Case Study: Grand Rapids Public Museum achieves streamlined fundraising and stronger donor data with Bloomerang Fundraising

Grand Rapids Public Museum - Customer Case Study

Grand Rapids Public Museum needed a better way to support its two largest fundraising events after moving away from Greater Giving, while also improving database accuracy and donor engagement. The museum’s development team used Bloomerang Fundraising alongside Qgiv for auction and event registration, but needed a more streamlined, error-resistant process that would integrate with its donor database and support cohesive event branding.

Bloomerang Fundraising helped Grand Rapids Public Museum connect Qgiv with Bloomerang, eliminating manual constituent entry and reducing the risk of database errors. As a result, constituent profiles became more complete and the museum could better track engagement; the gala also exceeded its goal by more than 130%. The user-friendly customization and responsive support from Bloomerang Fundraising contributed to a smoother, more effective fundraising experience.
