HEP helps nonprofits leverage their gifts

INDIANAPOLIS-eTapestry nonprofits don't have to worry about missing corporate matching gifts.

Nonprofits using eTapestry now have access to HEP Development's GiftPlus OnLine Link that allows them to search the HEP database and verify whether their donors' employers have matching fund programs. Nonprofits can access HEP from within eTapestry.

HEP, based in Leesburg, Va., allows nonprofits to access a database that verifies whether companies have matching fund programs and provides details on the maximum gift eligible, gift ratios and gift-matching procedures.

"HEP's GiftPlus OnLine Link makes sure nonprofits don't leave money on the table," said Phil Richmond, director of business development for eTapestry, a Web-based donor database and communications management system. "These are donations that many nonprofits are missing because they aren't aware of the companies that provide this benefit to their employees."

eTapestry and HEP are a natural fit for nonprofits that want to maximize their fundraising efforts.

"eTapestry is a company with a great reputation and an excellent product," said Steve Hafner, HEP founder and CEO. "We are pleased to work together to provide services that help nonprofits move the needle in their fundraising to better execute their missions."
