Acquisition Extends Blackbaud’s Offerings for Peer-to-Peer Fundraising to Drive More Charitable Giving

We are honored to share exciting news that promises to favorably impact the social good community. Today, as part of our commitment to innovation, we are pleased to announce that JustGiving™ is now part of Blackbaud. United Kingdom-based JustGiving has played a powerful role in the growth of peer-to-peer fundraising with its online social giving platform.

What this Means

JustGiving is a leader in peer-to-peer giving, with people in 164 countries raising over $4.5 billion for good causes through its online platform since 2001. This acquisition will expand the peer-to-peer fundraising capabilities Blackbaud offers today through TeamRaiser® and everydayhero™, which are used by leading nonprofit organizations to connect their causes to the individuals who support them. The acquisition will also add a new personal crowdfunding capability (individuals raising funds for other individuals) that can be rolled out in the U.S. and elsewhere, as well as position Blackbaud to better serve the U.K. market, where it has operated for more than two decades, and where JustGiving is a fundraising leader.

Now that the acquisition is complete, Blackbaud will now be able to begin the process of integrating with JustGiving. We are committed to coming together in a way that expands functionality and enables customers to access the very best of what both Blackbaud and JustGiving have to offer. Adding JustGiving to the Blackbaud family will accelerate our ability to innovate across the peer-to-peer giving spectrum. As a matter of fact, through this acquisition, Blackbaud has doubled its ongoing investment in peer-to-peer fundraising capabilities.

We are already hard at work strategizing on ways we can make the experience for customers even better. Stay tuned for more detailed information on plans in the coming weeks!

Blackbaud and JustGiving are better together. Together with you, we can grow the world’s giving and help drive new ways to connect people with causes and each other.
