Case Study: Haitian Christian Outreach achieves rapid disaster response and $200K in online donations with Blackbaud eTapestry

eTapestry Helps Haitian Christian Outreach Grow Its Supporter Base, Expand Online Fundraising, and Respond to Earthquake

Haitian Christian Outreach (HCO) is a faith‑based nonprofit working in Haiti on church planting, education and healthcare. As the organization grew it needed a centralized system to track supporters, record each donor’s affinity for religion, education or healthcare programs, and expand electronic communications and online giving to better harness incoming support.

In 2007 HCO implemented eTapestry and later added Advanced Email, Personal Fundraising and eCommerce modules—an affordable, scalable solution that centralized supporter data and preferences. The system improved communications and supporter growth, enabled a rapid response after the 2010 earthquake (reaching more than 2,000 constituents), allowed immediate online donations and helped raise over $200,000 from donors in about 20 countries.
