Case Study: Greater Shelby County Education Foundation doubles Taste of Shelby County fundraising with Blackbaud eTapestry

Greater Shelby County Education Foundation- Customer Case Study

The Greater Shelby County Education Foundation supports local schools through grants and community partnerships. Facing limitations with QuickBooks, the event-driven nonprofit needed a more flexible database and reliable online ticketing and reporting — especially after being unable to meet high demand for online sales the previous year.

They implemented eTapestry for its customizable event registration, DIY online forms with integrated payments, mobile pay, automated ticketing/receipts, and robust reporting. The solution streamlined data capture and reduced manual work, and at the next Taste of Shelby County the Foundation doubled its usual fundraising, enabling more teacher grants and positioning the organization to pursue larger corporate sponsors.
