Blackbaud selects six participants for its Social Good Start-up Program
The initiative is focused on start-ups developing solutions that either extend or complement Blackbaud’s solutions to maximize the impact for nonprofits, schools, and companies focused on social responsibility.
Blackbaud, the Charleston, SC-based provider of software for powering social impact, has announced the newest cohort of participants in its Social Good Start-up Program. It is a tech accelerator designed to support early stage software companies focused on solving problems that matter to the social impact community.
The July 2024 cohort will support start-ups focused on developing solutions that either extend or complement Blackbaud’s solutions in order to maximize impact for nonprofits, schools, and companies focused on social responsibility.
“The Social Good Start-up Program allows us to work with cutting edge start-ups in the social impact space to accelerate the speed and variety of innovation that our customers receive, on top of delivering the essential software and capabilities that Blackbaud is known for,” said Jerry Needel, Vice President and Chief of Innovation at Blackbaud. “We’re excited to see what the companies in this cohort can bring to the table to benefit Blackbaud customers who are out there making a difference in the world every day.”
The six companies are:
- Arbor, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered storytelling platform that partners with nonprofits to create and share their impact stories on video and beyond.
- Chat2Impact, a digital assistant that enables charities to benefit from chatbot technology quickly and cost effectively. It is full of useful functionality including donations, event and volunteering registrations, and answering FAQs.
- Giving Compass helps impact-driven donors transform their generosity into meaningful change for communities and society. As a premier donor education platform, Giving Compass supports individuals and businesses in every stage of the generosity journey.

- LifeWeb 360 is a digital space for collecting and sharing memories of a loved one, including stories, photos, and video links. Schools and associations can create branded sites with tribute pages for each deceased member so everyone can share memories and photos celebrating their life.
- Ribon helps companies turn their corporate donations into an employee engagement machine. Recognized by the Gates Foundation as one of the world’s greatest innovations, Ribon transforms any company’s donation into donation tickets for their employees, allowing them to give to company-supported causes as often as weekly.
- Your Mission Possible is a consulting firm that brings technology to the nonprofit fundraising sector and empowers staff to spend more time in the community and less time behind the computer screen.
