Are you one of the lucky people who are being asked to "do more with less" on their job? One thing we can't get more of is time. So this month I'm featuring tools and resources that will reduce some of the time consuming aspects of your job. Then you can focus more on raising funds to fuel your mission!

 

Featured Fundraising Resource: eTapestry Software

Having the technology to effectively manage donor information, communicate with supporters online and accept internet based donations are essential for today's nonprofits.

eTapestry offers a whole suite of tools to simplify this process for you. There's a web-based donor management system, an online giving system, specialized email tools and even event registration just to name a few. Since everything is connected you save time by not having to enter duplicate information or use multiple systems.

Here's a great case study...

Gleaners Food Bank in central Indiana uses eTapestry's tools to make their donor data management less time consuming. They are able to track donation information effectively so they can continue to follow up with supporters and solicit additional funds.

eTapestry was instrumental in helping them recover from a major disaster - vandals who damaged the refrigeration system over a weekend left $170,000 worth of food destroyed. The community response was overwhelming. They went to the food bank website and donated instantly, using the online donation system enabled by eTapestry. Watch the Video for the full story

The software is user friendly and you'll get top notch training and support. It can be made available to your entire team so that information related to your fundraising efforts that they need to succeed are right there (from anywhere since it's a web based system).

Plus the eTapestry team manages all of the techie stuff - all upgrades, maintenance, backups, and data security are managed and monitored for you. A big plus for so many organizations that don't have a technology department (or even one tech guy or gal)!

The bottom line is that using software like eTapestry helps you focus more on your mission, build better relationships with supporters and makes fundraising easier.

Here's a great overview of eTapestry that you can print out or just go to eTapestry.com for more information.
