Announcing the 2024 Blackbaud Impact Award Finalists!

Our customers—like you—are doing amazing work every day.

We received nominations from Blackbaud customers around the globe and thank each one who took the time to share their stories and work with us; it was truly inspiring to read all the submissions.
