Case Study: Scottish Epilepsy Initiative achieves nearly triple fundraising income with Blackbaud eTapestry

Substantially Increases Funding using eTapestry

Scottish Epilepsy Initiative, founded in 2003 to support the 54,000 people in Scotland living with epilepsy, initially relied on a few large corporate gifts and had no formal fundraising program. As the charity grew, the board created a fundraising team and hired a consultant who identified the need for a dedicated fundraising database to manage donors, events and funding applications.

The charity selected eTapestry for its ease of use, flexibility and affordability, especially suited to small or start-up organisations. After implementation, staff could track all donors, trust applications, events and appeals in one place, access accurate real-time records, and scale activity—resulting in rapidly increased fundraising and income that has almost tripled, with eTapestry playing a major role.
