On October 6, 2025, Blackbaud announced at its bbcon 2025 conference a sweeping expansion of its AI portfolio, introducing more than 70 embedded, sector‑specific AI capabilities across its product lines. The company highlighted the launch of its new Agents for Good™ suite, which includes a Development Agent that autonomously identifies and nurtures donors beyond a customer’s current capacity, thereby unlocking new revenue opportunities for nonprofit and education clients.
Blackbaud also announced the formation of an AI Coalition for Social Impact, a partnership with industry leaders such as Databricks, OneTrust, and the Association of Fundraising Professionals. The coalition will offer a free, platform‑agnostic AI certification course designed to build AI literacy and responsible‑AI practices within the social‑impact sector. This initiative positions Blackbaud as a thought leader and could accelerate adoption of its AI tools among its customer base.
The announcement underscores Blackbaud’s strategic shift toward embedding AI directly into its core solutions, moving beyond generic tools to deliver purpose‑built, high‑impact features. By integrating AI into fundraising, finance, corporate impact, and education management, Blackbaud aims to increase customer efficiency, reduce operational complexity, and create new monetizable services. The launch is expected to strengthen Blackbaud’s competitive moat and drive future revenue growth in its niche market.
