"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 for all CRM functions, donation tracking, grant tracking, interaction tracking, etc. We hope to use it to drive a new major gift program.”
“Multiple people are now able to use the system whereas beforehand the system was so complicated only one person was able to use it. We were also able to clean up much of the data.”
“Our staff can now track every interaction we have with donors, prospects, and volunteers. For an agency that is young in its fundraising efforts, this has been a critical improvement that is helping us build long term relationships with supporters."
“I would recommend it as a solid CRM choice among a very competitive field.”
“Bloomerang is user-friendly, helpful, and constantly changing for the better. They listen to their users and are always there when you need them. My job is easier because of Bloomerang and they have made our organization much stronger both financially and in terms of overall legitimacy.”
"We need to continue to fill Bloomerang with data that tells us everything we need to know about our constituents, and use that info smartly. Bloomerang lets us house all this info in one place.”
“Great product, works well every time I need to access. The support team is responsive and very helpful. Since using Bloomerang, we are more seamless with donor records which has improved our accuracy and efficiency.”
“Bloomerang is user-friendly and the support is of the highest caliber. I’ve used two other development softwares and like Bloomerang the best.”
“Donor retention and dollars raised have both increased since switching to Bloomerang. The increase in our donor retention rate has been the most notable because this metric gives the Board very tangible data that they can use to identify donors they need to connect with.”
"Great job on continual improvement and your friendly, knowledgeable, helpful customer service team.”
“The previous development staff member and CEO were drawn to Bloomerang because it was a relatively new company, excited about fundraising, pitched an effective overview of services provided, and was affordable.”
“We are very pleased with our switch to Bloomerang and we even have the President of our school easily and directly adding his donor engagement notes to the donor record immediately after his visit. This is something he did not do when we were with Blackbaud because of how complicated and cumbersome the process was.”
“Bloomerang is much more than a donor database. In Montessori terms, it is an approach that values the development of the whole. Similar to the Montessori tenets of a thoughtfully prepared learning environment, the software has been thoughtfully prepared to allow for adaptation to individual’s (or perhaps organization’s) uniqueness. That is why it works so well for us.”
