bloomerang product overview
DESCRIPTION
Bloomerang helps nonprofit organizations to reach, engage and retain the advocates they depend on to achieve their vision for a better world. Our cloud-based solution is rooted in principles of philanthropy, simple to use and focused on empowering your team to achieve remarkable results through enhanced donor loyalty. We chose to build a solution that drives nonprofit success because we believe in the work nonprofit organizations do. We focus on core relationship building technology – the elements that are used the most, and to the greatest effect – and do not mess around with superficial bells and whistles that look good on paper, but ultimately distract from what you need to succeed. Our dedication to your success goes beyond the mere feature set of our solution. We work with top-tier thought leaders in philanthropy to incorporate and teach best practices for building effective relationships with donors, so all you have to do is focus on your passions and be ready to share your vision. We’ll help you make sure it lands and produces results.TRANSCRIPT
