Case Study: America’s Black Holocaust Museum Raises $9M+ to Reopen with Bloomerang

Raising $9M+ with Bloomerang to reopen museum building

America’s Black Holocaust Museum (ABHM), a Milwaukee-based museum preserving Black history and education, needed a better way to manage donors, memberships, and grants as it worked toward reopening its physical building. After relying on a clunky DonorSnap setup, the small team wanted a more intuitive system to support its growing supporter base and capital campaign.

With Bloomerang’s donor and membership management platform, ABHM streamlined renewals, segmentation, acknowledgements, and grant tracking while keeping supporter communications in-house. Using Bloomerang, the museum doubled its constituent database and raised more than $9 million to reopen its physical museum in 2022, helping the organization grow its community impact and continue its mission.
