Spain is one of the fastest growing fundraising markets in the world, which means it needs the support of a serious and proven professional fundraising database solution, said Daryl Upsall, chief executive of Spain's leading fundraising consulting agency. Large and small charities will benefit from the decades of knowledge and experience built up by a market leader such as Blackbaud and the eTapestry fundraising solution.

The seminar will cover the use of technology to consolidate operations, strengthen relationships with donors, and make better strategic decisions. The event will preview the Spanish-language version of eTapestry, created specifically for charities in Spain to manage donors, process gifts, create reports, accept online donations and communicate with constituents.

We are excited to partner with Daryl Upsall, and this seminar will be a great way to kickoff our new offering in Spain, said Andrew Mosawi, Blackbaud's vice president of international business. We look forward to providing a new technology resource for the increasingly sophisticated charities in Spain.
