KEY HIGHLIGHTS
Piedmont Habitat for Humanity, serving a six-county region in Central Virginia, is on a mission to provide affordable homeownership and repairs in their community. Previously relying on multiple platforms, they sought an intuitive all-in-one system with better reporting tools.

Piedmont Habitat faced the challenge of juggling multiple platforms and limited reporting tools. When Piedmont Habitat switched to Bloomerang, it sought a more intuitive and comprehensive system to handle its growing donor and volunteer database. Previously, their software lacked user-friendly reporting features and required multiple platforms to manage daily operations.

They look forward to continuing their partnership with Bloomerang to streamline donor and volunteer management processes.
“We definitely wanted something that was one-stop shopping, as much as possible. Where we didn't have to use multiple systems to accomplish what we needed to do day in and day out. I was mainly looking for good donor management, the ability to do volunteer management, and something that would integrate seamlessly with our website when it came to tracking online donations in our system.”
