Technology Curriculum
Our curriculum focuses on real-world application and achieves this through expertly designed learning experiences. Hands-on exercises and interactivity are at the heart of every Blackbaud University class, and classes are designed to support a variety of user roles.
Courses that Support Microsoft Products
Blackbaud University is built to expand the knowledge of nonprofit employees through our industry experience. In order to extend our software training reach, we’ve developed a curriculum designed around the Microsoft Excel and Word products that nonprofits utilize most.
In these courses, you learn how to get the most out of your nonprofit data in combination with your Microsoft products. These courses will explore analysis methods, data visualization options, and help you save time with impactful little-known features and tools.
Organizational Best Practices Curriculum
As the recognized leader in nonprofit solutions, Blackbaud University is committed to sharing not only our technology expertise, but also our industry experience. The Organizational Best Practices curriculum is designed to give you the knowledge about relevant nonprofit topics you need to be successful. These courses will explore strategies, inspire conversation, and help you apply industry best practices at your nonprofit organization.
Organizational Best Practices offers courses in three distinct pillars:
Fundraising: Learn to create a robust fundraising strategy to maximize your potential — raise more dollars and retain more donors.
Marketing: Learn to craft and share your mission effectively — through multiple channels and with audience focused messages.
Essentials: Learn strategies to optimize your staff and processes across the social good ecosystem — including events, scholarships, finance, and more.
