About Blackbaud Giving Fund
The Blackbaud Giving Fund functions as a disbursement hub for donor-directed charitable money, moving contributions from individuals, corporations, and fundraising platforms to eligible nonprofits. The recent grants list shows very large payments to intermediary and service organizations, led by a $16,501,602 grant to Charities Aid Foundation America for general support. Another major pattern is repeated support for the HCA Hope Fund in Nashville, which received multiple eight-figure and near-eight-figure grants across 2023 and 2024. This funder’s work is built around payment and distribution rather than direct program design. Its active programs cover donation disbursement, corporate giving through YourCause, and individual fundraising through JustGiving and CSRconnect. The underlying purpose is consistent across those channels: receive charitable funds, verify eligibility, issue receipts on behalf of recipient organizations, and transfer money onward. In the recent-grants table, that structure appears in grants to organizations such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Inc in Memphis, American National Red Cross in Washington, DC, and Feeding America in Chicago. The grant descriptions are overwhelmingly general support, which fits a model centered on unrestricted donor-directed flow rather than project-specific awards.
What Blackbaud Giving Fund Funds
A defining part of The Blackbaud Giving Fund’s work is intermediary grantmaking. It gave $6,509,654 to Alsac- Eft Depository in Memphis for general support and $2,832,786 to Give2asia in Oakland for general support, showing how it channels charitable dollars through recipient organizations that can then distribute or steward funds. Health-related giving is also prominent. The fund disbursed $2,908,379 to American Cancer Society Inc in Kennesaw for general support and later sent $2,472,073 to American Heart Association Inc in Dallas for general support. It also made a separate $2,497,101 grant to Direct Relief in Goleta for general support. Humanitarian and basic-needs organizations appear as well. Recent grants include $3,424,669 to World Central Kitchen in Washington, DC, $2,696,061 to Icrc in Washington, DC, and $2,294,723 to The Global Foodbanking Network in Chicago, each listed for general support.
How Blackbaud Giving Fund Gives
Typical grant size is modest relative to the largest awards: the 25th percentile is $7,130, the median is $11,041, and the 75th percentile is $24,000. That spread sits alongside a small number of very large disbursements in the recent-grants list. The funder is a pure donor-advised fund provider and a 501(c)(3) public charity, so its role is to receive and distribute donor-directed money rather than make program-related investments. The recent grants also show repeat recipients across multiple years, including Hca Hope Fund, St Jude Childrens Research Hospital Inc, American National Red Cross, and Greater Twin Cities United Way. Some programs accept unsolicited requests, while corporate giving and individual fundraising channels operate through partner platforms.
