Case Study: Orange County School of the Arts saves 3 months of work per year with Bloomerang Fundraising

Orange County School of the Arts raises $10M annually with Bloomerang

The Orange County School of the Arts, a tuition-free public charter school, faced the challenge of managing a complex, multifaceted annual giving program across two campuses without adequate digital infrastructure. Their previous paper-heavy and manual processes, including platforms like Raiser’s Edge, were prone to errors and could not handle the customization needed to accurately route donations to their many distinct conservatories.

By implementing Bloomerang Fundraising, OCSA automated its pledge collection with over 650 highly customizable forms, dedicating one to each conservatory to eliminate misdirected funds. The solution, which included features like text-to-give and real-time fundraising thermometers, saved the team significant time and energy. As a result, Bloomerang helped OCSA raise over $10 million annually, with 90% of gifts processed online, and recently helped them reach 103% of an $18K event goal.
