Blackbaud is a partner that understands the challenges facing nonprofits and shares their mission of making the world a better place, said Marc Chardon, Blackbaud's chief executive officer. It is the highest honor to be recognized by our customers and to receive two Campbell Awards.

Campbell Rinker is an independent research firm that specializes in producing marketing research for nonprofits. During July and August over 3,800 users of nonprofit software and online solutions for donor and member management, mass communications, and fundraising were surveyed online. The survey, conducted every two years, gathers information on user satisfaction, pricing preferences, purchasing habits, and organizational scope.

"Nonprofit staff members have few opportunities to voice their opinions about the solutions they use," said Dirk Rinker, Campbell Rinker's president. Over the past six years, the Campbell Award has become the de facto standard for independent, statistically valid ratings of nonprofit solutions. We are extremely grateful to the many customers who told us which products they would recommend to others."

The Raiser's Edge enables nonprofit organizations to communicate with their constituents, manage fundraising activities, expand their development efforts, and make better informed decisions through powerful segmentation, analysis and reporting capabilities. This is the second Campbell Award the solution has received. For more information, visit www.blackbaud.com/crm.

Accessible via the Internet, eTapestry includes easy integration to online donation, website services, and advanced email tools that give nonprofits a complete web toolset.

We are excited to be recognized for excellence from a truly reputable source like Campbell Rinker, said Jay Love, eTapestry's chief executive officer. This award is especially meaningful because we're being recognized by our nonprofit customers for the third consecutive time.

Also winning a Campbell Award in recent nationwide survey of approximately 2,400 users of accounting software and online solutions for nonprofits is The Financial Edge. This solution received the honor of being the most recommended accounting solution by nonprofits with annual revenue of less than $5 million. The Financial Edge is an accounting application designed to address the specific accounting and analytical financial reporting needs of nonprofit organizations.
