Designed to support nonprofits in sustaining and growing their missions, Blackbaud Donation Forms offers solutions to increase donations, enhance donor experiences, streamline administrative processes and lower transaction costs. Nonprofits can choose a fee coverage option that best suits their needs. Options include Complete Cover, offering free processing, or Donor Cover, enabling supporters to cover transaction fees.

Blackbaud highlighted that it is thrilled to extend Blackbaud Donation Forms, which are proven to boost fundraising without transaction fees, to a wider global audience. Thanks to the native integration with Blackbaud CRM, managing donations is simple and efficient. Transactions are saved in an enhanced revenue batch for review before finalizing, ensuring a smooth administrative process.

Key Features of BLKB Donation Forms

Blackbaud Optimized Donation Forms minimize decision-making for both the organization and its constituents, delivering an improved donor experience and boosting “click-to-donation-conversion” rates. Ideal for visually impactful campaigns aimed at gaining more donors, these mobile-first forms integrate seamlessly into websites, allowing direct payments without the need for additional web pages. They can be customized with images and mission statements, ensuring consistent and engaging branding.

Blackbaud’s Standard Donation Forms are ideal for targeted campaigns that require additional data collection. They offer full customization with options “to personalize colors, text, and ask ladders.” These forms also help retain donors by featuring a Recurring Gift Upsell, encouraging one-time donors to switch to monthly contributions.

Notably, Blackbaud's new donation forms are already delivering impressive results for U.S. customers. Using the Optimized Donation Forms., Seed Savers Exchange achieved a 10% growth in conversion rates and a 61% rise in average donation amounts compared to the previous year, highlighted Blackbaud.

Blackbaud is a leading software provider focused on supporting social impact. Its software is designed to enhance impact in areas such as fundraising, financial management for nonprofits, digital giving, grantmaking, corporate social responsibility and education management. In September 2024, Blackbaud unveiled modern donation forms for Blackbaud CRM and Blackbaud Altru users, aiding social impact organizations in enhancing donor engagement and driving fundraising efforts.

Moreover, strong momentum in the core social sector, along with strategic partnerships, bode well. In November 2024, Blackbaud partnered with Flywire Corporation, a global payments enablement and software organization, to improve the payment experience for international students paying tuition fees at K-12 private and independent schools in the United States.

In September 2024, BLKB expanded its long-standing partnership with Microsoft to incorporate Microsoft AI and analytics into software designed for the distinct operational needs of social impact organizations, eliminating the necessity for expensive customizations. The social sector contributed 89% to the company’s third-quarter revenues, marking a 6.6% year-over-year rise. Within this sector, contractual recurring revenues grew 6.8%, while transactional recurring revenues rose 6.6%.

However, Blackbaud has been encountering slow growth due to challenges in its EVERFI business. Additionally, the weak performance of the corporate sector in the third quarter of 2024 raised significant concerns. In January 2025, Blackbaud officially announced the sale of its EVERFI business to an independent private investment firm. The transaction, finalized on Dec. 31, 2024, followed a thorough strategic review process, and was closed for a nominal amount.
