Blackbaud announced a partnership with Anthropic to provide the fundraising connector for Claude for Nonprofits aiming to change how mission-driven organizations harness intelligence to accelerate impact. With the new Claude for Work connector, available in Teams and Enterprise plans and debuting for Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT, Blackbaud customers can now choose to access their intelligence layer built from 40+ years of nonprofit performance data - donor behavior, giving patterns, campaign outcomes, and operational workflows - directly within the platforms they use every day. The first agent, Development Agent, is already in early access and will unlock new monetization opportunities across the Blackbaud ecosystem. The company will expand Agents for Good across core business needs for social impact teams; expand the Anthropic connector across its industry-leading nonprofit, education, and corporate solutions; and continue its expansion of Blackbaud AI capabilities integrated within its solutions, including Chat for Blackbaud AI.
