Increase revenue, drive efficiency, and deepen engagement with higher education fundraising software solutions that connect your entire campus.

Public support for higher education is eroding. Long-term, stable funding sources are dwindling. Alumni communities are more dispersed now than ever before, and alumni and campus communities have new and sophisticated expectations. Amid challenges like these, you need a partner with the commitment, expertise, and proven ability to help you not just respond to the changing landscape but thrive in it.

Blackbaud's purpose-built solutions for higher education enable your institution to:

  • Advance your institution with increased revenue
  • Deepen alumni engagement and enhance community outreach
  • Connect departments and students, saving time and effort and driving increased outcomes
  • Improve the student and alumni experience through high-impact life cycle management

With unmatched higher education software solutions spanning across campus, unparalleled analytics, and undisputed expertise, no other partner can help you ensure a thriving institution today and in the future like Blackbaud.

“We have more people than ever before all feeding into and working from the same data. Different departments are collaborating in ways they haven’t before, and because of this we now have one single source of data. We’re even able to securely share information between departments so that only relevant people can see certain information, which means we are not compromising data protection in any way.”
