Blackbaud Recognized with TrustRadius Tech Cares Award for the Fifth Consecutive Year
We’re proud to share that Blackbaud has once again been honored with the TrustRadius Tech Cares Award, marking the fifth consecutive year the company has received this recognition for its commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and purpose-driven business practices. TrustRadius recognizes B2B technology companies that put people, the planet, and ethics at the center of how they operate, with 108 companies making this year’s list.
“At Blackbaud, our purpose is to power social impact through technology, and that purpose extends beyond our products to how we support our people, customers and communities around the world,” said Margaret “Maggie” Driscoll, chief people and culture officer, Blackbaud. “Being recognized with the TrustRadius Tech Cares Award for the fifth year in a row reflects the passion of our employees and our ongoing commitment to creating meaningful impact through volunteerism, sustainability, workforce development and responsible AI innovation.”
To qualify for the Tech Cares Award, companies must demonstrate impactful CSR initiatives in areas such as volunteerism, charitable giving, community impact, employee well-being, and environmental sustainability.
Blackbaud’s CSR efforts are centered around four priority areas: People and Culture, Fueling Social Impact, Environmental Sustainability, and Governance and Data Responsibility.
