Updates for California resident donation processing due to Assembly Bill 488

The State of California recently enacted legislation, California Assembly Bill 488 (CA AB 488), which regulates online charitable fundraising in the state. As a result, Blackbaud has made the following changes:

• Beginning in November 2023, Blackbaud will notify charitable organizations that we believe may not be in “good standing” in California based on government data.

• Beginning January 2024, Blackbaud will be prohibited from assisting organizations not in “good standing” in California with making charitable solicitations to and receiving funds from California residents.
