Blackbaud, the world's leading provider of software for powering social impact, has announced the general availability of a new expansive feature for Blackbaud TeamRaiser® in the U.S. and Canada. Good Move™ is designed to help charitable organizations energize their constituents and raise more with a mobile-first gamified activity-tracking and peer-to-peer fundraising experience. This new feature leverages Kilter acquired by Blackbaud in late 2022.
"Blackbaud is proud to launch this new opportunity for more powerful engagement and fundraising among our customers and their communities," said Graeme Port, senior director of product management for Peer-To-Peer at Blackbaud. "Offering new ways to attract participants and donors will expand the reach and mission of fueling social impact."
TeamRaiser is a leading peer-to-peer fundraising event software for nonprofits, and with the addition of Good Move, will deliver easy-to-use fundraising experiences with the ability to track fundraising and activity goals on real-time leaderboards.
Featuring a variety of activity-tracking capabilities (syncing fitness devices, checking into gyms/studios, manual entry tiles) and customizable event types (mindful minutes, read-a-thons, traditional walk/runs, pickleball tournaments, hiking challenges, etc.), TeamRaiser customers can take their fundraisers to the next level and build events that truly resonate with their supporter base for greater returns.
"We are grateful for Blackbaud being a valuable partner since 2013 as we've grown together to further our missions," said Stephen Holley, co-founder, president and CEO of Carry The Load and Veteran U.S. Navy SEAL. "Core to our mission at Carry The Load, hundreds of thousands of volunteers have walked millions of miles to honor and remember military service members and first responders who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Launching the Good Move application will expand our reach as a nonprofit and ultimately make a greater impact for those we serve."
The Good Move application is now available to all TeamRaiser customers at no additional cost and can be added to any existing campaign or used to create an entirely new one to further engage constituents.
