In the weeks since the crisis came to the forefront, Blackbaud customers have creatively pivoted to switch in-person events to virtual fundraisers, established virtual volunteering options for employees, galvanized lobbying efforts for legislation to protect at-risk patient populations and created an array of COVID-19 funds and grant opportunities. K–12 schools are swiftly moving classes online as they’ve been forced to shut their doors. Religious organizations are providing online resources while coordinating support, given the increased need for offerings. Zoos, aquariums and other cultural organizations, which have lost revenue from in-person attendance, have graciously provided content for all to enjoy online, while reminding of ways to donate toward their continued operating costs.
“Our customers have always inspired us, but the levels they are rising to during this pandemic are truly extraordinary,” said Blackbaud President and CEO Mike Gianoni. “In the face of adversity and the incredible challenges brought on by COVID-19, they are creating innovative solutions and using technology in new ways to contribute to the ecosystem of good™. We are proud to stand with our customers and support them with critical technology so they can continue focusing on their missions during this time of global crisis.”
