            <description> Blackbaud Interactive, the company's Internet strategy and services team, worked with CRISTA Ministries to redesign and develop several of its online ministry sites. A major aspect of the project was the creation of a Global Gift Guide for the World Concern ministry. The online shopping catalog allows supporters to select gifts that directly benefit people in need all over the world. For example, supporters can purchase two lambs for a poor family, provide a blackboard for one classroom, or a safe haven for a neglected or abused child. "CRISTA Ministries has done a remarkable job of leveraging the Internet to engage its supporters and to provide multiple ways for them to interact and support its mission," said Steve MacLaughlin, Blackbaud Interactive's practice manager. "The organization is differentiating itself and transforming the relationships it has with supporters by providing meaningful and relevant content, and personalized services." Blackbaud is the leading global provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations. Approximately 16,000 organizations - including the American Red Cross, Dartmouth College, the WGBH Educational Foundation, Episcopal High School, Lincoln Center, Cancer Research UK, Special Olympics, United Way of America, and Arthritis Foundation - use one or more of Blackbaud products and consulting services for fundraising, financial management, , school administration, and ticketing.
