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’re going to continue to steward our existing donors through the education, ask and thank process. I would love to see our donor retention climb over 50% as our next goal!”

“My school has been using the base package of Raiser’s Edge for about 15 years. We needed something that produced more accurate reports and provided us better donor cultivation and stewardship opportunities.”

“We now use Bloomerang for all mailing both regular mail and electronic. Each week throughout the school year we send an e-newsletter to our alumni and through the program we can track reads and responses. As a result we are now able to do segmented emails and letters to constituents in our database with ease.”

“Bloomerang has helped us manage a 10% growth rate for 3 years running. Many factors play into that growth, but managing our constituents is a key factor. Our donor retention rate hovers around 20% higher than the industry average, and we can attribute some of that to Bloomerang.”

“Bloomerang helps us ensure that our donors are thanked and appreciated, and helps us reach out to donors who have dropped off. We use it to generate receipts with a message.”

“[We wanted something] affordable for an organization needing to grow a donor list from scratch.”

“We really wanted something that would break down our donor information, something that allowed us to choose what information we were collecting and customize our system as we go. We didn’t want to commit to something now that wouldn’t work for us down the line, especially considering how difficult the transition process can be.”

“I was originally drawn to the lower price packages that were available for a small organization like G7D. I also liked that the system looked easy to use since I would be doing all the updates. Now that I am using Bloomerang, what I love the most is the support! I often use the chat support and get help very quickly. I have also watched and read many online tutorials. Even more amazing is all the webinars that teach invaluable lessons on using the software.”

“We were looking for something easy to use, easy to pull data out of and something that tracked everything we needed.”

“We’re incredibly happy with both our Bloomerang and Qgiv experiences. Qgiv’s flexible options for standard donations, peer-to-peer, and auctions make it a fantastic partner for Bloomerang since all of those aspects are part of our overall fundraising strategy. We particularly love Qgiv’s integration with Bloomerang! The custom mappings for each Qgiv donation, event, peer-to-peer, and auction page make sure our donation information is automatically imported into the correct fund, campaign, and appeal in Bloomerang. This helps streamline our fundraising processes and makes us more efficient, but most importantly helps us focus our attention on our donor relationships and stewardship within Bloomerang. One big reason I’m such a fan of both companies is the extraordinary customer service and communication from both Qgiv and Bloomerang. It makes a big difference and has helped to shape our overwhelmingly positive experiences.”

“We wanted to be able to keep track of all communication with a donor, we wanted the system to be customizable to gather the information that we wanted about our listeners and give us the ability to know how best to meet their needs. We wanted to be able to track giving trends and generate reports based not only standard information but our custom information as well. We wanted to be able to make custom receipts for multiple projects and be able to include graphics when applicable. Email integration was also an important feature for us to have better communication with our donors. And finally being able to have multiple staff members have access to the database to get the information they need for their specific job applications.”

“I am a brand new Development Coordinator transitioning from a Sales CRM system to the Non-profit, donor-management system and industry as a whole. I am so grateful to have you as my virtual experts and educators and have not had this level of excitement.”

“I just used one of the new templates and am already having donors schedule 15-minute coffee chat. Love it and am so grateful for the thoughtful templates that make something like this just a little easier. Thank you!”
