"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."

“In April of 2020, we were set to host our first fundraising event of the year, ArtFeast9. The annual auction is typically in person and showcases many local artists’ work and features food vendors. Due to COVID-19, the live event was cancelled. After some brainstorming, we came up with the idea of hosting a virtual live auction. We were unsure of next steps, but thankfully our donor database software, Bloomerang, introduced us to Qgiv. Qgiv helped us keep our fundraising events going during COVID-19. The administrative team absolutely loves the automatic data transfer from Qgiv into Bloomerang; it makes for easy reporting and saves us from having to manually enter donation and registration data. We’re looking forward to using Qgiv at our upcoming Annual Golf Outing! We love the idea of guests being able to bid from wherever they are and not having to use paper bid sheets. We look forward to using the auction site during our future live events to make bidding and donating even easier! We really love the checkout portion of the auction site—it’s a huge time saver. Everybody can use their phones to view purchased items, and just like that, checkout is done! The time-saving aspect of Qgiv has been a huge improvement for us! Qgiv makes it easy to create and manage events, and their customer service is very good. They answer questions promptly and send instructions when you need help!”

“Since our data was added to Bloomerang, we spend less time searching for information or manually creating reports and more time on what truly matters – our constituents and more so, the children we serve.”

“It’s easy to use and a great stepping stone in getting your fundraising on track.”

“We’ve had a great experience with Bloomerang. The software has been very useful for tracking donations, thank you letters and reports. The customer service team has been so prompt and helpful. If we have needed help or had any questions we’ve been able to hit the help button and have received assistance almost immediately.”

“Because of the ease of use, our chapters are actually utilizing the database. In previous years, we had databases, but they were not being utilized to their fullest potential. So there is no point having a platform if it is so unusable that it sits there and has no purpose. We really have found nothing at this point that Bloomerang cannot do or accommodate for us.”

“I find Bloomerang to be very intuitive and powerful, and much more user-friendly than any of the other three other databases I’ve used in my development career.”

“I was finally able to access our database while traveling. For example, our old software required me to print out past contact reports as well as contact information for when I went on visits. After our switch, I am now able to call benefactors without even dialing their phone number! The constituent thermometer makes it very easy to see how connected each benefactor is.”

“Bloomerang is a perfect fit for small institutions like our K-12 academies because of its simplicity. Even for larger institutions like PUC, Bloomerang offers the flexibility and customization to handle our more complex processes. Put more simply, Bloomerang adapts to the institution it serves, meeting both user and infrastructural needs.”

“We don’t have the privilege of having someone who is just dedicated to doing the donor-management system for us. We needed flexibility, we needed ease of use, and the other thing that really was important to us was unlimited users. That’s something that we’ve really enjoyed and quite frankly, didn’t know that we would use a lot of, is the support that comes from using Bloomerang, or being a Bloomerang customer.”

“I have offered positive words to other Adventist entities thinking of switching to Bloomerang. Since I work at the world headquarters of our church, many Adventist visitors come through and I have explained to them why I like using Bloomerang.”

“Outreach uses the Bloomerang platform to really measure the engagement of an individual. So we’re able to see on that engagement meter where they are in their giving. We’re able to track that. We’re able to follow them. But really what it’s communicating is what’s making their heart sing. So we know when we send out a letter or a newsletter, what is their response. And so that’s a real nice feature for us to be able to see why they’re giving and how we can pursue that.”

“Awesome customer service through the entire sales, conversion, and training processes! Thank you!”

“Great database for nonprofits! Bloomerang is attractive, user friendly, and practical. I serve in a small, new nonprofit organization with a small budget. Bloomerang is perfect for us. The price point is much lower than any other CRM we researched. The support staff is excellent, easy to talk to, and easy to contact. They have video tutorials, live chat, and email support. It is also very easy to teach Bloomerang to folks new to CRM software. Everyone on our staff can (and does) use this software. Gift tracking is easy, and I love that when I run receipts for donations, a PDF of the letter automatically attaches to the donor. It makes my job much simpler, and working for a small shop, that makes all the difference for us. Bloomerang is, by far, the best database system I’ve used during my years in nonprofit.”
