Blackbaud Launches Expedited Giving+ to Deliver Corporate Donations to Nonprofits in Minutes

Quick Summary

Blackbaud is revolutionizing corporate social responsibility by launching Expedited Giving+, a solution that delivers employee donations to nonprofits in as little as 10 minutes. This innovation leverages Blackbaud Integrated Payments to bypass traditional 30-to-90-day disbursement cycles, ensuring critical social impact funding reaches organizations at the speed of need.

How Does Expedited Giving+ Solve Funding Delays?

Expedited Giving+ eliminates the traditional friction found in corporate philanthropy by creating a direct-to-nonprofit connection. By integrating the YourCause CSR suite with Blackbaud Integrated Payments, the platform enables near real-time disbursements that are 90% faster than the industry average. Key features include:

• 10-minute delivery of digital donations from employees to nonprofits.
• Automated tax receipts issued directly from the nonprofit to the donor.
• Transparent bank statements that clearly reflect the recipient organization.

This system ensures that smaller nonprofit organizations, which often face the most significant economic pressure, can access liquid capital immediately rather than waiting months for traditional check processing.

What Results Has the Blackbaud Verified Network Delivered?

The Blackbaud Verified Network serves as the backbone for this high-speed ecosystem, currently connecting 100,000 nonprofits to corporate donors. By utilizing ACH digital disbursement, the network has already reduced administrative burdens for organizations across the social impact sector. With over 10 million employees currently using YourCause, the scale of this connected data infrastructure allows for:

• 90% faster delivery compared to the 30-90+ day industry standard.
• Reduced manual processing for nonprofit administrative teams.
• AI-powered innovation that streamlines the exchange of complex philanthropic data.

How Can Nonprofits Access These New Capabilities?

Nonprofit organizations can immediately begin the process by claiming their free charity profile on the Blackbaud Verified Network. Once registered for ACH payments, they become eligible for standard Expedited Giving. To unlock the 10-minute disbursement speed of Expedited Giving+, organizations must also utilize Blackbaud Integrated Payments. This unified payment solution ensures that funds originated through corporate employee engagement programs flow directly into the nonprofit’s existing financial workflow, maximizing operational efficiency and donor confidence.

FF NEWS TAKE:
