Indianapolis, IN - (July 7, 2008) – eTapestry today announced the availability of its on-demand fundraising software in a Spanish language version. eTapestry Espanol will provide a new group of growing nonprofits around the world with web-based tools to efficiently and effectively manage their fundraising activities.

"With eTapestry users accessing their data from points all over the globe, it was plain to see that eTapestry's on demand software was opening up new opportunities for organizations everywhere," said Jay Love, eTapestry's chief executive officer.

According to John Moore, eTapestry's CTO and vice president of development, eTapestry is uniquely positioned to offer the product in a new, international market:

"The need for automation and data segmentation is universal, but from the very beginning, eTapestry was architected with an eye toward offering the product on an international scale," said Moore. "This framework allows eTapestry to concentrate on how nonprofit organizations run their business rather than the traditional maintenance overhead of maintaining multiple versions of the software."

Moore added, "Being a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering, we are positioned to rapidly evolve the product in a new market. We don't have the limitation of client-installed software so our release cycle can be very aggressive. The customers will realize the benefits much quicker because their suggestions are incorporated into the product within a few weeks rather than months."

In 2006, eTapestry began creating the multi-lingual version to assist Spanish-speaking clients in several U.S. cities including San Diego, Miami, and Houston. After gaining great feedback from early adopters, developers were able to make the changes necessary to expand the eTapestry software into larger international markets.

That effort complimented the international development plans of Blackbaud, eTapestry's parent company. Working together, they began to develop a strategy to introduce eTapestry Espanol to Latin America.

"The nonprofit community in Latin America is rapidly growing and needs software to better manage donor relations and overall accountability," said Andrew Mosawi, Blackbaud's vice president of international business development. "It is a market that has been underserved by the nonprofit software industry thus far, and we are pleased to provide an on-demand solution that is tailored to the unique needs of these growing organizations."

Company representatives presented eTapestry Espanol to a group of nonprofits at an event earlier this year organized by the Association of Fundraising Professionals in Mexico City. The overwhelmingly positive response resulted in the recent formation of a pilot program. Mosawi noted, "The pilot program in Mexico is in its early stages, but is making great progress and we expect that our current international client base of more than 2200 organizations in 55 countries will grow significantly. Upon successful completion of the pilot program in Mexico City, we can then look to expand to other countries including Argentina, Chile and Spain – ¡El cielo es el límite! (the sky is the limit!)"

Indianapolis, IN - (June 25, 2008) – eTapestry was recently named to the 2008 list of Best Places to Work in Indiana by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. At an awards ceremony hosted by the Chamber, eTapestry was recognized as the 17th best work environment in the small-medium company category, an even higher ranking than the 19th place recognition the company received in 2007.

"We are truly honored that eTapestry is once again being recognized as one of the best places to work in Indiana," said Doug Stevens, eTapestry's director of architecture. "I think eTapestry provides a perfect example that a happy employee is a productive employee. The company does a lot to foster a fun atmosphere, but it's the people that make this such a special place."

Rick Radcliff, eTapestry's director of conversion services, added "Ranking number 17 is a tremendous accomplishment, and we'll keep striving higher."

eTapestry strives to provide a good amount of convenience, fun, and feel-good opportunities for its employees. In order to help balance employees' home life and work life, eTapestry provides several convenient amenities, like a full kitchen and full service laundry facilities. They also have shower rooms, which are convenient for those employees who take advantage of the basketball court, gym equipment, and exercise/yoga areas.

The fun at eTapestry is always in full swing due to the dozens of annual events that eTapestry coordinates on an almost weekly basis. Activities like softball, kickball, watermelon seed spitting contests, Quiz Show trivia contests, cookouts, golf outings, Guitar Hero contests, Christmas talent shows, dodgeball...the list goes on and on.

"In addition to having fun, our company events give employees another opportunity to get to know those co-workers they don't interact with daily a little better," added Steve Rusche, co-founder and COO. "Teamwork is really important to our success, and our events help build teamwork."

Another opportunity that sets eTapestry apart from most small companies is its focus on volunteer activities. The founders of eTapestry have always felt strongly about giving back to the community and they make sure that their employees are given every opportunity to do so as well. eTapestry coordinates regular volunteer activities with some of the organizations in Indianapolis and allows employees to take time out of their workdays to lend a hand and give back, whether it is assisting at a food bank for an afternoon, or signing up for one of the blood drives that eTapestry hosts.

