The Blackbaud Institute's FREE SDG Connector Tool is here -- your guide to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how your organization plays a role!

WHAT IS IT?
The United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outline a framework and call to action to end world poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and well-being for all its people. As part of the important work toward achieving these goals, the Blackbaud Institute—along with the support of their partners, Candid and the Council on Foundations—today published the SDG Connector. With this tool, organizations of all types can more easily tie their mission with the SDGs and further align funding, improve measurement, and increase impact.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Grantmakers and seekers can use the free tool to:
  • Use NTEE, ICNPO, or NAIC codes to align their mission and strategies with the SDGs.
  • Better instruct and identify strategic partners based on how they align.
  • Measure progress towards these goals using a standard framework provided by the SDG targets and indicators.
  • Clearly illustrate their impact in their reporting and storytelling.
  • Create strategic programming that enables better outcomes and moves the needle in the global Ecosystem of Good®.
  • Be a part of a broader community with uniform benchmarks, shared best practices, and a collective vision.

Did you know?...

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries--developed and developing--in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
