Authority Badges
Identify your area of expertise in the Community and in your product(s).

Community Icon
(150,000+ points) You have reached the peak. Take a deep breathe, relax, and revel in the work you've done to make the Blackbaud Community a helpful place for all of its members. Beyonce is totally fine with sharing the title of "Icon" with someone as terrific as you!

Community Hero
(100,000-150,000 points) You've earned enough points in Community to reach hero status! No radioactive spiders for you, you achieved this goal by being present, helpful, and an invaluable member of the Community.

Community Legend
(50,000-100,000 points) You are now the stuff of legends. King Arthur would bow to you in recognition of all of your hard work in this Community. You've earned a staggering 50,000+ points and we thank you for being a legend.

Community Leader
(20,001-50,000 points)What is cooler than riding a unicorn down a mountain into a bathtub of pizza? YOU! Look at you – already scaling the leaderboard, inspiring fellow community members, and so much more. Welcome to the elite, you certainly deserve it!

Community Visionary
(16,001-20,000 points) It takes a Community warrior with a heart full of perseverance, a strong will, and a desire to succeed to reach Visionary. It's the Community equivalent of climbing to the top of a mountain, riding a unicorn down the other side and straight into a bathtub full of pizza. Yes, it is THAT epic.

Community Master
(6,501-16,000 points) You have definitely mastered the Blackbaud Community at this level. The master level is strictly for magical wizards and you have cast a level 4 charm spell on us all.

Community Expert
(2,001-6,500 points) We've done the math and you've taken a LOT of actions to get to 2,001 points. You've earned this expert badge! We see bbcon sessions in your future.

Community Strategist
(501-2,000 points) You are plowing through questions, chatting up a storm, and dare we say becoming a very popular Community member.

Community Novice
(200-500 points) You are learning the ropes. Keep climbing!

Community Rookie
