Blackbaud Celebrates Black History Month In North America

Jessica McRae

Like many of you, we've already kicked off our celebration of Black History Month and a special treat this year, has been chatting with Blackbaud Community Members to learn about what you all are doing to celebrate!


Check out this blog to find out how your peers are celebrating Black History Month in 2022.For many around the US and Canada, February marks the beginning of Black History Month. It’s a time to remember the perseverance and courage demonstrated by black legends, leaders, and civil rights activists from all periods of US and Canadian history. It’s also a time to highlight the achievements and contributions that African Americans and Black Canadians have made to positively impact their countries for good. These indelible impacts continue to be recognized today in several professional fields, including law, politics, science, sports, entertainment, healthcare, and more.

What Blackbaud is doing to Celebrate

In honor of Black History Month, Blackbaud will be sharing several engagement opportunities for employees throughout the month including, hosting special guest speakers, providing a unique volunteer opportunity with Goodera to record children’s audiobooks featuring black protagonists—designed to inspire the imagination of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) children, and several other employee-led activities, curated to inform and engage employees at all levels of our company.


We are looking forward to celebrating Black History Month with our colleagues and with each of you.

We love seeing and reading about YOUR celebrations!
