Prepared for Louisiana Pediatric Cardiology Foundation · September 30, 2026
25 years of healing hearts.
Now, a system to match the mission.
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
A leadership transition demands a real system.
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
Spreadsheets can't find your next major donor.
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
One platform. New donors. Day-one readiness.
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.
