INDIANAPOLIS -The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University and eTapestry.com have signed an agreement to create a mutually beneficial relationship. The new alliance is aimed at providing both entities with additional resources to assist in achieving their missions and enabling them to offer expanded services to their constituents.

The arrangement will provide substantial benefits for fund raisers and others working in nonprofits and in the philanthropic world. It will offer them access to the latest research about philanthropy and nonprofit management conducted by the Center on Philanthropy and will make them aware of professional development opportunities offered through The Fund Raising School at the Center. It will also educate more nonprofit professionals about developments in fund raising technology and provide them with information on fund raising software offered by fund raising applications service provider eTapestry.com.

"The Center on Philanthropy strives to provide top-quality training, information and services that help improve professional practice for nonprofits. Information technology is rapidly increasing in its importance to these groups. As a leader in providing technology for nonprofits, eTapestry.com offers a wealth of knowledge on this subject that is valuable to our students, faculty and staff," said Patrick M. Rooney, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Research for the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. "We are proud to join forces with eTapestry.com to help nonprofits learn more about both technology and best practices as they relate to fund raising."

"Our clients are seeking not only excellent, reliable fund raising software, but also ideas, information and training that will help them improve and increase their fund raising. The Center on Philanthropy and The Fund Raising School at the Center offer an unparalleled breadth and depth of expertise in all areas of fund raising, philanthropy and nonprofit management. eTapestry.com is pleased to be able to share that expertise with our members," said Jay Love, President and CEO of eTapestry.com.

Under the agreement, the Center on Philanthropy and eTapestry.com will undertake a number of collaborative efforts. These may include:

• The Fund Raising School at the Center on Philanthropy will make information about eTapestry.com available to participants in courses taught by The Fund Raising School. eTapestry.com will offer an optional free, one-month membership to all graduates of those courses.

• eTapestry.com will make information about The Fund Raising School's courses and the Center on Philanthropy's academic degree and certificate programs available to its members.

• Various sponsorship and advertising opportunities will be offered to each organization by the other as appropriate.

• The two organizations will provide links to each other's Web sites from their own sites to inform their constituents about services available to them through the other organization.

The agreement does not constitute an endorsement of either organization by the other, and it is not an exclusive arrangement.

Free accounts are being provided to nonprofit organizations with 1,000 or fewer donor records to assist the organizations in improving their donor management and fundraising. eTapestry is waiving its monthly fees because small organizations often lack the resources to invest in comprehensive fundraising software.

For organizations with more than 1,000 donor records, eTapestry.com is available starting at $99 a month.
