Prepared for Interreligious Eco-Justice Network · November 4, 2026

From three spreadsheets
to one clear path to $300,000.

One system for houses of worship, clergy, volunteers, and donors, built around your goal and designed to give your two person team its time back.

Business objective

$300,000 by year end

It secures your annual budget, grows grants to houses of worship, funds more programs and speakers, and makes room for more staff hours and regional outreach coordinators.

Your Mission, Multiplied

You work with about 800 houses of worship across Connecticut on energy efficiency, clean energy, gardens, and advocacy, with a team of two. Here is how the extra capacity could build on that.

The ROI calculator projects a $94,000 fundraising lift at the 47% Bloomerang client average, nearly double the $50,000 you are aiming to add this year. That could mean more grants to houses of worship and more speaker fees for programs like Black History Month.

Roughly 8 hours back each month, about 96 hours a year, for time with clergy, volunteers, and major donors instead of hand checking spreadsheets.

Why now

Board vote on November 9, live by January 1.

Your $70,000 match is live and grant deadlines close in December and January. A board decision on November 9 puts you on track to be running in one system by January 1, 2027.

Why change

Your relationships deserve more than three spreadsheets.

Individuals, organizations, and donors live in separate files that are cleaned and checked by hand before every appeal, and the connections between clergy, lay leaders, and congregations live in memory.

Why Bloomerang

Built to track the way houses of worship actually work.

Custom fields link each person to their congregation and capture participation tiers and language. Built in email, Journey Automation, and predictive donor intelligence help you reach the right people with less manual work.

The fragmented stack problem

Five tools. Zero integration.
One overwhelmed team.

Without Bloomerang, Interreligious Eco-Justice Network needs separate systems for every function. None of them talk to each other.

The cost of doing nothing

What another appeal on spreadsheets costs.

Three numbers, all drawn from the calculator above.

Hours lost to hand checking

Every appeal list is cleaned and checked for duplicates by hand across three spreadsheets, time that could go to relationships.

$2,880 a year

Major donors never asked

With 1,500 to 2,000 people on your list and no screening, people who are ready to give are not being approached.

$10,000 left unasked

A lift left on the table

Bloomerang clients raise 47% more on average. Another year without a donor system keeps that lift out of reach.

Who should I reach out to first about a major gift this month?
Once your records are in Bloomerang, I can look at each supporter's giving history and activity and point you to the people most ready to hear from you, with a suggested ask and how to frame it.
Once your data is imported
$1,000
Sample ask for a 2,500 record organization
Write a thank you email for a congregation leader who just gave.
Happy to. I would reference their full history with the Interreligious Eco-Justice Network and the programs their house of worship has joined, not just today's gift, so the note feels personal.

What nonprofits say

They were new once, too.

"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
