New Year, New Friends!

Crystal Bruce

2017 is in full swing! It's time to kick off the new year with new friends. The Blackbaud Community is a great place to start building professional connections. Need a little incentive??.. Read on!We are kicking off 2017 with a new giveaway. New Year, New Friends! 


Every friend request you send in the Blackbaud Community from now until February 27th counts as an entry to win a $50 Amazon gift card or $50 donation to the nonprofit of your choice.

For example: you send 25 friend requests. That's 25 entries!


Bonus: you can also earn your Connector badges by making new connections. Can you level up to 5? Challenge!

You can always keep track of our top Community users right on the front page of community (community.blackbaud.com) - top users make great friends!




You can also friend all of the Blackbaud Community Managers. We're happy to have you as our friend!

Please stop spamming my email with this. I use a Blackbaud product, but so far found little useful in these community notification.

That's too bad, Sally, it's a great community!



You'll find a Notification Settings and an Unsubscribe link at the bottom of the emails that'll turn them off for you.

Hey - the deadline's my birthday, so I felt that was a sign to send a shout out that I'm always looking to connect with new friends through the community. I specifically try to hunt down people who are also in Canada with health-related charities with dual-purpose roles like mine - my role is partly "support" and partly "revenue generating", so it's always interesting to speak to others who cross the lines, as well, so hoping to receive some new Friend invites!
