Like so many industries, arts and cultural organizations are experiencing a rapid digital transformation. Consumer expectations are changing quickly – it’s no longer a novelty to have an app or to incorporate technology as part of the in-person experience. Add to that the evolving COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation which is causing many arts and cultural organizations to shift their operations online.

During this unprecedented time, social good organizations, like nearly all industries globally, are adjusting their strategies and day-to-day operations for the impacts of COVID-19. Our top priorities at Blackbaud are ensuring the safety of our employees and their families and supporting our customers in their missions, which for many are especially critical during this time.

First and foremost—our thoughts are with you, your families, and everyone throughout the world who has been impacted by COVID-19. As your organization begins navigating through this rapidly changing situation, please know your success continues to be our top priority. Our global team is committed to you and your mission.

We would like to express our appreciation for the strength, compassion, and preparedness of our social good customers, partners, and organizations who are providing aid during this time.
