"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."
“I have heard over and over from all the users that the database is easy to use and they were not intimated about using it. The customer service has been outstanding. I have been able to get them quickly and they have been able to resolve all my issues in a timely manner. And they all have a great sense of humor that they throw in there unexpectedly.”
“At first we were looking for which CRM had the most features. As we went through the process we decided it was equally important to choose a CRM that was easy to learn.”
“Bloomerang for Benevon is a great tool, easy to work and really fun to use.”
“Before Bloomerang it was impossible to send an email to donors (either specific donors or all donors) and have that information in the donor record and available to compare to who responded. Now, in the matter of a few minutes, I can communicate with donors and share a story, a request, or a thank you. In addition, with a staff reduction (to just me) during and post-covid, I’m more efficient than I would have been had I stayed in our old database.”
“Bloomerang was recommended by a fundraising mentor, but once I started researching it alongside other companies I realized its user ease and the simple layout made it both useful and incredibly appealing.”
“The database we were using was archaic and not conducive to reporting usable information.”
“I had used a database before at a previous organization and was in the market to get one for us.”
“We wanted a database that could keep track of donations, personal information about each donor and follow-up reminders."
“With Bloomerang, I can successfully manage our annual fund while, at the same time, track helpful information on major donor prospects for our capital campaign.”
“We use Bloomerang to track our donations, run letters, keep membership records, enter in attendances, run reports, and generate letters. The conversion from our old database was simple because they came to our office to help and walked us through everything. After they left they were readily available via phone, chat, or email and were very responsive.”
“Overall, our experience with Bloomerang has been very positive.”
“Originally, I liked that Bloomerang was compatible with my website and how easy it is to use. But what continued to impress me was the training and webinars offered, not just on how to use the system but ways to be a better fundraiser – you even have the Comm Audit Tool built inside your thank you letter! Plus, Bloomerang continues to evolve, take subscribers’ needs into consideration, and offer new products, some free of charge.”
“We use Bloomerang for all CRM functions, donation tracking, grant tracking, interaction tracking, etc. We hope to use it to drive a new major gift program.”