The Indiana Chamber announced rankings for all 66 companies that made the Best Places to Work in Indiana list at an awards dinner at the Indiana Roof Ballroom attended by 800 Hoosier businesspeople.

The honorees were determined through employer reports and comprehensive employee surveys, with winners selected in two categories: small to medium-sized companies of between 25 and 249 employees, and large-sized companies consisting of 250 or more employees. Out-of-state parent companies were eligible to participate if at least 25 full-time employees are in Indiana.

Charleston, S.C. – May 29, 2008 – Blackbaud, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLKB), the leading provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, announced today that it is acquiring Kintera, Inc. (NASDAQ: KNTA), a pioneer and leading provider of a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution to the nonprofit and government sectors. Under the terms of the agreement, Blackbaud will pay an all-cash purchase price of approximately $46.0 million. Blackbaud expects to finance the deal with cash and borrowings from its credit facility.

Kintera's principal offering is its online Sphere® technology platform, which is used by such leading organizations as American Lung Association, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, International Fund for Animal Welfare, Lance Armstrong Foundation and Sesame Workshop to manage online fundraising events and in 2007 processed over $400 million in online gifts. The company also offers wealth profiling and screening services as well as an accounting software solution, both similar to offerings of Blackbaud. With approximately 4,000 customers, Kintera is recognized for the proven capabilities of its Sphere® SaaS offering that has allowed nonprofits to effectively grow their base of supporters and expand their online fundraising initiatives. The company reported $44.9 million in total revenue for 2007.

Marc Chardon, Blackbaud's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The acquisition of Kintera is very exciting for us and for the nonprofit industry as a whole. Expanding Blackbaud's online offering in this way further establishes Blackbaud as the leading solutions partner for nonprofit organizations. The online solutions of the two companies have historically served different segments of the market and this acquisition gives us the ability to broaden our addressable market with proven and rich online product functionality."

Chardon continued, "Our core capabilities are complementary and we expect to continue to offer a full range of solutions that effectively meet nonprofits' needs for donor acquisition and cultivation that are intergrated with our suite of CRM solutions, including The Raiser's Edge®. Kintera's "Friends Asking Friends®" team fundraising and advocacy solutions are well suited for organizations that use these programs to grow their base of supporters. Similarly, Blackbaud's NetCommunity™ offering is ideally suited for enriching the online experience of current donors enhancing the value of data that already exists in the CRM system."

Chardon added, "We are also pleased to offer new options to Kintera's accounting and wealth data customers. P!N™ has been innovative in coupling traditional wealth screening services with online offerings and we are excited about the potential of combining these offerings with Target Analytics' current product portfolio. Likewise, Fundware® has long met the fund accounting needs of many nonprofits and we expect to work closely with Kintera and their partners to enhance the range of solutions available to this important set of customers. Combining these solutions with Blackbaud’s current offerings will allow us to continue to grow these important segments of our business."

Kintera will continue to be led by its current President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard LaBarbera, a high tech industry veteran with more than 30 years experience working with such leading software providers as Sybase, Siemens/Nixdorf, Storage Technology and IBM. Kintera operations will continue to be directed from their existing offices in San Diego.

LaBarbera said, "Joining with Blackbaud gives us a way to leverage our capabilities with those of the industry leader and thus significantly improve the customer's experience. Importantly, this move also means that nonprofits will be able to choose Kintera solutions confident in the knowledge that they are backed by Blackbaud's robust corporate infrastructure and that the partner they have selected will be there to serve them for many years into the future. Our focus will now turn exclusively to better meeting the needs of our customers and collaborating with Blackbaud to leverage the investment they are making to better serve the nonprofit sector. We are very excited about the potential to offer more compelling solutions that enhance the donor experience and increase nonprofits' abilities to raise more money."

Tim Williams, Blackbaud's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "In addition to the strategic reasons supporting the acquisition of Kintera, we believe the acquisition is attractive from a financial perspective as well. Subscription revenue was already the fastest growing source of revenue at Blackbaud and it was expected to become larger than license revenue at some point in the second half of 2008. With the acquisition of Kintera, this will become a certainty as we will add another significant source of subscription-based revenue from an on-demand service offering. The evolution of Blackbaud's business model toward new revenue sources with ratable revenue recognition has been a significant and positive development over the past several years, and it complements the very strong cash flow profile of the company."

Blackbaud's acquisition of Kintera is structured as an all-cash tender offer for all of the shares of Kintera at a price of $1.12 per share. The company is expected to formally launch the tender sometime next week and close on or around July 2.

Conference Call Details:
Blackbaud will host a conference call today, May 29, 2008, at 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) to discuss the acquisition. To access this call, dial 888-599-4858 (domestic) or 913-312-0834 (international). A replay of the conference call will be available through June 5, 2008 at 888-203-1112 (domestic) or 719-457-0820 (international). The replay passcode is 2074070.

Indianapolis, IN. (May 14, 2008) – eTapestry announced today that it will now be offering its Application Programming Interface (API) module free of charge. The eTapestry API provides nonprofit organizations and third-party developers the necessary tools to facilitate an exchange of data between the eTapestry database and other applications.

"We are pleased to provide free access to the API to both customers and the fundraising software development community as a whole," said John Moore, eTapestry's CTO and vice president of development. "Our hope is that by providing a level of transparency and openness, organizations can leverage the data they store in eTapestry in creative and functional ways."

By using the eTapestry API, organizations can build tools with higher functionality than standard ecommerce or registration pages. "The availability of the API to everyone will allow us to reach a broader audience and will enable the solution to be customized to serve an organization's exact needs," said Moore.

The API may also be used as an automated data entry interface, in which data is sent one record at a time through the interface of another database or application into eTapestry. eTapestry's API utilizes Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) to push data to, or pull data from an eTapestry database.

eTapestry will continue to offer pre-packaged applications and services that leverage its own API for the most commonly requested fundraising features. By making the API available for free, the company expects to see a whole new set of specialized tools being built to address very specific needs. While the API documentation and sample code is free, organizations or developers that need help with their projects can still choose to partner with eTapestry consultants. The API can be accessed at www.etapestry.com.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — August 6, 2007 – Blackbaud, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLKB), the leading provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, announced today that it has acquired privately-owned eTapestry, based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Under the terms of the agreement, Blackbaud paid an aggregate purchase price of approximately $24.8 million, plus an additional amount of up to $1.5 million under a two-year stock-based performance incentive arrangement. Blackbaud financed the deal through a combination of cash and borrowings from its credit facility.

Founded in 1999, eTapestry developed one of the first Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings built specifically for nonprofits. eTapestry’s flagship offering is its on-demand fundraising solution, which is easy to use, easy to deploy and maintain. eTapestry currently has more than 3,000 customers on its on-demand services, with donor records ranging from several hundred per organization to more than 300,000.

Marc Chardon, Blackbaud's chief executive officer, said, "We are very excited to announce the acquisition of eTapestry. This strategic move provides Blackbaud with a best-of-breed, on-demand fundraising solution that is ideally suited for smaller organizations interested in an easy to deploy and relatively low cost offering, as well as mid-sized nonprofits interested in a stand-alone fundraising solution deployed in an on-demand model." Chardon added, "This acquisition opens up a market opportunity that Blackbaud was not actively addressing. Combined with the robust functionality of Raiser's Edge and our integrated suite of solutions, we believe that Blackbaud is now positioned to meet the fundraising needs of all nonprofits, irrespective of their size or approach to technology.

Chardon added, "From a long-term perspective, we believe that Software-as-a-Service offerings in the nonprofit sector will grow in importance. With the acquisition of eTapestry, we have positioned Blackbaud to participate in an early-stage, high-growth trend with a company that has a proven solution, customer base and growth track record. In addition, Blackbaud adds significant domain expertise in the nonprofit sector and on-demand market."

eTapestry will continue operations as a wholly-owned subsidiary in Indianapolis. The 85-person company will continue to be led by Jay Love, co-founder and currently CEO of eTapestry. Jay previously served as a sales and marketing consultant at Target Software, as well as president and CEO of Master Software Corporation, which was acquired by Blackbaud in 1997. John Moore, eTapestry's co-founder and vice president of development, and Steve Rusche, eTapestry's co-founder and COO, both plan on continuing in their current roles with eTapestry as it becomes part of Blackbaud. On a combined basis, the founders of eTapestry have spent more than 50 years helping nonprofits implement and use fundraising software.

Jay Love, eTapestry's co-founder and chief executive officer, said "Having previously been the CEO of a company that was sold to Blackbaud, as well as working at Target Software, I am extremely familiar with Blackbaud's value proposition, proven track record with customers, corporate culture and clear industry leadership position. Today's announcement is great news for our customers and employees, as we are combining eTapestry's thought and market leadership in on-demand fundraising solutions with Blackbaud's significant resources and far greater critical mass. The products and target markets of both companies are highly synergistic, and we look forward to working with Marc and the rest of the Blackbaud management team to ensure that we deliver on the combined companies' potential."

Tim Williams, Blackbaud's CFO, stated, "In addition to the strategic reasons supporting the acquisition of eTapestry, we believe the acquisition is attractive from a financial perspective as well. Specifically, Blackbaud will be adding another high-growth, subscription-based revenue stream from an on-demand service offering. The combination of eTapestry, Target Software and Blackbaud's previously existing subscription revenue sources represent the highest growth revenue line in our business. The growing portion of Blackbaud's revenue that is coming from recurring sources, combined with its very strong cash flow, provides the company with a very attractive business model."

The company's management will provide details on the expected financial impact of the eTapestry acquisition on its second quarter 2007 earnings conference call scheduled for later today, August 6. Details for this call are contained separately in a press release dated July 11, in addition to a press release on the Company’s second quarter financial results issued after market close today.

INDIANAPOLIS - (May 2007) eTapestry was named one of the "Best Places to Work" in the state of Indiana by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. At an awards ceremony hosted by the Chamber, eTapestry was recognized as the 19th best work environment in the small-medium company category (less than 250 employees).

"It is very gratifying to make the list of "Best Places to Work", especially when considering the other companies on the list," said Steve Rusche, Co-Founder and COO. "All of the folks at eTapestry work hard to create a positive and productive work environment, and this confirmation of their efforts is very rewarding."

The Indiana Chamber announced rankings for all 50 companies who made the "Best Places to Work in Indiana" list at an awards luncheon at the Indiana Roof Ballroom attended by more than 650 Hoosier businesspeople. Names of companies on the list had been released February 26.

“Best Place to Work” honorees were determined through employer reports and comprehensive employee surveys, with winners selected in two categories: small to medium-sized companies of between 25 and 249 employees, and large-sized companies consisting of 250 or more employees. Out-of-state parent companies were eligible to participate if at least 25 full-time employees are in Indiana.

The Best Companies Group has overseen similar programs in 18 other states. ModernThink, LLC, a workplace excellence consulting firm, handled the selection process. The basis for this initiative is Fortune magazine’s noted "100 Best Places to Work for" list.

INDIANAPOLIS – (March 2007) In the increasingly saturated nonprofit sector, the drive to bring in donor dollars is at an all-time high. The competition for the donor dollar will only increase as more options become available for the public to donate to. As a result, Walker Information and eTapestry have formed an alliance to provide non-profit organizations more services to measure the loyalty of their donors.

eTapestry Chief Operating Officer Steve Rusche recognizes the impact these services can have on the long-term fundraising success. "Having an extremely high percentage of truly loyal donors is a positive sign for the nonprofit industry," Rusche said. "As a result, this information offers organizations a solid projection of which donors are likely to continue their support, and which ones can benefit from additional outreach to help ensure they continue their support in the future."

Through asking a series of questions, donors will be segmented into one of four loyalty segments – truly loyal, accessible, trapped, and high risk. Truly loyal donors feel very positive about the organization and will continue to support it in the future. Accessible donors feel positively about the organization but just cannot say they will support the organization in the future due to external reasons such as lack of funds or loss of a job. Trapped donors do not feel all that committed to the organization but are going to continue to support the organization. Finally, high-risk donors are not all that committed to the organization and do not plan to support the organization in the future.

This alliance has made the process of obtaining such critical loyalty information very simple, yet very powerful. eTapestry can setup the donor loyalty survey for an organization. Then, when the donor logs into the system to make a donation, they are asked to take a very short survey at the end of the transaction. After the completion of the survey, the organization will be able to view the results in real time. A quarterly report also will be produced summarizing the results for the individual organization and comparing their results to similar organizations.

Walker Information Senior Consultant Chris Woolard recognizes the potential widespread impact of this Walker Information and eTapestry alliance. "Walker and eTapestry share the same principles regarding loyalty, so it will be fascinating to apply these principles to the nonprofit sector," Woolard said.
