What's New - GrantsConnect Release 2.149.0

This release enhances how grants flow from YourCause® from Blackbaud to nonprofits by introducing Blackbaud Integrated Payments as an additional disbursement option. With this option, organizations and nonprofits have more flexibility in how approved funds are delivered and managed.

When eligible grants are processed through Blackbaud Integrated Payments, funds follow standard charitable disbursement paths and are then deposited into the nonprofit’s connected merchant account. Nonprofits can manage YourCause funds alongside their other Blackbaud Integrated Payments activity and use existing merchant account features to support their operational preferences across CSRconnect, GrantsConnect, and Blackbaud Verified Network.

This change enables more efficient grant disbursement and supports clearer communication between organizations and participating nonprofits.

Tip: Nonprofit organizations can set their Blackbaud Integrated Payments merchant account as their default disbursement method in Blackbaud Verified Network. For instructions, see Connect Blackbaud Integrated Payments for Disbursements.
