“I highly recommend Bloomerang. We have been on Bloomerang since January 2013 and are very pleased. I came from a larger nonprofit and had been using Raiser’s Edge for many years. I like Bloomerang far better. It is user friendly, easy to learn, reports are easy to create, and Bloomerang is updated and added to on a continual basis.”
Liz Grindele Fund Development Manager at Transformance
“NRS had been using Raiser’s Edge for over a decade. The system was never a good fit for us. In addition, we subscribed to RE’s new product Nxt. We paid the large fee for two years and still couldn’t utilize the functionality promised. Bloomerang works perfectly for us. It’s user-friendly, inexpensive, and continues to evolve with new features. And the support team and tutorials are a valuable resource.”
Katy Walsh Director of Development and Communications at National Runaway Safeline
