Keep your workflows simple.

Built-in Journey Automation workflows automate crucial giving moments—from first gifts and birthdays to donation anniversaries and group sign-ups. This means you can effectively engage donors without increasing your team’s workload. While platforms like Virtuous can feel overwhelming with complex setups, Bloomerang keeps it refreshingly simple. Easy to use, easy to love, and built to help you engage donors effortlessly.

Maximize your investment with award-winning support.

Virtuous does not provide real-time support, and you’ll have to learn through trial and error while waiting for a response. Bloomerang on the other hand is built for purpose and supports you every step of the way:

  • Our customer support is in-house and responds to all tickets within 24 business hours, often the same day.
  • Chat support is free and real-time to ensure you get the answers you need when you need it.
  • Bloomerang Customer Service is rated 4.8/5 stars on Capterra.

Customer Stories

Switching to Bloomerang, the ideal Virtuous alternative.

Landmark Trust USA restores historic buildings and breathes new life into them through public use. For years, they relied on a mix of disconnected systems to manage donors, events, and communications. When they switched to Bloomerang, they achieved a 50% growth in their donor database, a remarkable 70% email open rate, and 80% of their $1.25 million campaign goal already secured—all before leaving the quiet phase.
“Bloomerang was like turning on the lights. Suddenly, everything was visible and in one place. It’s not just helping us manage donors. It’s helping us grow into the organization we know we can be. Bloomerang has been so helpful for targeting the right people with the right message.”
Susan McMahon, Executive Director
