Prepared for The Center for Empowerment and Education · September 18, 2026
One platform for every donor,
every event, every goal.
The Center for Empowerment and Education has served over 30,000 individuals annually for nearly 50 years. Bloomerang brings your donor management, fundraising events, and communications into one connected platform so your team can focus on expanding your mission.
Business objective
Improve donor retention 10 to 15%, recover 20% of lapsed donors, and reach 3+ touchpoints for 90% of your donor base.
Fund the expansion of CEE's prevention education program, the one area of your mission that has been consistently underfunded despite the growing need.
Your Mission, Multiplied
Since 1975, CEE has been the sole provider of domestic violence and sexual assault services across Northern Fairfield and Southern Litchfield Counties, serving 11 communities with 24/7 crisis support, shelter, counseling, and prevention education. The extra capacity Bloomerang creates builds directly on that foundation.
Revenue impact: Ten new major gift donors at $5,000 or more each year is $50,000 in new annual revenue, enough to begin meaningfully expanding prevention education staffing and programming.
Time impact: Eliminating the manual reconciliation between GiveSmart and Panorama, the Excel workaround for donor notes, and the one-by-one donation review process gives the team back hours each week for stewardship, cultivation, and direct service.
Why now
A growing team with growing ambitions
The development team is actively expanding, with a new part-time development assistant position on the horizon. CEE's strategic plan sets specific three-year targets for retention, major gifts, monthly giving, and event revenue. The current technology stack cannot support those goals, and every month spent reconciling disconnected systems is a month the new plan falls behind.
Why change
Five platforms, zero connection
Panorama's notes push older information down the page, forcing the team to maintain a separate Excel spreadsheet. Duplicate records from name variants require manual deletion and re-entry of gifts. Running a report to distinguish donations from sponsorships from ad purchases means reviewing hundreds of event transactions by hand. And none of the five current platforms talk to each other.
Why Bloomerang
One connected platform built for your goals
Bloomerang consolidates donor management, event fundraising, peer-to-peer campaigns, auctions, and communications into a single system. Donor intelligence surfaces major gift candidates and lapse risks automatically. Every event donation, sponsorship, and ad purchase flows directly into the CRM with the correct allocation, no manual reconciliation required.
