As we reflect on #TAG2025, we celebrate the innovation, collaboration, and shared vision that have shaped our journey. From our early beginnings to today’s thriving philanthropy tech space, one thing remains constant: TAG exists because of the trust, dedication, and passion of our members. We’re thrilled to announce that in 2026, for our 20th anniversary, the TAG Conference will return to our homebase—Chicago, IL! Thank you for being an essential part of this story. We can’t wait to honor this milestone year and explore what’s next for the sector—and for all of us. #TAG2026, here we come! 

During #TAG2025, we had the honor of bestowing awards to TAG members for their outstanding dedication and commitment to service.     The “Member of the Year” award went to the MacArthur Foundation Jacob Graveldinger for his unwavering spirit of service.     Jake has consistently gone above and beyond in providing pro-bono support to organizations like Solar Responders — a nonprofit dedicated to equipping Puerto Rico’s fire stations with solar and battery storage systems in the wake of Hurricane Maria — which is a testament to his commitment to the service of others through his technical expertise and creative problem-solving.    Join us in celebrating Jacob Graveldinger for his incredible impact and generosity!

During #TAG2025, we had the honor of bestowing awards to TAG members for their outstanding dedication and commitment to service.  The “Lifetime Achievement” award went to the The Colorado Health Foundation Katherine (KG) Rosechild for her community-first, equity-centered approach, her exceptional leadership, and her remarkable generosity. As the third hire at the Colorado Health Foundation, Katherine has guided the organization through unforeseen challenges with her deep understanding of technology and its impact on the communities she serves. A friend and mentor to many, Katherine serves as an inspiration by modeling values-based leadership. Join us in celebrating her contributions across the sector! 

Thank you to the TAG community, our incredible speakers, panelists, and sponsors for making #TAG2025 unforgettable. The connections, knowledge, and memories we made in Atlanta will stay with us and continue to inform our work. See you next year in Chicago for #TAG2026!

We've wrapped up the agenda on an inspiring second day of #TAG2025 in Atlanta. From the cybersecurity keynote panel this morning to the lightning talks to finish the afternoon, we've heard from speakers and community members about how to navigate change, build resilience, and lead with purpose. Keynote speaker Chris Wiggins encapsulated those principles in his message to TAG members: "You are working on some of the most important problems...You are working on care at a time when care is threatened...I encourage you to do it, but not be distracted by whatever is the latest technology...stay at it." #StayAtIt #cybersecurity #data #carework #TAGcommunity

The energy and spirit of #TAG2025 is unmatched. Day one featured a conversation between Nicol Turner Lee and Fallon S. Wilson facilitated by Nadia A.. Day two we kick things off with a breakfast cybersecurity panel with Shauna Dillavou, Lisa Kaplan, Sasha Cohen O'Connell, and Sarah P. followed by our lunch keynote with Chris Wiggins! With lots of exciting breakouts and opportunities for networking between.

I’m thrilled to be presenting at Technology Association of Grantmakers global conference today, alongside Kristopher LeCorgne and Josh D., where we’ll share how teams of any scale can have big impacts. Join us for our session this afternoon with grantmaking and nonprofit leaders – from organizations of every size – to explore emerging trends, share insights, and advance the responsible use of technology in our sector.   Come out to see us here at #TAG2025 in Atlanta!

😢😢😢 I’m sad and jealous to miss my first Technology Association of Grantmakers conference in years! But I know Carrie Watkins and Chrissy Haskell will represent Blackbaud brilliantly. I’ll just miss seeing all my friends! #TAG2025 Stop by the booth to benefit from it being (wo-)manned by 2 people smarter & more competent than me!
