Prepared for Discipleship Plus Inc · September 25, 2026

More Time for Ministry.
More Resources for Growth.

A plan to consolidate five disconnected tools into one platform, so your team spends less time on admin and more time changing lives through basketball and discipleship.

Business objective

Reach $225,000 in annual giving to expand community ministry

Hitting this goal means more gym space, more coaches and volunteers, and more kids reached through basketball and Bible study in one of the most influential communities in Dallas.

Your Mission, Multiplied

Discipleship Plus Inc has been sharing the gospel through athletics since 1993, and since restarting operations in Texas, the ministry has grown from a handful of families to nearly 500 participants. That growth happened on faith and word of mouth alone. With the right platform handling the administrative side, the same energy that built this ministry can now be focused entirely on expanding it.

Projected fundraising lift: Based on Bloomerang client averages, a 47% increase applied to your current donated revenue of roughly $90,000 would add approximately $42,300 in Year One, nearly enough to cover the cost of another season of basketball programming.

Time reinvested: Consolidating five separate tools into one platform is projected to save roughly 10 hours per month in administrative work, time Steve can redirect to coaching, donor meetings, and community outreach.

Why now

The ministry has outgrown its tools.

Discipleship Plus has grown from 50 donors and $85,000 in annual revenue to nearly 500 participants and a $225,000 goal. A donor told Steve directly: you need to let somebody else handle the fundraising so you can focus on the kids. The current tech stack can't keep up with where the ministry is headed.

Why change

Five tools, zero integration.

Steve's data lives across Jotform, Square, QuickBooks, GiveTransform, and Constant Contact. None of them talk to each other. There's no centralized database, no way to print mailing labels from one place, and support from the current giving platform takes five days for a phone callback.

Why Bloomerang

One platform built to grow with you.

CRM, email marketing, giving pages, wealth screening, QuickBooks sync, and AI donor insights, all under one roof. Phone support with a 97% pickup rate. And a system Steve can hand to his staff and volunteers without being the bottleneck.

The fragmented stack problem

Five tools. Zero integration.
One overwhelmed team.

Without Bloomerang, Discipleship Plus Inc needs separate systems for every function. None of them talk to each other.

The cost of doing nothing

Every month without a system costs more than you think.

These aren't hypothetical numbers. They're based on what Discipleship Plus is already experiencing.

Lost donor revenue

Without lapse prediction, if just 10 donors quietly stop giving at an average of $300 each, that is $3,000 in revenue that disappears before anyone notices. The industry recapture rate after a full year of inactivity is just 4%.

$3,000/yr

Undersized major gift asks

Steve's zip code sits in one of the highest socioeconomic areas in Dallas. Without wealth screening, asks are based on guesswork. Even one ask that comes in $2,000 below a donor's real capacity is $2,000 left on the table.

$2,000+

Administrative time drain

Managing five disconnected tools costs at least 10 hours per month in duplicate data entry, manual exports, and reconciliation. At $30/hr, that's $3,600 per year in staff time that could go directly to ministry.

What nonprofits say

They were new once, too.

"We did a Bloomerang demo and I was like, 'This is it.' It has everything we want, everything we'll need in the future. It's so intuitive, and the onboarding process was very seamless."
Becca Gray, Pensacola Habitat for Humanity
"Bloomerang is one of the best giving platforms I've ever seen. It makes it so easy to run everything from peer to peer fundraising, to transaction reports, to event check in."
Beth Hill, Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine
"We did our due diligence looking at other CRMs, but Bloomerang was the clear winner. With Bloomerang, I feel like we're finally running the department the way it should be run."
Julie Angulo, ScholarMatch

A similar journey

From spreadsheets to strategy.

Like Discipleship Plus, many small faith-based nonprofits come to Bloomerang managing donors across scattered tools, with no centralized database and no way to identify who might give more. The common thread: a passionate leader spending hours on admin instead of mission work.

The result

The Bloomerang difference.

47%

Average increase in funds raised by active Bloomerang users

Organizations that fully adopt Bloomerang see a 47% average increase in fundraising within one to two years. First-time donor retention among top users reaches 47%, compared to an industry average of about 19%.

Industry recommended range

Industry guidance recommends allocating 1 to 3% of annual fundraising revenue to technology, and 3 to 5% of total operating budget. According to NTEN, 45% of nonprofits report underspending on technology, with 77% citing budget as the barrier. At $3,899, Discipleship Plus lands right in the healthy range for an organization your size, and this investment replaces four or five separate tools you are already paying for today.

Why organizations stay

94% of Bloomerang customers renew, among 26,000+ nonprofits.

It's not because they're locked in. It's because the system works, and the team behind it genuinely wants nonprofits to succeed. When you thrive, we thrive.
