Blackbaud

Blackbaud builds software for organisations whose business is doing good. The company describes itself as the leading software provider dedicated exclusively to social impact, supplying fundraising tools, nonprofit financial management, digital giving platforms, grantmaking and corporate social responsibility software, and education management systems. Its products serve nonprofits, schools, foundations and companies running philanthropy programmes.

The scale of that activity is considerable. Millions of users in more than 100 countries work with Blackbaud systems, and over $100 billion is raised, granted or invested annually through the platform. The company employs nearly 3,000 people worldwide. Technical work spans CRM software, fundraising and financial management systems, and artificial intelligence applied to social-good use cases; the team is also building next-generation nonprofit CRM tools.

For engineers and other technical staff, the notable features of the organisation are its remote-first posture and its focus on outcomes rather than presence in an office. Blackbaud adopted digital-first ways of working before circumstances made them common, and it offers flexibility on where work is done. The company frames its culture around a shared mission to support those changing the world, and values expertise, innovation and a genuine connection to the aims of its customers.
