Blackbaud, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLKB) today announced that its flagship fundraising solution, The Raiser’s Edge®, has been honored with its fourth Campbell Award for User Satisfaction in the 2012 Nonprofit Constituent Management Solution Survey conducted by Campbell Rinker.
"Over the 10 years that Campbell Rinker has conducted this survey among nonprofit users, The Raiser’s Edge is the only product to have won four consecutive Campbell Awards," said Dirk Rinker, president of Campbell Rinker. "The fact that users are consistently eager to recommend The Raiser’s Edge to colleagues is truly a testament to the quality of the product."

This survey, conducted every two years, is the only user research that focuses on this unique product category and includes users’ likelihood to recommend products and adoption rates among other criteria.
“It is such a great honor to receive our 4th Campbell Award for User Satisfaction because it reflects the voice of the Blackbaud customer,” said Jana Eggers, Blackbaud’s senior vice president of products and marketing. “We take customer feedback seriously, and we strive to ensure customers are delighted with all our products and services.”
