What YourCause does

YourCause is a B2B SaaS platform that provides corporate philanthropy and social impact software to enterprise corporations. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Plano, Texas, the company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackbaud, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLKB) following an acquisition by the public software company. The platform is built around three integrated products: CSRconnect for employee engagement (giving, matching gifts, volunteering, employee resource groups, disaster relief, global CSR programs), GrantsConnect for corporate grantmaking workflows, and Impact Edge, an AI-powered impact reporting and storytelling solution launched in 2025. Underlying the products is NPOconnect, described by the company as the largest vetted nonprofit network in the CSR category, which the company claims enables donations to reach vetted causes 95% faster than conventional processing.

The company sells exclusively through an enterprise field sales motion with demo-request conversion CTAs and quote-based pricing; no self-serve or publicly disclosed pricing exists. Named enterprise customers span aerospace and defense (Boeing), banking (Berkshire Bank, Columbia Bank), energy (Chevron), healthcare (HCA Healthcare, Prime Therapeutics), professional services (Accenture, Capgemini, Andersen, Crowe), retail and consumer goods (Fossil Group, Kimberly-Clark, Mary Kay), technology (BMC, Applied Materials), and utilities (Portland General Electric), indicating horizontal enterprise penetration rather than vertical specialization. The technology stack integrates with Blackbaud's broader nonprofit ecosystem and partners including Charity Navigator, True Impact, and Goodera, the latter through an Impact Reporting Network launched in April 2026 that enables nonprofits to file single shared outcomes reports across platforms.

Historically YourCause was an independent venture-backed company (raising a $4 million Series 2 in November 2014) that pursued a roll-up strategy, acquiring Orange Leap (January 2016), Good Done Great (August 2017), and Profits4Purpose (April 2018) before itself being acquired by Blackbaud. It now operates with 101–250 employees as a strategic operating subsidiary within Blackbaud's corporate social responsibility and social impact software portfolio, with no standalone revenue, funding, or operating-geography disclosures available.
