🎙️ New podcast episode!

What if philanthropy wasn't driven by a select few donors, but by millions of people making an impact together?

That's one of the topics Catherine LaCour, CEO and executive director of The Blackbaud Giving Fund, explores on Convergent Nonprofit Solutions podcast, The Difference: Nonprofit Fundraising in a For-Profit World.

✨ "Philanthropy is shifting from exclusivity to scale. We're opening that door so millions of everyday employees can participate and feel like their giving matters."

From workplace giving and corporate engagement to trust and transparency, this conversation dives into how nonprofits can tap into new opportunities for growth and impact.

The “digital donor” is no longer emerging, they’re here. From crypto to workplace platforms, donors expect:

• Speed
• Transparency
• Clear impact

For nonprofits, this isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about meeting donors where they already are.

The free Blackbaud Verified Network platform helps bridge that gap by connecting fundraisers to donors already giving through their workplaces, making giving more accessible.
