Blackbaud's shift to Raiser's Edge means no more eTapestry updates and likely sunsetting. You're paying too much for an aging system, fearing data loss and disruption from a switch. Bloomerang understands these concerns. Make the switch to Bloomerang - the refreshingly simple, remarkably efficient, and surprisingly affordable giving platform that helps you fundraise while you sleep.

“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.

Many Blackbaud eTapestry users complain the product feels clunky and outdated. That’s because Blackbaud stopped investing in updates. Bloomerang’s clean, modern interface is continuously updated with intuitive navigation that your team will love using every day.

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."
