Our Priorities
Fueling Social
Impact
Across the nonprofit and education sectors, at companies committed to social responsibility, and through the efforts of individual change makers, Blackbaud’s software enables users to transform their communities and the world. Here’s how they’re taking action.
Individual Change Makers
Individual change agents are at the core of any cause or movement—they are the donors, the volunteers, and the advocates. JustGiving, Blackbaud’s social fundraising platform, enabled these change agents to unleash amazing generosity in 2023:
- 1 million+ fundraising pages created on JustGiving
- 22,100 nonprofit organizations maximizing their impact through donations on JustGiving
- 1,600 organizations added to the platform and an additional $2 million processed in 2023 vs. 2022
Education
Education is a powerful vehicle for social impact. Schools and universities are accelerating their impact with Blackbaud’s essential solutions for fundraising, tuition, scholarship management, education management, and critical skills education.
Key 2023 stats:
- 3.2 million students participated in critical skills education through EVERFI from Blackbaud
- 8.8 million hours of learning for K–12 students across the globe
