Bloomerang:Donor Retention

Chances are you think ways your organization can increase donor retention every single day. Bloomerang wants to help you decrease donor attrition and increase revenue. Bloomerang describes its core purpose as helping non-profits improve donor retention, fundraising, loyalty, and engagement.


Bloomerang is a cloud-based donor retention system that offers unlimited users and is mobile friendly. If you currently use a donor management or fundraising software system, you can migrate your existing information to the Bloomerang platform. 

Since the program is designed specifically to help non-profits retain donors each time you log into Bloomerang, you will be presented with your overall donor retention rate. 

You can use Bloomerang to create comprehensive donor reports and even view past interactions via a graphical timeline. DonorSearch integration uses information from 25 public and proprietary databases so you create a report on the constituent’s wealth and history of philanthropic giving. The in-depth information helps you formulate ask amounts and identify an engagement strategy. You can even export data for further analytics.

In addition to donor retention, you can use Bloomerang to process credit card payments by choosing to add either Stripe or BluePay to your account. 

Both Stripe and BluePay let your organization process credit card donations and recurring donations from within Bloomerang or from the Bloomerang widget or reuse stored credit cards for new donations.

Stripe requires no monthly fee and has a per transaction fee. BluePay has a $50 annual fee and a per transaction fee, but only BluePay can process EFT donations and reuse stored EFT information. 

Bloomerang makes it easy to export your information to QuickBooks with the QuickBooks Exporter.  The exporter includes a way to filter the transaction so you can select exactly which transaction you want to export to QuickBooks. 

If your organization has a Fundly account, you can sync that with your Bloomerang system. All your Fundly information including supporters, email, donors and amounts donated are transferred between systems. 

Bloomerang is a subscription-based service and rates depend on the number of records you have.  For example, 0-1000 records is $99/month, while 25001-40000 records is $499/month. 

Use Bloomerang to create emails and direct mail that are targeted specifically to each unique donor. 

Bloomerang lets you send five times as many emails as you have records. Purchase an additional 10,000 emails for $10 or 100,000 emails for $95. Unlimited users and free email/online support come standard with every plan.
