The Charleston Metro Chamber Community Champions Awards, presented by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, honors those businesses and individuals who made an impact in 2020.

Blackbaud is being awarded with the Diversity Champion award, which honors a business who is committed to creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace and community.

Blackbaud’s vision to power an Ecosystem of Good® that builds a better world demonstrates their commitment to continually evolve and grow to create both an inclusive workplace and equitable communities. Blackbaud’s culture has been nationally recognized countless times. Their dedication to their vision is apparent with the recent addition of Michael B. Moore as Blackbaud’s first Diversity and Inclusion Officer.

Blackbaud’s commitment to diversity is a focused and continually expanding effort spanning education, awareness, recruitment, empowerment, community involvement and financial support. Blackbaud has employee-led affinity groups which serve to empower and develop personal and professional growth in all employees. Blackbaud’s culture has received national recognition, including Forbes 2020 and 2018 Best Employers for Women, Forbes’ 2019 and 2018 America’s Best Employers for Diversity list, Forbes’ Best Midsize Employers list for four years and AnitaB.org’s list of Top Companies for Women Technologists for the past two years.

We will be recognizing Blackbaud and other Community Champion Award recipients at our Leadership Circle Social in the Chamber Courtyard on April 22 at 4:30.
