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...
Meet Gilman Sullivan...typical Blackbaud employee. By typical, I mean interesting, smart, and engaged in helping nonprofits be successful. Your Passion. Our Purpose. The tagline speaks to him, both professionally and personally, like it speaks to so many...
....A guest post by Sally Ehrenfried, community relations manager Back in February, I introduced you to Blackbaud's Product Management team and told you about their charge against hunger. After a visit to the Lowcountry Food Bank , the team was determined...
Remember those little cottonball-sized " fuzzies "" The ones with the little feet that doubled as stickers, the antennas and the plastic eyes? The ones that seemed to be all over the place in, oh, the late 1970s and early 1980s? They're...
Happy New Year! So, I'm a little late. Sorry about that. I always have the best intentions, the first week of the year, to jump right on things. I promise you that I DID that this year. It just turns out that I didn't get to ALL the things I wanted...
Last night, I joined my Blackbaud colleagues from around the world to celebrate an annual tradition...the Blackbaud toy drive. In the end, members of the Blackbaud family located in our nine offices PLUS all those folks who work out of their homes, donated...

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...
What a win! This past Saturday, at Blackbaud Stadium, the Charleston Battery won big time. The well-loved home team beat its rival, the Richmond Kickers , 2-1 to secure the 2010 USL-2 Championship title. I heard it was an intense game from start-to-finish...
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...
There's been a lot of talk lately about Bill and Melinda Gates' and Warren Buffett's push to encourage their fellow billionaires to give 50% of their net worth to philanthropy - during their lives or through their estate plans. I've just...
I'm lucky. Really lucky, in fact. Every day I wake up knowing that, when I step outside, I will take my place in a vibrant community. A community that has its fare share of issues, for sure (and, right now, pollin). But one where people want to make...
