Case Study: Marbridge achieves 82% donor retention with Bloomerang

How a fundraising platform helped achieve 82% donor retention

Marbridge, a Texas-based foundation serving adults with cognitive and intellectual disabilities, needed a better way to manage a fragmented operation spread across six databases. The organization turned to Bloomerang and its Giving Platform to unify data, improve relationship management, and create a more efficient approach to donor and volunteer engagement.

With Bloomerang’s Giving Platform, Marbridge streamlined workflows, simplified volunteer coordination, and gained real-time reporting, mobile access, and wealth insights to strengthen fundraising. The results were substantial: the team reduced costs by $3,000, grew annual fundraising from about $995,000 to over $6 million, and achieved an 82% donor retention rate.
