Attention #AFPFC Attendees: It’s Time to Join the #Giveolution

We couldn’t be more excited about where the global philanthropic community is headed. This industry is changing faster than ever before.

At Blackbaud, we’re calling this change the Giveolution.

It’s a movement that’s advancing the entire giving industry and the community that supports it. From the game-changing NXT solution line to everydayhero and MicroEdge, we’re powering the Giveolution by taking technology innovations and applying them in smart ways to meet the changing needs of this unique space.

And we’re expanding the Giveolution by connecting the giving community like no one else can through a global network of insight, expertise, and support.

Partnering to power your mission forward

Our partnership with AFP is just one example of how we’re educating and empowering Giveolutionaries like you to seize the next era of fundraising, discover new opportunities, and multiply your goodness.

In fact, we’re literally multiplying your goodness!

Make your 2015 BE the CAUSE gift on March 29, 30 or 31 and we’ll donate $10 per donor (for the first 500 donors) and it counts toward your chapter’s campaign goal! Visit the AFP or Blackbaud booth for more details.

As the Presenting sponsor at AFP’s International Fundraising Conference, we’re committed to supporting your thirst for knowledge and arming you with valuable insights, best practices and innovative software and services to power your missions forward.
