CHARLESTON, S.C. April 16, 2019 \u2014 YourCause<\/a>, a\u00a0Blackbaud<\/a>\u00a0(NASDAQ: BLKB) company and a leader in corporate social responsibility software solutions, announced the release of its seventh\u00a0Industry Review<\/a>, a comprehensive analysis of employee engagement and corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. YourCause introduced the new report at its\u00a0CSRWorks<\/a>\u00a0client conference, an annual gathering of more than 300 clients, CSR and employee engagement professionals being held in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n

Corporate citizenship formalizes a company\u2019s commitment towards positively impacting the community through workplace giving, employee volunteering, corporate grantmaking and ethical operations. In 2011, only 20% of Fortune 500 companies had a formal CSR program. By 2015, that number had quadrupled to 80% and continues to rise as customers demand it, employees expect it, and businesses thrive because of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not only proud of the work behind this report but the work we know this report will inspire,\u201d said David Rode, president and general manager, Blackbaud Corporate and Foundation Solutions. \u201cWith better data and insights, companies know what they can do to keep their employees engaged, their customers delighted, and their operations connected to a greater role within the world. CSR means being conscious of and reactive to larger social good opportunities, and with this information at hand, companies can refine their operations to drive the most impact while also experiencing the greatest business success.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2019 Industry Review highlights data by industry, compares domestic versus international CSR programs and explores the impact of natural disasters on giving. YourCause reported on data collected between January and December 2018 to derive the observations contained within the 2019 Industry Review.\u00a0Key findings from the report include:<\/p>\n
