Great for
- Small fundraising teams wanting a well-known vendor and a lower-cost step down from Raiser's Edge NXT

Watch out for
- Organisations wanting prices published up front

- Prices are not published, so comparison is slow
- Interface and set-up can feel dated compared with newer donor CRMs
- Third-party reports suggest costs rise as contact numbers grow

About Blackbaud eTapestry+
eTapestry is Blackbaud's cloud donor management system for small fundraising teams. It keeps supporter records, gifts, events, memberships, volunteers and grants in one place, and adds online donation forms, email marketing and peer-to-peer fundraising. It sits below Raiser's Edge NXT in Blackbaud's range and is aimed at smaller teams that want a long-established vendor.
Pricing: Quote only on the vendor site: Blackbaud says pricing is customised to organisation size, users, solutions and support, and it does not publish packages. Third-party directories report entry packages from about US$99/month (Starter) and about US$199/month (Essentials), but these were not confirmed on a Blackbaud page.
