Blackbaud executives detailed the company’s strategy during a Baird-hosted discussion, emphasizing its leadership in nonprofit software and mid-single-digit revenue growth. The company’s revenue is roughly two-thirds subscription-based, tied to fundraising and financial management solutions, with the remainder from payments and usage models.
