Case Study: Always Home achieves greater donor trust and time savings with Bloomerang Fundraising

Why Always Home Has Zero Regrets About Switching to Bloomerang and Qgiv

Always Home, a small nonprofit focused on preventing family homelessness in Eastern Connecticut, needed a more trustworthy and user-friendly way to manage donor data, reporting, and event fundraising. Before switching, the team struggled with Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge, spending too much time on simple tasks and feeling unable to confidently access or understand the data they needed to personalize donor communication. Bloomerang Fundraising, along with Qgiv by Bloomerang, was chosen to simplify donor management and event workflows.

Bloomerang Fundraising implemented an intuitive CRM with cleaner donor profiles, better reporting, engagement tools, and support that made onboarding and data migration smooth. The team also used Qgiv for integrated event management and donation forms, reducing duplicate work after events. As a result, tasks that once took hours now take minutes, donor relations improved, and Always Home estimates its retention rate has risen to 55%, while also saving thousands of dollars per year.
