As an initiative of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, National Philanthropy Day is about honoring generosity in all its forms. We are proud to stand alongside donors and nonprofits alike as people gather to recognize excellence in their own communities today.

On November 11, we will celebrate Veterans Day in the US and Remembrance Day in Australia, Canada, and the UK. The words of American author, playwright, and producer Sidney Sheldon clearly depict the sentiment of why we observe the day. “My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place — police, firefighters, and members of our armed forces.” These words remind us how important it is to reflect on the service and sacrifice so many veterans have made for their countries.

It may be an understatement to say that 2020 has been a year of change for all of us. Through all this change, we’ve seen firsthand how resilient and creative social good organizations can be. At Blackbaud, we are focused on being your long-term partner that can help you rethink change and turn it into an opportunity to make a greater impact.

Throughout the month of October, Blackbaud will celebrate Black History Month with our colleagues in the United Kingdom.

bbcon 2020 Virtual is less than two weeks away! bbcon, the tech conference for a better world, is a global, virtual gathering that will unite the social good community on October 6–8.

Last year, at bbcon 2019, we announced that the Blackbaud Labs team was launching a new initiative to expand our ecosystem of good with innovative tech startups—the Blackbaud Social Good Startup Challenge.

This year underscored the critical role of the social good community and also challenged every organization in unique ways. But history (and data) prove that giving is resilient, that generosity perseveres.

To help the social good community turn this data into actionable insights, the Blackbaud Institute is launching a webinar series, which will dive deep into the results for each social good sector and provide analysis into what these numbers mean now and for the future.

At Blackbaud, we join our colleagues and customers around the world in recognizing Pride Month.

Now more than ever, the topic of EQUALITY needs a strong, unified voice and strong, unified action in the United States and around the world. This transcends politics. This is about fundamental human rights and the values that our company, Blackbaud, holds so closely.

While the world is social distancing, you’re still social differencing™.

Because of the impacts of COVID-19, we are making bbcon 2020 Virtual FREE for all to attend October 6-8!
