Blackbaud Unveils Latest Innovation for Corporate Social Impact

Social Good Leaders Gather for the YourCause® from Blackbaud® Corporate Social Impact Summit for Inspiration, Networking, Collaboration and an Exclusive Preview of Upcoming Innovation

Charleston, S.C. (April 9, 2025) — Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the leading provider of software for powering social impact, this week gathered hundreds of social good professionals and corporate leaders at its YourCause® from Blackbaud® Corporate Social Impact Summit in Dallas. Attendees heard from industry experts and received an exclusive preview of product innovation, including how YourCause is integrating AI, transforming the giving process, helping companies unleash generosity, and revolutionizing corporate social impact reporting.

“The 2025 Corporate Social Impact Summit was a resounding success, bringing together leaders and innovators from across the globe to share insights and drive meaningful change,” said Dale Strange, President, Corporate Impact, Blackbaud. “The themes of engagement, innovation, partnership and impact resonated throughout the event, creating an atmosphere of inspiration and action. Together, we are building a brighter, more inclusive future.”

During the event, Blackbaud unveiled the innovation roadmap for YourCause, its corporate social responsibility (CSR) platform for companies that powers employee giving, volunteering, engagement and grantmaking. Recent and upcoming product milestones include:

• Modernizing and Transforming the Giving Experience: Making it easier and faster for companies to engage their employees in giving, and for nonprofits to receive and reconcile funds. With new Expedited Giving functionality, donations can be delivered directly to nonprofits up to 95% faster, and employees can receive receipts directly from the nonprofit, making the process easier than ever and incentivizing employees to engage in matching gifts programs. Expedited Giving will also unlock new payment modalities like recurring credit and debit payments, and other electronic payments. In addition, an integration with Blackbaud’s fundraising solution will make it easier for Blackbaud nonprofit customers to manage incoming donations from YourCause corporate customers.
• Making it Easier to Manage and Engage in Volunteering: Streamlined event management tools and continued mobilization of administrative functionality will make it easier to create volunteer events, and fresh new features like Mobile Check-In are empowering participants with easier ways to engage.
• Streamlining and Enhancing Grants: From reimagining workflows to leveraging emerging technology like AI, YourCause is streamlining and enhancing the work of corporate grantmakers. This includes reducing complexities without reducing powerful and robust workflow capabilities, and infusing AI into form builders to help grantmakers polish and perfect grant application forms to align with their mission.
• Global Expansion: YourCause is expanding into new regions to create inclusive global experiences that enable corporations to do good wherever they do business. From a new partnership with Nacional Monte de Piedad to continued development around platform localization, YourCause is charting the course with industry-leading global features.
• Broader Third-Party Integration: Integrations with partners like True Impact are bringing outcomes data to customers’ fingertips, helping them make informed funding decisions and tell the story of their impact.
• Advanced Analytics and Insights: Blackbaud Impact Edge™ is now generally available, with the Blackbaud Copilot AI assistant built in, enabling practitioners to leverage revolutionary tools designed to transform how corporate social responsibility departments benchmark, track, and share their impact. These tools transition organizations from static reporting to dynamic, real-time intelligence, enabling smarter decision-making, predictive modeling, and strategic planning.

YourCause’s best-in-class customer success, support and training programs ensure companies have the resources they need to make bold impact. Customer success managers help clients learn more about the technology and ensure that their platform strategy is aligned with their program goals. Chat, email, and phone support are available globally, with Spanish language support coming soon. Blackbaud University introduces new training courses regularly, with a curriculum focused on practical application and industry best practices. And customers can engage with their peers through the Blackbaud Community, idea banks, regional workshops, and monthly best-practice webinars.
