Blackbaud launches Innovation Partnership with Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose

February 21, 2020

Blackbaud announces a new Innovation Partnership with Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose (CECP) to support companies’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts. This first-of-its-kind partnership will create opportunities for Blackbaud customers and CECP-affiliated companies to be more effective with their CSR measurement data through streamlined reporting and knowledge sharing.

“At Blackbaud, we believe the world will be a better place when good takes over, which is a higher purpose echoed by CECP’s own mission. We deeply value our relationship with CECP, as an affiliated company, and are excited to take this next step to partner to drive even more impact for social good,” said Mike Gianoni, president and CEO, Blackbaud. “When like-minded organizations come together like this to further empower CSR initiatives through technology, the results can be incredibly powerful. We’re proud to support CECP and our fellow companies with this new functionality, which will no doubt create even more impact for social good.”

To launch the partnership, Blackbaud customers utilizing YourCause solutions now have access to a CECP Giving in Numbers report enabling them to quickly and easily pull their companies’ data for the Giving in Numbers survey, saving time that can be spent on their social impact programs, as well as improving the overall data health of the submissions. Streamlined data extractions ensure improved business case and strategy benchmarking, trends and insights for leaders in all sectors. Additionally, non-CECP companies that utilize YourCause solutions to power their CSR efforts will be able to access these same reports. This new functionality will provide CSR leaders with unprecedented resources and access to industry data, which will help strengthen and accelerate their efforts.

CECP is a movement of more than 200 of the world’s largest companies that represent $6.6 trillion in revenues, $21.2 billion in social investment, 14 million employees, 23 million hours of employee engagement and $15 trillion in assets under management.
