Prepared for iTHINK Community Foundation · September 17, 2026
From $150K to $1 Million.
The infrastructure to get there.
A plan built around the iTHINK Community Foundation's three-year growth mandate, giving Cameron and the team the tools to turn 400 employees, regional events, and major gift relationships into the fundraising engine the foundation needs.
Business objective
Grow from $150K to $1 million in fundraising within three years
More school supplies, more scholarships, and deeper support for children and families across every community iTHINK Financial serves.
Your Mission, Multiplied
The iTHINK Community Foundation already equips over 1,000 kids each year through School Ready Days events, funds scholarships in Florida and Georgia, and partners with Habitat for Humanity to furnish homes for families in need. Every dollar raised and every hour freed up through better infrastructure builds directly on that work.
Projected fundraising lift of $82,250 in Year One (based on the 47% average Bloomerang clients see). That is more than half the distance from $150K to the $250K milestone Cameron needs to stay on pace for the $1 million target.
Roughly 15 hours back each month currently spent wrangling spreadsheets, manually tracking event donations, and assembling one-off email updates. That time goes directly into cultivating major gift relationships and launching the peer-to-peer campaigns Cameron described.
Why now
A new ED with a mandate and a clock.
Cameron Sisser is the first Executive Director the iTHINK Community Foundation has ever hired, with a board mandate to grow fundraising from roughly $150K to $1 million in three years. The foundation previously ran on employee volunteers and spreadsheets. The window to put real infrastructure in place is now, before the next round of regional events and giving-season campaigns.
Why change
Spreadsheets, a purchasing portal, and a team of one.
Donor data lives in disconnected spreadsheets with no unified view. The online donation page functions like retail purchasing software, sending "thank you for purchasing this item" receipts instead of donor-impact messaging. Communications go out once or twice a year via internal marketing and HR. Event donations from three regions are tracked manually through individual team leaders. None of this supports a 6x growth target.
Why Bloomerang
One platform. Every tool Cameron described needing.
Bloomerang consolidates the disconnected databases, replaces the clunky donation page with modern online giving, handles event registration and regional campaign tracking, adds built-in email communications, and includes peer-to-peer fundraising (the "branch battles" idea Cameron was excited about). Predictive donor intelligence surfaces major gift opportunities and lapse risks automatically, and Penny, the AI fundraising partner, works as the executive assistant Cameron described wanting.
