The Indianapolis software company eTapestry is offering its Web-based fund-raising software free to charities that have fewer than 1,000 donor records.
The service — which starts at $99 per month for groups with more than 1,000 donor records — allows charities to maintain information about their donors and volunteers, send them e-mail, generate letters, and process gifts and pledges. Charities can also integrate the service with their own Web sites to accept online donations and create message centers that allow volunteers, board members, and staff members to communicate with one another.
Charities gain access to eTapestry’s fund-raising software over the Internet, rather than installing it on their computers as they would traditional software. The company stores and backs up charities’ fund-raising data and maintains and updates the system.
The company’s offer to small charities includes online technical support, system maintainence, and data backup. The service is only free for the organization’s first user, however, and there will be a charge of $20 per month for each additional user. Training and data conversion are also extra.
