Off The Grid Sign Ups Are Open!
Published
Calling all Blackbaud Customers!
It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in Off the Grid, Blackbaud’s annual hackathon event, being held from July 25-27, 2018. As a customer representative, you have the opportunity to collaborate with a team on a project that could end up solving problems for customers like you. And if your team is one of the three finalists, you win a free trip to bbcon 2018!
If you are interested in working with a team for this event, please fill out this brief survey and we will reach out directly to coordinate participation details with you.
How can I help?
Connecting interested customers with teams is essential to making sure we’re creating solutions that will benefit you. We will pair you with a team prior to the event itself so you can decide together the best way for you to be involved. Generally speaking, we are looking to you to provide valuable input and feedback along the way, potentially test what your team is working on, and share why you believe your team’s project will be valuable.
Our teams will help prepare you to work remotely (or possibly onsite if you’re local to the team) during the event.
What do else do I need to know?
Time commitment: in addition to working with your team during the event, you may want to be available for your team’s presentation which will be scheduled sometime between 11am-2:30 pm on the 27th. If you are a finalist, there will be a presentation at a yet-to-be-scheduled time the following Monday the 30th or Tuesday the 31st.

Please keep in mind:
- All projects and content are CONFIDENTIAL to Blackbaud. Because this is an internal event and we want to keep our unveiling of OTG at bbcon a surprise, we ask that you not publicly disclose details – so you’ll need to keep any project details off social media.
- There is no guarantee that your team’s project will end up in our products and/or solutions.
- Other than the joy of teamwork as well as global visibility across Blackbaud and potentially beyond, you will not be compensated for your input on the project. If the idea ends up going into production, you will not be paid for your involvement.
- You are welcome to, but not expected to work the full 48 hours of the OTG event. You and your team can decide together on the scope of the role you would like to have.
