Donor CRM
Bloomerang
Bloomerang is a donor CRM built around retention. Its dashboards put lapsing donors in front of you before they’re gone. Pricing starts at $79 a month for about 1,000 contact records, with unlimited users at every tier. It’s the ease-of-use pick for small and midsize teams.
Who it fits
Shops where the whole team touches the database and nobody is a data specialist. Bloomerang earns some of the highest ease-of-use ratings in the category, and the retention framing changes behavior: when the dashboard leads with donors about to lapse, follow-up happens.
Pricing
| Tier | Monthly | Records |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | ~$79 | ~1,000 contacts |
| Standard | ~$125 | scales up from there |
Pricing follows your record count, so clean your list before migrating and count it honestly when you get a quote.
How it compares
Little Green Light is about half the entry price and very flexible; Bloomerang is friendlier and stronger on retention analytics. DonorDock turns the database into a daily to-do list for solo fundraisers. Neon CRM adds memberships and events for organizations that need the breadth. Teams choose Bloomerang when adoption matters most, because the CRM your staff actually updates beats the more powerful one they don’t.
Bottom line
If donor churn is your problem, this is the tool that keeps it visible. Book the Bloomerang demo, bring your record count, and ask to see the retention dashboard and the reports you run at board time. Those two screens will tell you if it fits.
