Happy Wednesday, Blackbaud Community, 


You have just over two weeks left to earn extra points for participating in our current “Boost your Badges” campaign for the Facilitator and Inquirer badges! You’ll get TRIPLE points for answering and asking questions through August 15th. Each reply is worth 300 points, each question, 600!



This past week, we saw TWO members respond to their 51st questions and earn the level 5 Facilitator badge. That’s a lot of knowledge sharing – congratulations and thanks for your contributions to the Blackbaud Community!

  

 

If you are at level four in each of these badges, be sure to check your private messages as you’ve received some special encouragement from Senior Community Manager Crystal Bruce to get to that next level.






 




SOCIAL SHARING IS BACK



We’re excited to announce that the social share feature in Community has been fixed and we’re re-launching the Amplifier badge for sharing Community content on social media, including blogs, events, and job postings! Start sharing and earn your Amplifier badge! 










WHAT’S NEW IN THE BLACKBAUD MARKETPLACE THIS MONTH?



Blackbaud Marketplace launched in 2020 to make it easier to find apps that empower you to do even more with your Blackbaud solutions. The team has now started a monthly feature highlighting new and updated Marketplace offerings - check it out!
