A unified platform that turns one-time gifts into lasting community support, automates the work your volunteer team doesn't have time for, and gives every donor relationship a single, accurate home.
"What I would much prefer is to have one place we can go for everything. I want to centralize all of our information. I want one system, one team, one place to go."
Tyler Schoen, Development CoordinatorThe foundation is succeeding by every measure that counts. The infrastructure underneath it hasn't caught up yet, and the longer that's true, the more momentum gets lost to manual work.
Anedot is a payment processor, not a CRM. Donor records, follow-up, and stewardship live in spreadsheets, and every action takes a volunteer's evening.
With ~200 records and a new B2B push starting, this is the smallest the migration will ever be. Waiting six months means three times the data to move.
One platform purpose-built for nonprofits. CRM, donations, email, automation, and AI, all under a single login, one bill, one support team.
We've narrowed the choice down to two real options. They look comparable on paper. The day-to-day reality is very different.
Conservative projections modeled against the foundation's stated goals. Move the sliders to match your assumptions and the numbers update live.
At the foundation's current pace of $500,000 raised annually, a 50% lift translates to $250,000 in additional revenue per year. That is the conservative-showcase tier of Bloomerang customers. The top 20% see 103% growth per year, roughly half a million dollars more on the same baseline.
The calculator above stays anchored to industry averages (the ~11% baseline) so the floor is clear. The figures here represent what is achievable when the platform is fully adopted, with retention compounding year over year.
Three categories of loss that don't appear on any spreadsheet, but compound every month the foundation stays on the bolted-together stack.
~5 hours/week on manual data entry, receipts, follow-up, and segmentation. Across the year, 260 hours of volunteer time you can't get back.
Industry-average donor retention is ~45%. Bloomerang customers average 58%. Without automated stewardship, you give back 13 points of retention on every dollar raised.
No recurring giving prompts, no Smart Amounts, no journey automations. Conservative estimate: 20% of the $80,000 goal harder to reach without the infrastructure.
A direct mapping from what's breaking down today to the Bloomerang feature that solves it. Nothing aspirational, only what's included on day one.
Anedot captures payments but not history. Every donor profile, follow-up, and note is manual. There's no single source of truth.
Every email, donation, event, and interaction logs to one record automatically. DonorSearch wealth screening included for individual prospects.
Receipts are sent manually. New donors don't enter a welcome flow. Lapsed donors aren't re-engaged. Every step depends on volunteer hours.
Up to 3 active sequences. Welcome flows, renewal asks, and lapsed-donor outreach run on schedule. Open/click analytics on every send.
Anedot supports monthly donations technically, but there's no prompt on the form, no journey automation, no easy management of failed payments.
Smart Amounts adjust based on donor capacity. Monthly prompts are visually anchored. Failed-payment retry built in. Average recurring gift on Bloomerang forms: $108.
The new push toward local-business sponsorships has no place to track prospects, log calls, or segment outreach. It'll all happen in a spreadsheet.
Corporate sponsors get the same 360° record as individuals. Built-in task reminders, pipeline tracking, and unlimited custom segmentation.
To answer "how are we doing?" someone has to pull a CSV, drop it into a spreadsheet, and build the view by hand. Every time.
Donor retention wheel, top-5 call list, and scheduled reports out of the box. Ask Penny in plain English to build any custom report from scratch.
Any system that requires training, configuration, or technical maintenance becomes a burden. The team will avoid using it.
Phone, chat, and email support. Dedicated Onboarding Specialist for setup. Self-paced training modules and daily live webinars at no extra cost.
Two organizations whose situations rhyme with yours: disaster-driven surge in giving, volunteer-led teams, deep community ties.
When Hurricane Helene flooded Brother Wolf's shelter, the team rallied on Bloomerang's flexible donation forms within days. Bloomerang gave them the infrastructure to capture, steward, and convert one-time crisis donors into long-term supporters, turning a disaster moment into sustainable revenue.
