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."

"We use [Bloomerang] to track all of our donations, pull reports, year-end tax letters. This year it took about 20 minutes, whereas in 2021 it took 4 hours."

"Through my one and a half years with Bloomerang, I’ve experienced little difficulty. Bloomerang is intuitive, easy to learn and use, visual, and well-formatted. Make an effort to get lost in the process from the very beginning, so you can find your way out – as best you can – on your own."

"InitLive has transformed the way we manage staff for our 150 baseball tournaments. We now save hours of manual work as we schedule and communicate with staff using InitLive. It adds a new level of organization and preparedness for our tournament directors."

"I used InitLive for an event where we had over 200 volunteers and found that this system worked perfectly to keep our volunteers on task. The best part is that is calculated all of their hours "worked" so we could keep track of who could receive a discount on their registration for the event. Also, the customer service is awesome! They are always on standby to help and can answer all questions!"

"The InitLive volunteer management platform gave us a highly intuitive and easy-to-use application that allowed us to map out our event requirements and register and assign our volunteers with a few simple, short steps. It completely eliminated the spreadsheet stress we would otherwise have had."

"Having worked with other platforms, InitLive offers the best flexibility to be as simple or complex as I need it to be when managing our volunteers. We have grown from managing 200 to 800 volunteers; InitLive makes everything more efficient. I don't have to read through 800 or 1,000 volunteer applications - I can simply filter by requirement on InitLive. It saves a lot of time."

"InitLive's mobile app made it really easy to communicate with volunteers and know who is who; it allowed volunteer coordinators to do the same thing as well."

“Using InitLive, our staffing costs have gone down. The work takes less time and can be done remotely.”

“Our donor retention is slightly above the national average; we appreciate the part Bloomerang plays in the acknowledgement process and believe this plays into retention in a big way.”

"InitLive helps us maintain a high-quality volunteer database. We can connect the right volunteers to the right opportunities and ensure that our partner events are supported with qualified staff.”

"We love to use the communication tools within Bloomerang, specifically the Ahern Audit, not only in our thank you letters but our e-newsletters and even our mission statement. An executive director is juggling many balls throughout the day, and we never have enough time in the day. So to be able to go into the system and have it be so user friendly is very welcoming."

“The interface is very user-friendly and is geared towards retention, which is particularly helpful in our organization. Because of the ease of use, we’ve probably used Bloomerang more in the past 30 days than we used our old database over four years. This is a good product because the layout is very user-friendly without being too simple. Bloomerang is designed in a way that makes me want to use it.”

"Bloomerang has been a really great partner in our fundraising efforts. We can shoot an email off to our representative and get a response back really quickly. Since we began using Bloomerang about two years ago, our constituent database has doubled."
