We’ve just had another weekend of looking at excellent entry level jobs at non-profits, so it makes sense that we’re going to look at jobs with a company that serves non-profits today. Blackbaud is a technology solutions provider for non-profit organizations that specializes in “fundraising, relationship management, financial management, education administration, website management, direct, marketing, ticketing, prospect research, consulting, and training.” That’s a lot to do, but Blackbaud is a big company – they have over 22,000 non-profit customers and almost 2,000 employees. They seem to growing at a good rate, and they even have locations in 5 countries.

A For-Profit for Non-Profits

What I think is the coolest thing about Blackbaud is that although they are a for-profit company, their products and services are enabling tens of thousands of non-profits to do better work. They provide services for non-profits that serve all kinds of areas – education, religion, arts, environment, healthcare, animal welfare, and more. They’re a great place for you to become familiar with the non-profit world and to get a broad view of how many people there are out there trying to make this world a better place. If this sounds like something that you want to be a part of, then you need to look no further than Blackbaud’s Careers page for information on how to join them. The site does a great job of conveying who they are, as it starts with a video compilation of interviews with employees about what they have to say about working at Blackbaud. From there you can navigate to Blackbaud’s Campus Recruiting page, which is a bit short on information, but gives you all of the basics that you need. They’ve already gone through a serious campus recruiting schedule, so now you’ll have to rely on their website to find their jobs. They have two areas that you’ll want to look for these jobs – College Recruiting and Entry-level jobs. I’m not sure why they separate these two, but they seem like they should be classified together. Current opportunities for new grads at Blackbaud include Web Developer (Indianapolis, IN), Java Programmer (Indianapolis, IN), Quality Assurance Analyst (Charleston, SC), Junior Software Designer (Charleston, SC) and Customer Support Analyst (Charelston, SC). This should be everything suitable for new college grads, but you can always look at Blackbaud’s general job listings if you don’t see anything that speaks to you. To apply for a job with Blackbaud, you can submit your resume online directly from the specific job listings.
