Bloomerang review
Bottom line
Bloomerang is a nonprofit CRM that combines donor records, online giving, events, and volunteer management on one supporter profile. Its clearest strength is unlimited users on the CRM plan, which keeps the cost predictable as staff and volunteer coordinators grow. The main cost to watch is that Bloomerang Fundraising only sells as part of a bundle with the CRM, and full Giving Platform pricing requires a quote. Nonprofits that want one connected system for fundraising and volunteers should evaluate it, while groups looking for a free plan will need to look elsewhere.
What is Bloomerang?
Bloomerang is nonprofit software that brings fundraising, donor management, and volunteer management into one web platform. It is built for nonprofit teams that track gifts, donor history, events, and volunteer hours in separate spreadsheets or tools, and it aims to show staff which supporters to contact next and what to say.
Day to day, staff keep gifts and donor history in a shared supporter database, and nightly data updates and duplicate matching help keep records clean. Donation forms support one-time and recurring giving with suggested amounts. Event tools handle registration, check-in, and ticketing, and text fundraising sends campaign reminders and follow-up. Predictive Donor Insights flags donors who may give again, upgrade, or start a monthly gift. Penny, the built-in AI assistant, drafts personalized outreach and prepares donor meeting briefs for staff to review before anything is sent. Dashboards and filterable reports track campaign results.
Nonprofits of many sizes use Bloomerang, and the vendor's stories feature schools, foundations, and animal clinics. Pricing is by product and billed annually. Bloomerang Fundraising starts at $40 per month, but it must be purchased as part of a bundle with Bloomerang CRM, which costs $125 per month. Bloomerang Volunteer is priced at $119. The CRM plan includes unlimited users, and pricing is based on the number of constituents rather than seats. Full Giving Platform bundles are quoted individually.
Compared with general-purpose CRMs, Bloomerang is designed around nonprofit giving. A gift, an event registration, and a volunteer shift all appear on the same supporter profile. Its focus on donor retention, first-time donor follow-up, and major gift prospecting sets it apart from generic sales tools. Integrations with Stripe, QuickBooks Online, PayPal, Eventbrite, and Zapier connect it to the payment and accounting tools many nonprofits already use, and a documented API is available.
