Prepared for Blast & Cast Men's Ministries Β· July 15, 2026

From five scattered tools
to one platform for the mission.

Blast & Cast is opening a ninth chapter in Alaska this year, while running QuickBooks, OneCause, Amplify, MailChimp, and PayPal to hold everything together. Bloomerang brings it into one home.

"We never get out of that hole because we don't have a CRM."
Joel Acay, Operations Director, Blast & Cast Men's Ministries

The fragmented stack problem

Five tools. Zero integration.
One overwhelmed team.

Without Bloomerang, Blast & Cast Men's Ministries needs separate systems for every function. None of them talk to each other.

The cost of doing nothing

What five separate systems are already costing Blast & Cast.

None of this shows up on a P&L line, but it is real money and real hours slipping through the cracks in today's stack.

Missed major gifts

With donors living in QuickBooks and Amplify, nothing is flagging who in the database can give at a higher level. Based on your major gift inputs, here is what is on the table.

$25,000

Manual work piling up

Reconciling OneCause, Amplify, QuickBooks, and PayPal into one report every week takes real hours away from donor relationships and chapter growth.

$13,000

The uncaptured 47% lift

Bloomerang clients average a 47% lift in giving once fully adopted. Every month on the current stack is a month that lift is not showing up in the gala or annual giving totals.

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 transition

Multi-chapter, mission driven organizations make this same move.

Organizations juggling a gala platform, a separate giving tool, and a spreadsheet in between usually land on Bloomerang for the same reason Blast & Cast might: one system that every chapter and every gift can live in.

The result

The result: one system, one team, more time for the mission.

47%

Average fundraising lift Bloomerang clients see

Less time reconciling platforms means more time on donor relationships, board reporting, and opening the next chapter.

The transformation

Blast & Cast Men's Ministries: before and after.

Without Bloomerang

⚠️Recurring gifts lost to expired cards, chased down manually
⚠️Gala checkout is a scramble of paper bid sheets and separate systems

With Bloomerang

βœ…One CRM with every gift, pledge, and interaction in one profile
βœ…Instant groups and segments for Texas, Louisiana, Florida, New Mexico, and Alaska
βœ…Every constituent scored for major gift potential, updated automatically
βœ…Card expiration handled automatically, no awkward follow up calls
βœ…One cart per guest, one checkout at the end of the night

Your investment
