Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia
Founded in 1967, the Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia is located in located in Brunswick, GA and serves Glynn County and surrounding communities. They are a 100% donor funded no-kill adoption center, and has taken in, cared for, spayed and neutered, and found adoptive homes for over 12,900 animals.
The challenge
Troy Salsbury, Director of Operations & Development, was looking to switch databases from NeonCRM.
“Our previous database was very cumbersome and difficult to train new people to use.”
His direct mail vendor recommended Bloomerang, and the rest is history.
The solution
The Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia converted to Bloomerang in early-2015, and Troy so far is pleased with the results.
“We use it as our main record of donor interactions and moves management. Thank you letters are very easy to generate and track. Histories and reports are extremely well-designed. Key staff find it easy to use, therefore there is less training time and user-avoidance.”
The results
Troy has found that Bloomerang is a great fit for Humane Societies in particular.
“It’s nice to keep track of the names of donors’ pets. This is a nice touch when approaching donors for continued gifts.”
“I find Bloomerang to be very intuitive and powerful, and much more user-friendly than any of the other three other databases I’ve used in my development career.”
"Thank you letters are very easy to generate and track. Histories and reports are extremely well-designed. Key staff find it easy to use, therefore there is less training time and user-avoidance."
When you switch to Bloomerang, expect:
more raised year-over-year
donor base growth
