The founders of eTapestry, together, have spent over fifty years helping charities implement and use fundraising software. As part of the management team of Master Software Corporation we had the pleasure of working with thousands of organizations and outstanding individuals. And though today the technologies we use are new, our values and philosophies have never changed - they shape our relationships with those we work with, and are woven into the fabric that makes up our company.
