarterly Reward Your Passion grants. As a reminder, these grants -- valued at $500 (or the equivalent for organizations outside of the U.S.) -- are given to nonprofits where employees...
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...
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...
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...
Late last week, Blackbaud announced a new partnership with the Charleston Battery pro scocer team, a partnership that I think is pretty cool. I guess I should issue a disclaimer upfront that I'm a HUGE soccer fan, a former player and referee, and...
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...
