**Data integration tool Bridgit has been selected by Blackbaud for its global accelerator,
the Blackbaud Social Good Startup Program. One of 12 social tech startups selected
from around the world, it is the only startup chosen from the UK and Ireland.**

The tech accelerator programme is designed to “empower early-stage software ventures
that are tackling meaningful challenges within the social impact sector”.

Participants in this curated programme receive a wealth of strategic support designed
to fast-track their growth and integration into the wider sector. Key benefits include
dedicated mentorship from Blackbaud’s internal experts, who provide guidance on 
product strategy, scaling, and navigating the complexities of the social good market.

In addition the programme facilitates technical integration with Blackbaud’s existing
ecosystem. This ensures that the innovations developed by these startups are “plug-
and-play” ready, allowing charities to adopt new tools without disrupting their 
existing workflows. Furthermore, participants receive “go-to-market” support, gaining
valuable visibility and networking opportunities within Blackbaud’s global network
of nonprofit customers and partners.

**Rosalyn Lemieux**, Director, Product Management and Strategy at Blackbaud explains:

> “The [Social Good Startup Program](https://www.blackbaud.com/newsroom/article/blackbaud-welcomes-12-innovative-startups-to-its-social-good-tech-accelerator)
> is more than an accelerator. It’s a catalyst for innovation in the social impact
> space. By connecting these visionary founders with Blackbaud’s ecosystem, we’re
> helping them scale solutions that empower nonprofits and socially responsible 
> organisations to achieve more than ever before”.

For [Bridgit](https://www.hibridgit.com), this means a chance to fast-track its 
development and deepen the organisation’s ability to serve charities, especially
as they expand to support American nonprofits.

Offering an integration hub built for charities, Bridgit automates the flow of data
between a charity’s fundraising platforms, CRMs, and marketing tools, “so your team
can spend less time wrestling with spreadsheets and more time focusing on supporters”.

Sean Donnelly said on LinkedIn of Bridgit’s selection by Blackbaud:

“Being the sole representative from the UK and Ireland is a proud milestone that
validates the platform’s potential to transform service delivery at scale”
