What is
it?
eTapestry is fundraising software with a unique capability:
it actually recognizes the reality of your world. Designed
to significantly compress the time and effort required for
every task associated with donor cultivation, it helps get
you out from behind your desk-and in front of donors. In its
simplest form, eTapestry is software you run over the Internet.
It tracks donors, prospects or alumni while managing gifts,
pledges and payments.
Unlike traditional systems that
may give you limited access through a browser, eTapestry has
been built to run on the Internet. The latest technology provides
a sophisticated system that is simpler to maintain, costs
less to operate and is intuitively easy-to-learn without extensive
training.
How does it work?
The short answer: independently, intelligently-and very smoothly.
eTapestry works differently than traditional software; it's
a rental application. The eTapestry staff handles all maintenance,
data storage, updates and care. You access your data whenever
and wherever you want, over any internet connection.
Because it was designed to run
on the internet, eTapestry can be fully integrated with your
existing web site. Simple links allow you to give specified
and secured access to anyone - board members, volunteers,
donors and staff. Your site becomes the communications source
for your whole organization.
One more of eTapestry's high-speed
functions: it quickly dispels the notion that technological
sophistication means high cost. By pricing it to fit the budget
of any type or size organization, our goal is to give every
non profit organization the opportunity to use the latest
and most efficient tools for fundraising - that's why it's
free to non-profits with less than 500 donor records. And
for all eTapestry customers the finest email support and customer
service is provided at no additional cost. Automatic updates
and enhancements are also included insuring that you will
always have the latest release and newest features. Pricing
and service options are designed to give you flexibility:
choose quarterly or annual payment to ease cash flow burdens
or add tools and services on an as-needed basis. (see Price
List). Use these features below to get more specific insight.
Flexible Remote Access
While the ease and convenience of eTapestry makes it much
different from other types of fundraising software, one of
its greatest advantages is the ability to weave together the
communications of all your constituents. Donors, prospects,
board members, volunteers and staff can now gain access to
the information they need (if you designate them as users)
from any Internet connection. Advanced security methods protect
your information.
Staff members working offsite,
at remote offices, or from home, can have all functions and
information available to them. Board members can quickly review
a donor's gift history before a major donor meeting, check
the minutes of a previous Board meeting, or review giving
reports before the next Board meeting-from home or the office.
Volunteers can check their work schedules at their convenience.
Prospects and donors contributing through your Web site can
automatically update their personal records and input their
gift. That information is automatically recorded into eTapestry-avoiding
reentry and error. It weaves together function, convenience,
service, and technology to give your organization the best
tool and the smartest investment for managing your development
activities.
Internet = Advantage
To use eTapestry, you don't need to buy software and install
it on your computer. You just log onto the Internet. Use it
from anywhere, at anytime, on any machine that has Internet
access. If you know how to "surf the web" and navigate
through your favorite sites, then you're on your way to using
eTapestry.
Since there is no software to
install, there are no upgrades to purchase and install. Improvements
happen on a continuous basis and are automatically and immediately
available to you-no waiting a year or two for large product
revisions.
eTapestry is simple to maintain
because you don't do it. We do. Data is securely stored, automatically
backed up and maintained offsite, and accessible to you 24
hours a day, seven days a week. So, you spend no time thinking
about hardware problems, backups functioning or operating
in the event of a disaster.
