Case Study: Vail Mountain Rescue Group achieves major gift growth and grows endowment from $500K to $1.4M+ with Bloomerang

Vail Mountain Rescue Group - Customer Case Study

Vail Mountain Rescue Group, which provides backcountry search and rescue and public safety education in Eagle County, needed an affordable, web-based donor management system to raise more major gifts and deliver segmented, personalized communications. After speaking with Bloomerang, they chose Bloomerang’s donor management software for its design, low startup cost, and the support they received from the Bloomerang team.

Using Bloomerang, the team implemented custom fields, segmented messaging, storytelling-driven updates (6–8 news stories per year), and reporting tools to track donation sources and event registrations. Bloomerang’s solution helped them organize communications and major gift efforts, growing their endowment from $500,000 when they started with Bloomerang to over $1.4 million to date, with a long-term goal of a $2,000,000 endowment.
