The Faith Communities sector includes mission-based non-profit organizations with missions arising out of their faith and religious identity. Catholic dioceses, parishes, and protestant churches also make up a part of this group. While Faith Communities encompass a broad variety of religious beliefs, they all seek to deepen and grow a vibrant community of faith that serves the world.
With a large focus on meeting human needs, Faith Communities saw the strongest increases in online fundraising and engagement out of all sectors other than Food Banks.
Overall, the Blackbaud tools made it possible for us to feature our mission and showcase our great priests and parish communities. Because the tech part was taken care of, we could focus on the joyful parts of parish life, and we were able to help keep people connected even in the middle of the pandemic.
