Prepared for Louisiana Pediatric Cardiology Foundation Β· September 30, 2026
Bloomerang gives Louisiana Pediatric Cardiology Foundation the donor intelligence, peer-to-peer fundraising, and all-in-one platform to raise $100,000 more annually and set the next director up for day-one impact.
Business objective
Raise $100,000 more annually
Fund more travel grants for families whose children must travel to New Orleans (or out of state) for life-saving heart surgery, and sustain the free HeartScreen program for high school athletes.
Your Mission, Multiplied
Since 2001, LPCF has awarded $750,000 in grants to heart families and provided 12,500 free heart screens for high school athletes, confirmed to have saved at least three lives by detecting hypertrophic cardiomyopathy before it became fatal. The extra capacity Bloomerang would help create builds directly on that track record.
Projected fundraising lift of $136,770 in Year One. That is enough to fund roughly 55 additional family travel grants at the current $2,500 maximum, nearly doubling the number of families supported each year.
An estimated 10 hours per month of staff time recovered by eliminating manual spreadsheet management, hand-addressed mailings, and disconnected reporting. For a one-person operation preparing for a leadership transition, that is the equivalent of getting a part-time assistant.
Why now
Angelle Bourgeois is retiring in approximately one to two months and wants to leave a professional system in place for the incoming director. Acting now means the new director inherits a working CRM with 25 years of donor data already organized, not a spreadsheet only one person understands.
Why change
LPCF has managed all donor data in spreadsheets for 20 years with no CRM. Lapsed donors are invisible, reporting rarely happens because it is too cumbersome, and the annual giving campaign reaches 1,400 contacts but yields only 70 to 95 gifts per cycle. The foundation is working for its systems rather than the systems working for it.
Why Bloomerang
Peer-to-peer fundraising digitizes campaigns LPCF already runs and brings in new donors (60% of P2P donors are first-time givers nationally). Donor intelligence flags lapse risk and surfaces major gift prospects automatically. One platform replaces the spreadsheet, Constant Contact, and QuickBooks Desktop stack so the next director can run everything from day one.

"I don't run any reports. It's all up here. But that doesn't help the next person coming in because I've been around for so long."Angelle Bourgeois, Director of Operations, Louisiana Pediatric Cardiology Foundation
The fragmented stack problem
Without Bloomerang, Louisiana Pediatric Cardiology Foundation needs separate systems for every function. None of them talk to each other.

Move the slider to your record count. Any one of the three outcomes below covers the annual cost on its own, and most organizations reach all three.
How many outcomes does it take to cover the cost? Usually fewer than you'd think.
The cost of doing nothing
The real cost is not the subscription. It is what LPCF leaves on the table by staying on spreadsheets during a leadership transition.
Without lapse alerts, donors drop off silently. At a 4% recapture rate after a year, every month of delay means donors who will never come back. Even retaining 10 additional donors at $300 each is $3,000 per year in recovered giving.
Heart families are already fundraising for LPCF through social media. Every campaign run on Facebook means donor data sold to other nonprofits instead of captured in your CRM. Angelle confirmed this is already happening.
Without automatic credit card updates, 100% of recurring donors will eventually drop off when their cards expire. Even 10 recurring donors at $25 per month is $3,000 per year in giving that silently stops, and the new director would have to chase each one down manually to recover it.
What's included
Intelligent Giving Platform Pro, built to help LPCF find new donors through peer-to-peer, retain existing supporters with predictive intelligence, and give the next director a professional system from day one.
Up to 1,000 records, unlimited users, household tracking, soft credit attribution, pledge management, and in kind donation tracking, all in one profile.
Drag and drop email builder on the same engine as Mailchimp, plus up to 3 Journey Automations running simultaneously. No separate subscription. No integration to maintain.
Replace PayPal redirects with branded, embedded forms right on lpcf.com. Roughly 25% of donors prompted for recurring giving convert, and 80% cover processing fees when asked. Plus ticketing for Rhythm and Beats and every future event.
Prepare for donor meetings, identify major gift ask amounts, write personalized thank you emails, and prioritize the team's daily to do list, all powered by Louisiana Pediatric Cardiology Foundation's own data.
Charitable giving history and capacity indicators built into every donor profile. Know what to ask before walking into the room. Included, not an add on.
Automatic recurring card updates, first time donor flags, and lapsed donor identification, running in the background, always.

What nonprofits say
"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 peer story
Like LPCF, Pensacola Habitat was managing donor data across disconnected systems with no way to track engagement or retention in real time. They needed a platform their team could learn quickly and run without specialized IT support.
The result
Time to full adoption
After evaluating multiple CRMs, Pensacola Habitat chose Bloomerang for its intuitive design and seamless onboarding. The team was up and running immediately, with donor retention visible on the dashboard from the first login.

Angelle chose the Pro bundle as the primary recommendation for the board, with Standard as a fallback. Both include the Intelligent Giving Platform (predictive donor intelligence, Penny AI, and wealth screening).
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.
The path forward
A shared plan for Louisiana Pediatric Cardiology Foundation and Team Bloomerang, so nothing falls through the cracks between now and launch.
