Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud eTapestry
We use it to track and manage donors and donations incoming from various places. This management helps to better the data for requests, follow-ups, and relationship with those donors. We use that history and trends to support grants and fundraising. Our organization also manages grants for research, mainly through academic resources, and eTapestry helps to track those funds.
- Simplicity
- Search functions for donors and history
- Creating and managing reports, this is not an intuitive system
- The "memory" of accounts and reports recently used is often forgotten
- Historical data
- Management of grants
- Integration with online donations
- The cost of eTapestry is helpful for budget
- The time it takes to learn eTapestry's in's and out's is poor - and time is money
- We've been able to come back to lapsed donors for asks with success
I was not involved in the selection of Blackbaud eTapestry. However, in comparing it to my experience with Raiser's Edge, this program is more user-friendly despite the learning curve battle of the query and reports section of eTapestry.
