CHARLESTON, S.C., April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the world's leading
cloud software company powering social good, today announced
updates to its YourCause® suite, which will help
companies drive more social impact globally. YourCause, part of
Blackbaud's Cloud Solution for Companies, helps
high-impact organizations connect profit to purpose by expanding
and accelerating employee giving, volunteering, grantmaking and
fundraising.
Through a new in-market partnership, YourCause now integrates
with GlobalGiving Atlas, offering companies access to the most
complete and trusted repository of nonprofits, charities and NGOs
in the world.
With this addition, Blackbaud now has the largest charity
database to connect companies to opportunities for employee
volunteering and giving. Other global capability additions for
YourCause include making tools available in 24 languages for
company and charity users; adding global reporting capabilities;
and launching new regional relationships that will increase local
offerings beyond the U.S., U.K., Canada and India.
"Blackbaud's vision is to power an Ecosystem of Good®
that builds a better world," said Brandon
Sharrett, president and general manager, Corporate
Solutions, Blackbaud. "One out of three Fortune 500 companies uses
our technology to power their employee giving and volunteering
programs, so the importance of global functionality is paramount.
We're thrilled to work with GlobalGiving to help companies scale
their social impact around the globe."
"GlobalGiving is proud to have Blackbaud as its first in-market
global partner for Atlas," said Alix
Guerrier, GlobalGiving CEO. "This is a monumental win for
global philanthropy, as our relationship with Blackbaud means many
more people will be able to tap into the incredible work of
nonprofits around the world."
Strong corporate social responsibility programs help companies
cultivate employee engagement, strengthen community relationships
and boost customer and investor confidence. During the pandemic,
corporations offering COVID-19 fundraising opportunities have
experienced an employee engagement level that's 15 times
higher than average. Research shows that consumers are more
likely to purchase from, trust and recommend companies that
demonstrate strong purpose, and 76% of investors agree that a
company's efforts to help improve society and the environment
contribute to a positive return on investment.
As environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing becomes
increasingly important, companies can rely on YourCause to extend
their corporate social responsibility initiatives and strengthen
corporate philanthropy. Learn more about YourCause and the
