The 2021 report analyzes data from a subset of Blackbaud customers, including more than 280 companies and over 7.2 million employees, collected between January and December 2020<\/span> within Blackbaud’s YourCause\u00ae CSRConnect\u00ae and GrantsConnect\u00ae solutions. <\/p>\n

“In 2020, companies activated corporate responsibility and employee giving and volunteering to help people around the world, as well as their own neighbors,” said Rachel Hutchisson<\/span>, vice president, global social responsibility, Blackbaud. “Companies were required to rethink CSR and the very definition of disaster prevention and relief, and they stepped up to the plate. The report shows that COVID-19 and social justice causes received 83% of the more than $9 million<\/span> in disaster relief donations.”<\/p>\n

“Our Industry Review provides data-driven insights for CSR and employee engagement professionals to benchmark their programs and learn from others so they can continue to expand and maximize the effects of their philanthropic efforts,” said Brandon Sharrett<\/span>, president and general manager, Corporate Solutions, Blackbaud. “This will help practitioners develop CSR strategies to help serve what will be an increasingly virtual workforce as we emerge post-pandemic.”<\/p>\n
