Compare Spreadsheets to Bloomerang
Top reasons why nonprofits choose Bloomerang over Spreadsheets.
Stop chasing data. Start building donor relationships.
“We just had a spreadsheet with information on it. It wasn’t very easy to access, so we wanted to put everything in one spot. Bloomerang has been so helpful, a lot less hassle, and it just makes fundraising easier.”
Less manual work. More time to raise money.
“We had dabbled in all the free systems that were out there but you can’t do much, and you get what you pay for. Now, I’m using Bloomerang daily to tweak our data in different ways and explore new insights. That’s what I love about Bloomerang—you can play with it, test things out, and it doesn’t break.”
Simple to learn. Powerful to use.
“I could account for the top 20 donors, but I couldn’t tell you about the thousand others—their potential to give or even how often I communicated with them. It became impossible to keep up. What really attracted us to Bloomerang was how easy it was to use. I could jump right in and figure things out without a steep learning curve.”
Every act of generosity starts here.
Empower your team to connect deeply and fundraise confidently.
Switching to Bloomerang, the ideal Spreadsheets alternative.
The Geena Davis Institute’s donor data and event management was chaotic and disorganized across multiple tools. Bloomerang has helped them streamline event management, donation forms, and data tracking effortlessly.
“Before using Bloomerang’s Giving Platform, we had our donor data ‘organized’ in various spreadsheets, emails, teammates’ brains, and CRMs. We loved how intuitive Bloomerang was to get started with, and absolutely love the amazing support staff that answered all of our questions. Bloomerang’s unified Giving Platform is easy to use, with so many customizable features that we were able to finally launch a ticketed event program, as well as moving all of our donation forms to the platform. We are so pleased!”
