Customer Stories

Switching to Bloomerang, the ideal Volunteer Impact alternative.

ShowerUp switched to Bloomerang because they were managing a growing donor base and coordinating volunteers across multiple cities, and their old platform wasn’t cohesive.

Read the Success Story

“People couldn’t figure out the system. I would have to manually add volunteers and coordinate dates because the volunteer platform couldn’t do it. With Bloomerang Volunteer, our volunteers have full access to their records, so they can see their assignments and schedule their time on their own. Bloomerang Giving Platform is an ideal marriage of volunteer and donor management. The deeper we get into it, the more we love it.”
