Watch the Future of Innovation LIVE at Our Upcoming Social Good Startup Showcase!

At Blackbaud, we recognize the value of constant innovation. Our Social Good Startup Program Showcase on September 11 offers the opportunity to explore cutting-edge solutions that can amplify your organization’s mission. Whether you watch the virtual livestream or attend in-person in Charleston, SC, you’ll discover new tools that can enhance your use of Blackbaud products and increase your efficiency.   

On September 11, 2025, 2:00-4:00pm ET, nine startups from our Social Good Startup Program’s 2025 Cohort will take the stage. Each one tackles the pressing needs of social impact organizations with tools designed to support critical processes—challenges your organization may face today.  

The showcase is your chance to hear their pitches, presented to a panel of judges from Blackbaud’s executive leadership team. Register for free to see these changemakers live! 

Who knows, you might uncover the solution that can help you unlock your organization’s full potential!  

You Get a Say in the Winners! 

The startups are vying for the Judge’s Choice and the People’s Choice Awards. Our panel of Blackbaud judges—including Catherine Lacour, Chief Marketing Officer; Todd Lant, Chief Customer Officer; and Kevin McDearis, Chief Technology Officer—will select the startup they believe offers the most impactful service as the winner of the Judge’s Choice award.  

We depend on you, however, for the People’s Choice Award! Anyone who attends the showcase in-person, watches the livestream, or watches the recording on-demand will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite startups.  

Voting closes October 7, and the winners will be announced at bbcon! Each winner will receive a dedicated partner webinar spot, a bbcon 2026 sponsorship, and executive coaching to help further their business goals.
