Compare Salesforce for Nonprofits to Bloomerang

Bloomerang is built from the ground up specifically for nonprofit fundraising and donor management, offering an intuitive, all-in-one solution. We win by providing a ready-to-use platform with built-in best practices for donor management, fundraising optimization, and practical reporting, eliminating the need for costly customization. Unlike Salesforce, which often requires significant customization and dedicated staff or consultants, Bloomerang empowers your entire team to easily navigate and utilize features without extensive training.

Bloomerang prioritizes simplicity without compromise. Our platform is designed for all staff to learn and use, regardless of their technical expertise. You don’t need IT staff, platform experts, or dedicated consultants for administration, training, and platform management, saving significant staffing costs. Bloomerang’s built-in reporting templates and straightforward interface allow you to track fundraising, donor engagement, and volunteer activity without importing, exporting, or managing fragmented data.

Bloomerang includes Journey Automation, which automates personalized email communication sequences triggered by donor actions, birthdays, or group sign-ups. This is included out-of-the-box, unlike Salesforce, which often requires an expensive add-on like Salesforce Marketing Cloud for similar communication automations. You can send emails and outbound messages directly from Bloomerang, eliminating the need to switch tools or transfer data.
