-- Judy Painter, Executive Director
Epilepsy Foundation of Western Pennsylvania

"Using Bookminders has given me peace of mind," says Judy Painter, executive director of the Epilepsy Foundation of Western PA. "As we began to grow and diversify, it became apparent that we needed a better way to keep track of our financial information. However, like most non-profits, we needed to keep our overhead costs low, and it was cost-prohibitive to bring on full-time staff. Bookminders was the perfect solution for us.

"As we began to receive state funding, Bookminders allowed us to track the costs of individual programs and services. Organizing this information has made it easier to access required state financial data and provide our auditors with accurate information," said Painter.

The Epilepsy Foundation hosts several major fundraisers throughout the year. "Bookminders tracks our event spending," says Painter, "so we are able to easily analyze the budget performance. They can tell us exactly where every dollar is spent to organize the event. This information is crucial."

Painter's group has also set up a satellite office in the central part of the state. "Our programs and services are continually expanding," she said. "Bookminders allows us to track money being spent on all financial aspects of our organization."
