Email distributed on May 30, 2008 by Rich LaBarbera, President and CEO of Kintera, Inc., to Kintera employees on
behalf of Marc Chardon, President and CEO of Blackbaud, Inc.:
To the Kintera team,
As most of you know Marc Chardon will be visiting us next week in San Diego, I am sure you will find his insight in the market similar and compatible with ours.
Attached is his message to everyone at Kintera.

To all Kintera employees:
The announcement, yesterday evening, of Blackbauds offer to acquire Kintera was the culmination of a lot of hard
work by many exceptional people in our two organizations.
Through the process, we at Blackbaud have become very excited by the opportunity of working with
Kintera employees to offer the worlds non-profit organizations the best and broadest range of skills and creativity to meet the challenge of making the world a better place and empowering the charitable community.
Both of our organizations can be very proud of our great products and service from Friends asking Friends on the one hand, to The Raisers Edge on the
other with many more in between. When combined, well have unparalleled breadth and depth of offering the best solutions portfolio on the market.
Yesterdays announcement was an important step. If youre like me, you probably wish that the acquisition was already complete, so we could start immediately meeting and beating our competition, and having a lot of fun in the
process.
I look forward to meeting many of you when Im out in San Diego next week, and I look forward to working with you when the deal is complete.
Best regards,
Marc
