Case Study: St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center achieves mobile access and a revitalized development program with Bloomerang

St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center - Customer Case Study

St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center, the Catholic campus ministry at Minnesota State University, Mankato that supports roughly 4,000 students, faced limitations with GiftWorks’ non-cloud software and lack of mobile capability. Director of Development Adam Murray sought a low‑cost, simple solution and selected Bloomerang to modernize donor management.

Implementing Bloomerang revitalized Adam’s one‑person development shop—he now uses Bloomerang for mailings, contact reports, transactions, end‑of‑year reports, receipts, thank‑you notes and overall donor relations. Bloomerang delivered mobile access (eliminating the need to print records), click‑to‑call convenience, and a constituent thermometer for engagement insight, plus strong customer support and weekly Bloomerang Academy webinars—resulting in faster, more effective donor outreach and greater operational efficiency.
