Accepting International Online Donations
As we all know, online giving is on the rise. Bloomerang is committed to making sure that all donors have the ability to support your organization using Bloomerang’s online giving forms. Starting today, Bloomerang forms will be capable of accepting donations from donors that are outside of the United States!
International Addresses and Phone Numbers
Bloomerang is making it easy for donors to submit international addresses and phone numbers using standard Bloomerang forms. International phone numbers can be entered using the “+” sign, a country code, and any formatting provided by the donor. Also, Bloomerang forms now include a Country field (the organization’s country is set as the default value). When a donor selects a country other than the United States or Canada, the City, State, and Postal Code fields will be removed so an international address can be entered into the Address block.
International Address Formatting in Bloomerang
Bloomerang preserves international phone numbers and addresses with the exact format used when entered. Allowing international donors to specify formatting for their countries, makes it easy for organizations to create mailings with correct formatting for every country. Organizations can now spend less time formatting data and more time engaging donors!

Hi Jenn - Our online donation forms can accept donations from outside the United States, but I don't believe the software is designed for international wire transfer. However, you would be better served talking to a member of our sales team to get your questions answered: https://bloomerang.com/learn/demo-live/jenn oneill
Hi there, We are considering Blomerang for our nonprofit. We have a question. Does the software allow a nonprofit to do an international wire transfer as a payout to our partner abroad?Charlie Kennedy
Hey Jessica, is this possible yet?Jessica Hartnagle
It's a possibility in the future!Suzanne Lieberman
So now we can accept international addresses - great. However, I initially got excited thinking that we could also accept multiple currencies. Pity - I guess that isn't happening.
