Blackbaud (BLKB - Free Report) rolled out its Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising solution, powered by JustGiving, in Canada. JustGiving is the company’s charity crowdfunding platform.

The solution will help charities, public and private foundation entities (which is registered with the Canada Revenue Agency) to formulate effective strategies to bolster fund raising.

The solution will help non-profit organizations to extend the functionality of creating related pages to a fundraiser by its supporters. This will improve awareness regarding a campaign through heightened social media integration. Also, the offering is integrated with Blackbaud eTapestry to facilitate easy reporting of results, noted Blackbaud.  

For individual fundraisers, the peer-to-peer fundraising solution helps to team up with bigger social good associations by allowing direct donations to the organization or designing and sharing their fundraising pages, among others, added Blackbaud.
