What data is retrieved from eTapestry?

The Fundraising Report Card analyzes donation data only. Your integration syncs eTapestry gifts, recurring gifts, and pledge payments for all time (all received transactions in your database).

Fundraising Report Card only has access to three fields of data from eTapestry:

• Account Ref (a Constituent ID)
• Journal Entry Date
• Received Amount

Fundraising Report Card never has access to any other donor information.

Do I need eTapestry technical expertise to set up the integration?

No, set up a free integration account with Sidekick Solutions here. Step-by-step instructions will be emailed to you. No eTapestry experience is needed to set up the integration. You will need an eTapestry administrator login to set up the integration. Contact your database administrator if you do not have administrator rights in eTapestry.

What is the refresh interval?

To get the most up-to-date data in the Fundraising Report Card, you’ll need to manually access the Integrations page and click “Update”. This will save a new data-file in the Data Center. A new set of data is available for upload once per day based on nightly updates of your data via the integration from Sidekick Solutions.

How do I set my fiscal year?

Fundraising Report Card will not automatically set your fiscal year. To set your fiscal year, please go to the my account page. More on setting your fiscal year can be found here.
