Bloomerang

What Bloomerang is

Bloomerang is software for nonprofit fundraising, donor management, and volunteer engagement. Its Giving Platform brings these areas together, with fundraising tools for online donations, events, text fundraising, auctions, and peer-to-peer campaigns. The CRM supports donor management, predictive giving insights, supporter journeys, email, reporting, and data management. Volunteer tools cover recruitment, scheduling, messaging, screening, and attendance tracking, with mobile apps for volunteers and their managers. Product pages also list apps for fundraisers and donors.

The platform is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with an API. Named integrations include Dataro, QuickBooks, DonorSearch, Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Amilia, and Verified First; Bloomerang also describes connections through Zapier. Donation payment options include Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, and Venmo. Bloomerang says it uses access controls and audit logs and is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and PCI DSS compliant. Support includes onboarding and data conversion, in-app education, weekly courses, an annual customer conference, a knowledge base, and phone, email, and live chat. Plans are billed annually, starting at $40 a month for Fundraising, which must be purchased with CRM.

Who it suits

Bloomerang suits nonprofits that want fundraising, donor records, and volunteer coordination in one platform. It may fit organizations that need tools such as online donation forms, supporter communications, reporting, or volunteer scheduling, alongside mobile apps and integrations.
