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."

“It’s less time consuming to enter a new constituent into Bloomerang than it was in Access – I’d say it’s cut the process in half. Also, we were excited to find out that we could change out our donor credit card processor to Stripe and all the information would go directly to Bloomerang. Instead of us having to get a receipt and then enter everything.”

“With Bloomerang, we found it was very intuitive in all aspects of running the development operations and tracking our financial performance. It works wonderfully and covers all the major areas that we need to address to help us grow. It suits our purposes very well.”

“I’m the Assistant Director of Development and Marketing at the Mental Health Association of Frederick County (MHA) with my main focus on development. MHA builds a strong foundation of emotional wellness for the whole community by preparing resilient children, securing vulnerable families, and standing with people to face crises together. We’ve had a fantastic experience with Qgiv’s auction platform. Every year, we host a gala and live auction with over 500 attendees (this year is the 26th year). Having everything in one platform makes tracking and follow-up so simple. Our last gala was incredibly successful—we raised a net of approximately $200,000 between sponsorships, a live appeal, and a live auction, all run through Qgiv. We exceeded our goal AND raised more than we ever have when compared to previous years! Qgiv keeps us organized with registration, checkout, detailing the auction packages, and more. Being able to enter different packages and share the links directly is super helpful not only for me, but also for our attendees and sponsors. This was our first year using Givi, but it’s already been a great experience too, and our attendees are excited about the event and auction packages. Ogiv has also improved our cultivation and stewardship of event attendees because we know if they gave during the event. Additionally, the integration with Bloomerang, which is SO SIMPLE and effective, helped us capture more attendee details, which makes it easy to convert them into donors that night or in the months following. It’s such a win for our organization! We’ve been able to effectively mine data between the two platforms, and that’s enabled us to better segment our fundraising appeals and strategize future fundraising goals. Both platforms are user-friendly, and I recommend Qgiv and Bloomerang to all my fundraising pals! In addition to Qgiv’s auction platform, being able to create a special giving form for third-party events and fundraisers is one of my favorite Qgiv features. It’s so easy to do, and donors love it. For example, we had donors who were getting married, and instead of a registry, they asked friends and family to give to a few of their favorite nonprofits. We were able to create a special landing page and giving form just for them! Qgiv’s support and resources—including the monthly newsletter, various email communications, and webinars—have also been so helpful. I love that Qgiv offers webinars at all levels of knowledge. There are some bits and pieces of the platform I only use once a year, so having videos and articles about how to do those things that are easily searchable in the Help Desk is extremely helpful. I’ve also had amazing experiences with the Customer Experience team. The support staff are always so kind and really take their time walking through an issue or question with me, and I know I can call back if I haven’t quite gotten the hang of something. Qgiv has truly exceeded my expectations. Between Qgiv’s capabilities, data collection, and support staff, it’s been wonderful! I’ve worked in fundraising/development for 10 years now, and Qgiv may be the most user-friendly platform I’ve ever used.”

"Words cannot even begin to describe how superior Bloomerang’s reporting features are to Blackbaud’s. Gone are the days of me wasting two hours to pull a monthly reconciliation report or online donations report. With Bloomerang, I can take care of these tasks in a matter of minutes. Our team is exponentially happier that everything is so simple now."

"If you’re looking to grow your donor base, stay organized, and build stronger relationships, I’d definitely recommend giving Bloomerang and Qgiv a try!"

“The customer support teams within Qgiv and Bloomerang are an amazing resource. They are the BEST.”

"The fiscal year donor retention rate is at 43%, and that’s 3% higher than the national average. These numbers not only reflect our financial growth but also show that we’re building meaningful relationships with our supporters."

"One thing I really love about using Bloomerang Generosity Scores is I can get a feel for someone by looking at the kinds of donations they've made in the past."

"For us, donor relations used to be just input and output. Now with Bloomerang and Qgiv constantly updating the system, it’s constantly making things better for somebody on the development side whose mind is working a million miles a minute."

"Bloomerang reporting tools let us see our progress in real time, adjust our strategies accordingly, and set more ambitious goals."

"Once we’d updated our data processes, we were running at a 55% donor retention rate. Now we’re sitting at 58%!”

“I love being able to schedule reports and get the insights delivered right to my inbox. With Bloomerang, I don’t have to think about these things. They’re there when I need them.”

“This 15% increase in donations through Bloomerang has set a new benchmark for us, one we’re committed to meeting or exceeding annually.”
