Prepared for CDM Foundation · July 13, 2026
CDM Foundation runs on a team of volunteers with full time jobs. Your platform should make that easier, not harder.
"The systems that have been in place for years and years just don’t serve the purpose anymore."Dani Gold, Foundation Board of Directors, CDM Foundation
The fragmented stack problem
Without Bloomerang, CDM Foundation needs separate systems for every function. None of them talk to each other.
Interactive ROI calculator
Seeded with CDM Foundation's actual numbers. Adjust to match your goals.
The cost of doing nothing
These numbers move with the calculator above. The real cost isn’t the subscription, it’s what stays uncaptured every year you wait.
Major gift prospects that never get identified or asked, because nothing in DonorPerfect is watching for them.
The gap between what CDM Foundation raises today and what Bloomerang customers see on average, left uncaptured every year you stay.
Time your board spends untangling reports and manual entry instead of donors, members, and the mission.
What's included
Built so a volunteer board can run it. No coder required.
Up to 5,000 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.
Sell tickets, take RSVPs, and every registrant flows straight into a donor profile. No spreadsheet imports, no duplicate records to clean up after the party.
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 CDM 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.
Meet Penny

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 similar switch
When Becca Gray’s team moved off their old system, the fit was obvious from the first demo. Reporting that used to take a coder now takes a few clicks, and the team stopped managing software and got back to the mission.
The result
of Bloomerang customers renew every year
That renewal rate holds across small, volunteer run organizations and large development teams alike. The fit tends to last.
