Fundraising that never sleeps.
Bloomerang Journey Automation lets you set up automated, personalized flows triggered by giving occasions to significantly lighten your workload. WIth your fundraising on auto-pilot, you can focus on serving your mission, while Bloomerang nurtures donors 24/7 with perfectly timed thank-yous, updates, and just the right asks.
“After a recent event with over 300 donations, it was so simple to upload all those donations with literally the stroke of a couple of keys. With our old system, much of the data was entered by contact manually one by one, taking hours. It is very easy for us to see how well we retain event attendees.”
Modern user experience that actually makes sense.

Gone are the days of me wasting two hours to pull a monthly reconciliation report or online donations report. With Bloomerang, I can take care of these tasks in a matter of minutes. Our team is exponentially happier that everything is so simple now."
Transparent pricing that respects your budget.
No surprise price hikes or hidden fees. Unlike Blackbaud eTapestry’s expensive packages and extra support charges, Bloomerang offers straightforward pricing with customer success included. Get more money for your mission, with no tricks or unexpected price increases.
