244 Bloomerang Testimonials

"InitLive's flexibility in creating volunteer shifts and curating schedules is incredible. Volunteers really appreciated the ability to self-sign up and the flexibility to fit their volunteering around their busy life, work, and family schedules. The integration between InitLive and MapTag has also been incredible. We have been able to streamline our workflow to the point where we could take on new food banks without an increase in staff resources."

"InitLive helps me communicate a 100% more efficiently and accurately. Using InitLive, if there is any type of safety situation, I know who's checked in to the event. It’s part of our security plan: using InitLive, we can pull up all the information we need on our phones. I can send broadcast messages just to specific groups or all volunteers at once."

“If you’re ready for a software that will not only help you manage your donor information, but also your donor relationships, this is it. If I were in the market for software, I’d jump all over Bloomerang!”

“I heard about Bloomerang but I never had the chance to work with Bloomerang. So as the decision-maker I made a choice to move forward with Bloomerang.”

“We spent several years looking for the appropriate system. They were all too expensive or promised to do much more than what we needed. We heard from one person about Bloomerang, vetted the product, and spoke with the CEO of the company before deciding to use it.”

“This database helps us keep up with our alumni and send them news from us. Now we can invite them to events and track their donations. It will help us in the future as the database fills up and hopefully it will result in more donations.”

“We needed to switch to a CRM that was user-friendly while still robust enough to run dashboards and reports. We were currently in a system that was too complicated to learn and get information quickly.”

“Our previous database was cumbersome, time-consuming to manage, and the reports were impossible to run. Also, there was literally no customer support platform. Other CRMs I’ve used were obviously created by software developers, not fundraisers, and they were reluctant to adapt to our needs. We know our donors better – Bloomerang allows you to track interactions you have with them, such as their volunteer time, attendance at Vision Meetings, email conversations, or just run-ins at the grocery store. We also can spend more time meeting and stewarding donors and less time with data entry because Bloomerang makes it simple or automated.”

“As the first Director of Development, I stepped into an operation with an existing CRM that was not well suited for a one-person development program. I needed to consider ease of use, affordability, and good reports to help be successful. The former CRM was clunky, expensive, and not easy to use. When I would finally figure something out, I was not pleased with the appearance of things like letters, emails, etc.”

“You will love Bloomerang! Easy to learn and easy to use.”

“Having to use Word and Excel to create and track letters was getting tiresome. Bloomerang has alleviated the problem and restored time.”

“The quality of our e-newsletter has improved. We used to use Constant Contact. Being able to have our e-newsletter integrated in our database and being able to look at open rates and what donors are clicking on helps to strengthen our relationship with them. Our open rates have increased since using Bloomerang.”

“Being a new foundation, we knew it was necessary to have a donor database. The Executive Director here did some research on what would fit our needs the best and we chose Bloomerang.”

“With Bloomerang, we’re able to easily look at who has made a gift in the last five years, and identify where there been lapses. We spend more time with those donors.”

“Bloomerang is all you need and then some. If you know what you need to track, there is a way to track with and pull it through individualized reports without the difficulty of coding and waiting for someone else to create a report for you.”
