"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."
"Once we’d updated our data processes, we were running at a 55% donor retention rate. Now we’re sitting at 58%!”
"Bloomerang has all the features we want and need for a price point that is doable. Plus, the native dashboard alerts help you focus on donor retention and engagement. You’ll spend less time on data management, and more time getting to know your donors."
“Before we started using Bloomerang, our fundraising was disorganized, unfocused and left a ton of money on the table. Now that everything is housed in this system, we can easily access everything we need in one place and better hone our pitch to prospective donors.”
“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.”
“Bloomerang is user friendly and we all have access to it. It plays nice with accounting systems so there is far less double entry. It is great to be able to generate reports on lapsed donors and follow up with them. Bloomerang is great because it doesn’t have all the extra ‘stuff’ many management systems have- we only want a donor management system and that is what we got. Therefore it is pretty affordable.”
“It is night and day from our old system. With the focus on donors, it makes everyone’s life easier. Price point is just right.”
"Bloomerang continues to evolve and add new functions and features based on user feedback."
"Bloomerang is the perfect tool for our all volunteer organization. Quick learn for."
"LOVE Bloomerang. We were without a donor database prior to it, and now I don't."
"Beautiful reports and very quick learning curve. Your FAQ and self help section are."
“I was actually expecting pain and agony for this conversion – I’ve done a number of migrations to other platforms and I truly expected it to be much worse than it was! Our Project Manager made it the easiest possible migration ever.”
“The experience wasn’t what I was expecting at all! I assumed it would take much longer than it did. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome of the conversion process.”
“We were really attracted to the Bloomerang tool because of the focus around donor loyalty, and for the ability for us to look at other qualitative factors in addition to just frequency and amount of giving.”
