**Software and services provider for nonprofit organisations Blackbaud Inc. has 
partnered in the US with online payment service PayPal to offer BlackbaudNow™, a
low-cost “point-and-click website builder” with secure donation processing and the
ability to send emails and record donors’ giving histories.**

The service is aimed at new and growing nonprofits in the US. There are no setup
or monthly fees. Instead, nonprofits only pay fees on a per-transaction basis.

Blackbaud and PayPal are inviting US nonprofits to take part in the $12,500 “BlackbaudNow
Donation Sweepstakes”. From 30 March to 30 June 2009 nonprofits that sign up for
BlackbaudNow will be automatically entered in the sweepstakes. The winner will receive
a donation of up to $2,500 and 20 additional nonprofits will receive donations of
up to $500.

Marc Chardon, Blackbaud’s chief executive officer, said: “Built on Blackbaud’s proven
technology platform with secure payment processing through PayPal, BlackbaudNow 
provides a simple tool to help nonprofits quickly grow their supporter bases, accept
donations and payments, and communicate their missions online.

“This template-driven solution is ideal for new and growing nonprofits that need
instant access to basic web tools.”

Glenn Lim, general manager of alliances and non-retail payments for PayPal, said:“”
More than 100,000 nonprofits already use PayPal for payment processing. We know 
that our work with Blackbaud, a trusted partner of nonprofits, will allow us to 
better serve our nonprofit customers and help them achieve their fundraising goals.”

There are currently no plans to introduce the service in the UK.
