Prepared for DC Parks Alliance · November 4, 2026

One home for every
neighborhood relationship.

Track neighborhood groups, founding donors, and communications in one system built for a small team that is just getting started.

Business objective

Secure founding donors to fund core operations

DC Parks Alliance launches in January with 6 employees in its first year and up to 10 staff.

Your Mission, Multiplied

DC Parks Alliance is bringing an alliance of smaller neighborhood groups across DC together under one network. Here is how the right system builds on that.

At the 1K record tier, identifying a single donor who gives at the $1,000 major gift level covers the annual cost of predictive donor intelligence.

Newsletters to different segments and individual emails live in the same system as your records, so there is no second tool to maintain.

Why now

A January launch needs a system running in weeks.

DC Parks Alliance launches in January and needs its CRM running in a few weeks, with 6 employees in the first year and up to 10 staff after that.

Why change

A Google Sheet will not hold a network.

Contacts live in a Google Sheet of about 15 names today, and the new website needs somewhere for interested people to land. A network of neighborhood groups plus founding donors needs both tracked in one place.

Why Bloomerang

Groups, donors, and communications in one system.

Bloomerang tracks neighborhood groups and donors in one database, supports major gifts and smaller individual gifts, and sends segmented newsletters and individual emails from the same place.

The fragmented stack problem

Five tools. Zero integration.
One overwhelmed team.

The cost of doing nothing

What a network without donor intelligence leaves behind.

Each figure below comes straight from the ROI calculator's starting values.

Major donors stay hidden

Without predictive scoring, donors ready for a major gift look like every other row in the database. At $5,000 per major gift, two missed prospects add up fast.

$10,000 in major gifts left unseen

Hours lost to manual work

Sorting lists, building segments, and moving contacts by hand takes time a small team does not have. Eight hours a month at $25 an hour is real money.

$2,400 a year in staff time

Lapsing donors go quiet

Once a donor lapses, the industry recapture rate is about 4%. Catching the signal early is the only reliable save.

Who should we approach first as a founding donor, and how much should we ask for?
I looked at giving history and engagement across your records and found your strongest first conversation. Here is a suggested starting ask.
