Blackbaud Unveils Expansive Vision to Accelerate AI-Fueled Impact for Purpose-Driven Organizations - Seite 2

In July 2023, Blackbaud is launching a cohort of its accelerator program dedicated specifically to AI startups, now open for enrollment.

"Blackbaud's tech accelerator initiative allowed us to refine our AI capabilities, providing feedback on the most powerful use cases for the social impact sector," said Nick Fitz, CEO of Momentum, the winner of Blackbaud's 2022 Startup Showcase.

This new wave of innovation builds on Blackbaud's proven history of delivering results through data intelligence and AI. In 2001, Blackbaud developed its first data intelligence product and has supported thousands of customer organizations including many of today's leading and largest nonprofit organizations, universities, healthcare foundations, major museums and more with predictive modeling services within the last decade. Blackbaud continues to modernize its data intelligence offerings, including the announcement in 2022 of Prospect Insights, a modern AI-powered service designed to provide actionable insights for major giving. Grand Canyon Conservancy, a Prospect Insights customer, reports that Prospect Insights has helped them identify the correct constituents to place into gift officer portfolios. They also use the snapshot of wealth and giving data within Prospect Insights to make more educated asks of their constituents.

"Blackbaud has become the operating system for organizations that improve the world," said Sudip Datta, chief product officer, Blackbaud. "Our investment into AI over the past decade has infused intelligence into our systems of record, and our new investments into Generative AI will now accelerate the ability for our social impact customers to act on that intelligence."

Blackbaud will provide regular updates on how it delivers this strategy through upcoming announcements and webinars, at its annual conference, bbcon, in October 2023, and its product update briefing series in November 2023.
