Blackbaud builds cloud software for the social impact economy, with products used by nonprofits, schools, foundations, and corporate social responsibility teams to raise funds, manage grants, run finance operations, and administer education workflows. Its platform combines subscription software with transaction-based payment services, so revenue comes from both recurring software access and the volume of donations, tuition, and other payments processed through its systems. The company has broadened beyond fundraising into financial management, grantmaking, scholarship administration, student information, and learning management, creating a more integrated operating system for mission-driven organizations. Blackbaud is also pushing AI across its products and internal operations to improve workflow automation, customer outcomes, and operating efficiency.
