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...
I had a great opportunity last week to talk about one of my favorite subjects - service. The topic was "leadership through service," which is something I think is pretty important. How can you divide the two? What leader doesn't serve in...
September 11th. It's a date we won't forget and, often, don't like to think about. The memories aren't just bad, they're almost unimaginable. Almost...but not completely...since we've become all too familiar with the mark that...
I'm a little behind the times, I know. But I'm totally ok admitting it. Although Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits hit the shelves two years ago, I only recently made it a priority to pick up the book. I have no good...
Like so many of you, I just returned from summer vacation, a trip to the cooler climes with my husband and two kids. In our case, the trip took us to mid-coast Maine where, in the early 1960s, my grandparents built a small cottage on a lake (think On...
One of the ways I give back to the community is by serving on the board of directors of the SC Governor's School for Science and Math (GSSM). GSSM is important to the state -- and to Blackbaud -- because it invests in the kids who will one day (soon...
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...
I love the people I work with. I know, I've said this before. But it's true. We have great people. Whether they're located at our HQ in Charleston, one of our many offices throughout the US, one of our overseas operations...or out of their...
"We have to have a mission. We have to have a goal. And we have to have a purpose. If we put our heads and hearts together, we can make a difference." So said Enid Borden, CEO of the Meals on Wheels Association of America, speaking this morning...
So, we're a little late in celebrating National Volunteer Week (it actually took place at the end of April), but better late than never. For those of you who follow this blog, you already know that we were busy with Green Week and our first-ever Green...
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...
It's National Volunteer Week , so before I go any further, I want to say thank you to all my friends and colleagues for everything they do to serve others. This is your week, so enjoy it. Yep, April 19-25th is THE week -- as established by the Points...
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...
