From spreadsheets to a
giving program that grows.

One platform for donor records, online giving, monthly donors, events, and prospect research, built to launch ahead of Giving Tuesday and carry momentum into the Amazing Give in April.

Business objective

$15,000 next year, with a stretch goal of $20,000 to $25,000

Up from about $10,000 raised online this year, and the first step toward diversifying beyond grant funding so NHDC's programs have steady, unrestricted support.

Your Mission, Multiplied

Since 1982, NHDC has helped families in Alachua, Levy, Marion, and surrounding counties buy, keep, and afford a home, through homebuyer education, pre-purchase counseling, foreclosure intervention, and the 62-unit Deer Creek Senior Housing community. Here is how extra capacity can build on that.

A 47% lift on the roughly $10,000 raised online this year adds about $4,700, nearly all of the $5,000 gap between this year and the $15,000 goal.

About 10 hours back each month, time your team can put toward grant writing and the new monthly giving program instead of one-by-one emails and spreadsheet upkeep.

Why now

Giving Tuesday is December 1.

NHDC wants its new system live in time for Giving Tuesday, which warms up the donor base ahead of the Amazing Give in April. With a modest, clean list of about 100 donors, a self-import can get the account ready quickly.

Why change

Spreadsheets cannot build a donor base.

Today the CFO's spreadsheet records the name of the giver and the amount, online gifts and events run through separate tools, and DonorPerfect proved cumbersome enough that people stopped using it. NHDC needs a system the whole team will actually open.

Why Bloomerang

One easy system for donors, events, and prospects.

Bloomerang brings online giving, recurring gifts, automated thank-you journeys, ticketing and auctions, and prospect research into one record for each supporter, with a QuickBooks integration your CFO will appreciate.

The fragmented stack problem

Five tools. Zero integration.
One overwhelmed team.

Giving that never grows

A 47% lift on $10,000 in online giving is money NHDC does not capture without a system built to steward donors.

$4,700 a year

Monthly donors never built

Converting 20 supporters to $10 a month builds a steady base that carries NHDC between events.

$2,400 a year

Hours lost to manual work

Ten hours a month at $25 an hour goes to one-by-one emails and spreadsheet upkeep instead of grants and donors.

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

A peer on a giving day

Boise Bicycle Project moved to Bloomerang and put its giving day to work.

Duplicate records, disorganized contact data, and an interface that felt too complex had made meaningful donor work nearly impossible. Bloomerang gave the team one clear place to manage donors and gifts.

The result

A giving day with a matching gift.

$130,000

raised across 525 donors during Idaho Gives, powered by a $50,000 matching gift

Processing that volume of donation data, which would have taken hours of manual entry, took just minutes. The team also reached a 50% donor retention rate.
