Blackbaud eTapestry

We use Blackbaud eTapestry in our day to day fundRaising activities. We use it to store supporter information, document donations, run queries and reports, compose and send communications and to make bank deposits. This software system supports all of our fundRaising needs in one software system.

Blackbaud eTapestry is very easy to use and is user friendly. Credit card transactions can be made seamlessly. Recording data has never been easier!

The program is also fully customizable for data fields. If you have volunteers, different affiliates, personal information or anything in particular you want to track, you can!

Blackbaud eTapestry is my go to for all CRM within our organization. We keep track of all donations, donor details and prospective donors. By using reports/queries I can supply my Board with financial information within a couple of minutes and I can decide what information they see from account names to recognition names and first donation amount to lifetime donation amount. eTapestry also allows me to send on-off emails or mass communication emails to select accounts and I can add a journal entry at the same time which makes my work life so much easier.

We used eTapestry as a donor CRM. We gained and tracked donations, as well as other communications, financial, and demographic data about current and prospective donors. I was the primary user, but the product was already in place when I joined the organization. WE also used it to send some donor communications out, from invitations to thank you notes.

I use it to track donors and donations to our nonprofit.

I use Blackbaud eTapestry to monitor & input donations & deliver information relevant to donors, prospective donors, volunteers. We are challenged with donors not always able to receive to their email addresses a donation receipt or our newsletter communications. PCSBV does not clearly understand how to operate registration for some events. We need to understand better the full capacity of what was purchased for our charitable organization. We have a future meeting with a Blackbaud consultant to ask questions.

I use Blackbaud eTapestry to help create appeal letters to be emailed out to contacts. The product is useful for cataloging information and providing analytics.

I use it for tracking donations from individuals, corporate sponsors and grants. I use it to send out mailings for tax receipt purposes and we use it for our newsletter distribution. We also use the notes section to keep track of who we call, send thank you letters to and for information about the donor.

ETAP tracks all information regarding donations and donors toour school.

Blackbaud eTapestry is the backbone of our data services. From managing donor and membership records, to maintaining accurate records and notes, eTapestry is a great product for small to mid-sized non-profit organizations. While we do not currently have eTapestry connected with any products other than Constant Contact, the ability to import information makes for an easy adjustment. We rely on this product heavily for reporting purposes and is critical to our success as an organization.

We use eTapestry as donor, volunteer and contacts management software. eTapestry helps us record all donation history, keep track of pledge payments and also administer prospect management.

We use Blackbaud eTapestry CRM to track all fund development interactions in a charitable organization. This includes financial journal entries and related communications for all donations, pledges, sponsorships, planned gifts, and grants. We also use Blackbaud eTapestry to link our website donation, volunteer and event forms to the database. We use the query feature to search for information, manage event guest lists, create reports, and create mass emails or letters and receipts. We can track grant status as well. It has been less useful for moves management of prospects than we would like. Outlook integration is useful.

Etapestry is our primary donor database manager. We had hoped to use it for other areas, including programmatic/volunteer management (which would include form creation etc.), fundraising via merchant use, and direct and large-scale communications (emails, texts, etc.) but found the platform somewhat lacking in user-friendly dynamics, limitations in creativity, interface with users and donors - still very rudimentary. Our focus in our donor demographic is college age and their families/parents, young alumni, some older alumni and older community members but our primary age range is 18-40. They have a very different view point of how things should "work and look". eTapestry (Blackbaud) was also the most comprehensive and affordable option when we first started, and still has a great comprehensive approach to fundraising and donor management, but the interface is still dated, and we found alternative systems to assist us with our online giving, communications, and volunteer/program dynamics that worked better. However, those systems lack excellent donor management pieces - especially with reporting, tracking, and such. So we are a hybrid of many systems, most of which do not and cannot communicate with each other - but we make it work for now.

We use Blackbaud eTapestry as our fundraising and volunteer database / CRM. It is integrated with our website and GoCardless so supporters can sign up to events, make donations and set up direct debits. We also use it to send regular email newsletters to our supporters.

We use Blackbaud eTapestry as a CRM, fundraising mechanism, and reporting system. It helps us communicate with donors, run a variety of reports (one-off and/or regularly scheduled), and keep track of donations for various projects (we have about 45 on the go at the moment). It also allows for many customizations in fields and letter templates.

We use it to manage donor relations, communications, and fund raising. Keeping track of where we are in relation to revenue goals for reporting to the board of directors is a common task. Making sure we stay in touch with our supporters without missing anyone is very important to us. We plan events and use eTapestry to both invite guests as well as evaluate success.

We use it for donor services management, communication, reporting. We keep track of all donors, how much, when and for which campaign do they give. We also use it to send Mass communication emails and to contact donors individually through email. We also use it to report on our donations for Funds, Campaigns, Annual Reports and more

Blackbaud is used to store information on our clients (students), donors (alumni, businesses and corporations), and to run essential reports for student affairs and grants management needs. The database is the central location for knowing where students are located, contact information and much more.

Blackbaud eTapestry is the database we use to maintain information for alums and anyone connected to the school. We use it to log in donations from our benefactors, keep contact information, notes and it allows us to prepare various reports as needed.

We are a theological school. We use it to keep track of students and their requirements in the program--what they have completed, field placements, personnel working with them each year, etc. We also use it to keep track of our graduates and our donors. In the area of Development, I use it for donor mailing lists, segmentation, merging information into communications, mass emails, recording donations, and for finding information.

We use the CRM to track information, donations and mass communications.

We currently use Blackbaud eTapestry to track donations, including how the donation was received, if it is earmarked for a certain purpose, and if it is a memorial or in honor of someone. We also use it to create a variety of mailing lists: newsletters, Christmas cards, and appeals. Recently, I linked it with our Constant Contact account to have better ease of communicating with others. The reports page has also been very helpful in sorting the size of donations and if a person has or has not donated within a specific timeframe. As I am still learning the program, I do foresee using it to maintain better contact with donors by using it to generate personalized letters, either by email or paper mail. As our development department grows, we will also use it to have more specific information under accounts, such as the relationship with the monastery.

We use Blackbaud eTapestry within our development department as a means of storing donor data, tracking income from individuals (donations, recurring gifts; pledges), foundations (grants), and licensing fees. We reference our data in Blackbaud eTapestry extremely frequently - to draw financial reports for accounting, to develop mailing lists/invite lists, to draft acknowledgment letters, etc. Blackbaud eTapestry has been helpful as a donor management database for us mostly.

We are a fairly small non-profit and use Blackbaud eTapestry to manage our database of donors and other stakeholders. This includes CRM functions such as tracking pledges and donations, accepting online donations using the built-in DIY forms, issuing tax receipts and thank-you letters, managing relationships, moves management, tracking fundraising campaigns, financial reconciliation, running queries and reports and sending mass emails. It is currently the only CRM our organization uses.

I use Blackbaud eTapestry primarily for our newsletters and thank you letters to donors. The database and personas that can be attached help us keep track of who we have been in contact with and when they have last volunteered/donated. I love the ability to add notes to a profile, but that is currently the only way I've been able to track my volunteers rather than it actually having its own tracking system.
