The fragmented stack problem

Five tools. Zero integration.
One overwhelmed team.

Without Bloomerang, Iron Butterfly Foundation needs separate systems for every function. None of them talk to each other.

The cost of doing nothing

What staying on spreadsheets costs Iron Butterfly.

None of this requires a mistake. It's just the current cost of running two programs by hand.

Missed major gifts

Without visibility into what a donor already gives elsewhere, asks default to guesswork, often well under what they could actually give.

$15,000+/yr left on the table

Manual admin across two programs

Every fiscal sponsorship adds another set of spreadsheets to reconcile by hand, time that should go to donor relationships instead.

~30 hrs/month in manual work

Donors who quietly lapse

Without automatic card and address updates, recurring donors drop off before anyone notices they're gone.

What's included

Every tool Iron Butterfly Foundation needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Built for a small team running more than one fundraising program at once.

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

How growing nonprofits use tags

One donor base, many programs, zero confusion.

Nonprofits that take on fiscal sponsorships or run more than one program use Bloomerang's group and campaign tags to keep every donor base separate, without a second system or a second bank account.

The result

The result: one system, unlimited programs.

Programs and campaigns tracked in one database

The transformation

Iron Butterfly Foundation: before and after.

Without Bloomerang

⚠️Donor data spread across Excel, Stripe, and Donorbox with no single source of truth
⚠️Every major gift ask is a guess, with no visibility into what a donor gives elsewhere
⚠️Manually fixing formatting issues, like miscapitalized names, by hand
⚠️No way to separate Iron Butterfly's own donors from a sponsored program's donors
⚠️Card and address updates tracked manually, recurring donors quietly lapse

With Bloomerang

βœ…Every donor, gift, and communication in one Bloomerang record
βœ…Penny and PredictAI surface the optimal ask amount before every conversation
βœ…Penny automatically corrects formatting issues like miscapitalized names
βœ…Tags and campaign groups keep Iron Butterfly's giving and each fiscal sponsorship fully separate
βœ…Automatic card and address updates catch lapses before they happen
