Bloomerang understands the unique fundraising challenges of YWCAs. There’s no reason for technology to get in the way of bringing about meaningful change in individuals and communities. That’s why numerous YWCA programs nationwide have chosen Bloomerang’s donor database solution.
Below are just a few thoughts and success stories from organizations just like yours.
YWCA Oklahoma City works to break the cycle, and empower new beginnings for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking in our community. Through our comprehensive crisis services we provide an opportunity for renewed hope, and a brighter future.
YWCA Oklahoma City was looking for a user-friendly, donor-centric donor management system with better reporting functionality than their previous system. “Our former database didn’t have many features that were user friendly or that helped with donor cultivation,” said Jodi Coats, Grant Writer at YWCA Oklahoma City.
After receiving a recommendation for Bloomerang and sitting in on a demo, Jodi and her team got excited about the donor cultivation opportunities.
YWCA Oklahoma City had finally found a dependable, user-friendly system that could grow with them throughout the whole development and acknowledgement process. Increasing donor retention and improving donor communications through households, thank you letter tracking, reporting, and recurring donations were important to Jodi. “We anticipate an increase in donations from our year end mailer due to better donor tracking and household management.”
Being able to run reports and segment all of their data was also important, and that’s why Jodi was originally drawn to Bloomerang’s reporting functionality and user friendliness. “We have benefitted from the donor retention feature by easily pulling reports. This is a feature our previous system did not have.”
YWCA Oklahoma City has seen several fundraising pain points be alleviated since implementing Bloomerang. One such benefit is that the team is now able to spend more time doing what they do best. Bloomerang’s functionality, user-friendliness, and reporting features have saved staff time and increased productivity.
At the end of the day, all of this has contributed to YWCA Oklahoma City dedicating more time and focus on donor cultivation and relationship building through segmented communications. “There has been an increase in consistent communication and tracking due to the notes feature. This ensures that relationships are cultivated to the organization instead of just the employee.”
It’s amazing what a user-friendly, donor-centric tool can do for the growth of an organization such as YWCA Oklahoma City. “We love Bloomerang!”
Patsy Goble, the Facility Coordinator at YWCA Helena, was ready to switch from eTapestry.
“Preparing reports was always difficult, and the presentation from Bloomerang really impressed us.”
“We can now easily see our weekly, monthly, and yearly amounts-raised, keep track of household giving and see dollars raised from specific events.”
“I love using Bloomerang! Productivity is up because it is easy to use. The ease of running reports, writing letters, using the Ahern Audit, and the training provided by the company is fantastic!”
