Bloomerang Launches Conversational Reporting—Any Staffer, Any Question, an Answer in Seconds

Every nonprofit knows the scene. You need to know how many donors gave last year but haven’t given yet this year. You either spend twenty minutes figuring out which filters to stack and hoping you got them right, or you walk over to the one person on staff who built that query three years ago and still knows how it works. Then you wait.

What is conversational reporting?

Conversational reporting ends that. Starting today, it’s available in Alpha for Bloomerang customers—with general availability coming this summer.

Any team member, on any device, can describe what they need in plain language—“show me donors who gave over $500 last year but not this year”—and Bloomerang builds the report in seconds. The report you describe is the report you get back. No second-guessing the filters. No wondering if you missed something.

Who can use conversational reporting?

This isn’t just a faster way to build reports. It changes who can build them.

The development director. The program manager. The board chair prepping for Thursday’s meeting. The volunteer coordinator who needs to know how last quarter stacked up. Anyone on a nonprofit team can now get to the truth of their data without relying on the one person who figured out the filters a few years ago and never wrote it down.

“Our goal has always been to make intelligence the default, not an add-on,” said Dennis Fois, CEO of Bloomerang. “When any team member can ask a question in plain language and get a real answer in seconds, the platform stops being a system of record and starts being a partner in their work. The development director who used to spend Tuesday mornings pulling reports can now spend them calling donors.”

What can you do with conversational reporting?

With conversational reporting nonprofits can: 

• Ask in plain language: Describe what you need—lapsed donors over $500,” “volunteer hours by region last quarter,” “new donors acquired through peer-to-peer”—and Bloomerang builds the report in seconds. No filters, no queries, no training required.
• Refine with follow-ups: Adjust any report on the fly. Narrow the date range, swap a segment, or layer in a new condition simply by asking.
• Schedule and share: Turn one-off requests into recurring reports delivered automatically to your inbox—or your team’s.
• Move straight to action: Convert any report into a targeted outreach list with one click, so the insight doesn’t stop at the screen.

“Reporting has always been one of the biggest technical barriers in nonprofit software—too many clicks, too much training, and too often a single staff member becomes the bottleneck,” said Tommy Vacek, CTO of Bloomerang. “We built conversational reporting to understand the nonprofit data model natively—donors, gifts, campaigns, volunteer hours. You don’t get a pivot table and a hope. You get the answer. And you get confidence it’s right. That’s what changes how teams actually operate.”

Once your report has been built, you can refine it through follow-up questions, turn results into outreach lists, and schedule reports without leaving your workflow.
