Switching to Bloomerang, the ideal Salesforce for Nonprofits alternative.
Texas Humane Heroes switched from Salesforce for Nonprofits to Bloomerang because Salesforce was too complex and underutilized, functioning more as a contact list than a donor management system. Bloomerang offered a simpler, user-friendly interface focused on donor relationships and retention, with cost-effective multiple users.

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.

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.
