eTapestry is a web-based software application for fundraising and contact management for donors and other contacts. It tracks donors, prospects, members, and alumni while managing gifts, pledges, and payments. An organization's data is stored and maintained remotely, and staff members interact with it through a web browser. eTapestry takes care of backups, upgrades, security, and system maintenance.
Benefits for Organizations
- People working at remote offices or from home have all functions and information available to them. For example, board members making calls on major donors can review a donor's gift history anywhere.
- Users can search for donors using a search-engine-style window. They can view donor information, update contact info, record notes of a conversation, and send email.
- A variety of prebuilt fundraising reports with drill-down capability are available, or they can be built as needed.
Subscription Details
This offering includes 12 months of access to eTapestry. At the end of the donation period, organizations that want to continue using eTapestry may request a new donation. One user at a time may access eTapestry. Organizations that require multiple concurrent users can purchase additional access directly from eTapestry.
This offering is not available to current or previous eTapestry subscribers unless the subscription was obtained through TechSoup.
Appropriate for Fewer Than 1,000 Records
This donation is most appropriate for organizations with fewer than 1,000 records. Organizations with 1,000 to 5,000 records should go to eTapestry and request the special 10 percent TechSoup discount. (This discount is valid only for new eTapestry subscriptions and only for the first year of service.)
Donor/Contact Management
eTapestry handles all variety and combinations of donor types (individuals, couples, families, corporations, foundations) from a single screen. Additions and changes are tracked by dates and user. The web-based interface is easy to learn and use. All mass or individual emails are recorded in an account journal, easily integrated with Microsoft Word.
Reporting
Unlimited reciprocal links and user-defined fields make it possible to sort and create reports unique to the needs of each organization. On-screen drill-down reporting is available from any field, down to subtotal, gift amount, or donor record. Duplicate records are easily merged, and user-defined field values can be assigned in bulk. There is a wide range of standard reports on accounts, gifts, memorials/tributes, or system information.
Gift and Pledge Maintenance
eTapestry includes gift processing for all forms of gifts (cash, check, credit card, stock, gift-in-kind, real estate). Pledge processing capabilities include reminders, reporting, and variable schedules.
Data Security
Everything needed to protect physical data and maintain access to information is taken care of by eTapestry. Data security includes an environment that is continuously monitored and is protected by the latest firewalls, router settings, and storage devices. Data is automatically backed up every day, and multiple data centers provide protection against system failures. Organizations maintain complete ownership of their data, but they do not have to have expertise in data security.
