How To Earn Points In Community
Published
Did you know every time you take actions in the Blackbaud Community, you are earning points? As the points rack up you get badges for your actions and your community rank.

I’m just a new member here please ?
How do you earn an Event Badge? I have RSVP to Events and attended Events, but I haven't seen this badge reached yet. Thanks
Barbara, I would check with the Community Manager for your products to confirm that your badge(s) can be updated.
Update 6/15/22: The points for the Boost your Badges aren't reflected here, but they are 300 for a reply and 600 for a question!
Why are the points here separate from the challenges?
Hey perhaps this points/activity table should be updated for 2021 points awards. It's out of date. :)
How much you use the product (actions taken in your purchased products) should count, not just dorking around with profiles and message boards. ?
@Rebecca Greer trying to find a way to incorporate Community points from within the product is an interesting idea to add to our points board. We'll have to think on this one.
If the point amounts change and the points required go up, do those with the badge earned with the previous point system keep the badge or do they need to re-earn it?
I have the link but it won't update - just says that I need to make a selection but the box is already selected.
Usually those links to claim your certification badges are included in the congratulatory email they send you. If they were not, or you no longer have that email, you can contact Blackbaud University at traininghelp@blackbaud.com and they will send you the link.
Nancy Kierstead, Congratulations on being a 2019 K-12 Conference Speaker. To claim your badge: On the main navigation > click on conferences> K-12 Conference> K-12 Speakers. Please private message me if you have further questions.
Hope this is helpful!
