“Give to Gain”—Celebrating International Women’s Day!

Jessica McRae · March 5

Hi Blackbaud Community!

Each year on March 8, International Women’s Day recognizes the social, economic, and cultural achievements of women around the world. Blackbaud is proud to join the global community to commemorate this year’s global theme—Give to Gain—highlighting the power of generosity and the ways intentional acts of support can create opportunities that multiply across our communities.

To celebrate, we’re focusing on personal reflection, professional growth, and opportunities to support others. We shared this International Women’s Day list below with our employees and asked them to reflect on meaningful ways they can continue uplifting others in their daily routines. Keep the list going and, in the comments below, add more ways your team is already doing this or would like to start.

At Blackbaud, we believe deeply in the value of collective impact. When organizations, individuals, and allies give, they fuel momentum that helps women everywhere thrive and we’re proud to partner with our customers every day to advance this shared purpose. As the Give to Gain theme reminds us, “giving is not a subtraction but intentional multiplication: when women thrive, we all rise.”
