Case Study: Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital Foundation Maximizes Fundraising Efficiency with Bloomerang

How switching from Raiser's Edge to Bloomerang maximized a $6M portfolio

Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital Foundation, a one-person nonprofit team managing a $6M portfolio, was struggling with Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge 7 (Database View). The system was clunky, difficult to navigate, expensive, and lacked the support, reporting, and online donation tools the foundation needed.

Bloomerang’s Giving Platform provided an intuitive, affordable, and well-supported replacement, with smooth onboarding, coaching, online giving, event tools, and GiftAssist. With Bloomerang, the foundation added three new recurring donors, nearly doubling its recurring donor base, saw 80% of online event guests use GiftAssist, generated about $335 more from fee coverage, and sold all 200 gala tickets two weeks early.
