“As a small nonprofit, for every dollar that we bring in, we need to be good stewards of that money. Any savings leads to more money that we can use to support programs. With eTapestry’s custom cart we are able to provide a convenient way for donors to purchase tickets that is easily tracked in my eTapestry database and through Blackbaud Merchant Services reporting. Plus, with Blackbaud Merchant Services we are able to save money on these transactions. As more and more people go online to purchase, these savings will really add up. For me, switching to Blackbaud Merchant Services was a no-brainer.”

“Because of Blackbaud, we can now effectively target and segment groups of people and no longer have to manage groups using gigantic lists— which is very helpful when you consider the potential obstacles you can encounter using static lists to manage email communication.”
