Prepared for The Arc of Indiana Foundation · September 29, 2026
From transactional gift logs
to relationship-driven growth.
A single home for The Arc of Indiana Foundation's roughly 9,000 donor and prospect records, built to turn two years of contribution growth into a stewarded, recurring donor base ahead of 2027.
"The individual giving piece, the one on one relationships, the cultivation and relationship building is just, I think, just static in DonorPerfect."David Dalton, Chief Program and Engagement Officer, The Arc of Indiana Foundation
The fragmented stack problem
Five tools. Zero integration.
One overwhelmed team.
Without Bloomerang, The Arc of Indiana Foundation needs separate systems for every function. None of them talk to each other.
in separate tools → Integrations that break.
Data that doesn't talk. → A four person development team managing
five systems alone.

IGP · Predictive donor intelligence
Does IGP pay for itself?
Move the slider to your record count. Any one of the three outcomes below covers the annual cost on its own, and most organizations reach all three.
IGP ROI Calculator
How many outcomes does it take to cover the cost? Usually fewer than you'd think.
The cost of doing nothing
The gap does not close itself.
These are not hypothetical, they are the same figures the calculators above already show.
Major gift capacity, unscored
The team already told us they cannot answer who is capable of giving $10,000 versus $100,000 versus $1,000,000 from inside DonorPerfect today.
Staff hours spent reconciling, not fundraising
Manual monthly reconciliation between DonorPerfect and Sage, plus one off touchpoint report pulls, is time the team could spend on donor relationships instead.
Donors lapsing without a flag
Predictive donor intelligence flags at risk donors before they go quiet. At this record tier, retaining even a handful of at risk donors covers this investment on its own.
What's included
Every tool The Arc of Indiana Foundation needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Built around the gap the team described on the call: reporting that is actually easy to pull, and relationship data that does not live in only one person's head.
Donor management
Up to 15,000 records, unlimited users, household tracking, soft credit attribution, pledge management, and in kind donation tracking, all in one profile.
Built in communications
Drag and drop email builder on the same engine as Mailchimp, plus up to 3 Journey Automations running simultaneously. No separate subscription. No integration to maintain.
Peer to peer, auctions, and ticketed events
Native peer to peer campaigns, online auctions, and ticketed event registration, ready for things like the Young Professionals Board event and the Impact Awards Luncheon.
Penny, your AI fundraising partner
Prepare for donor meetings, identify major gift ask amounts, write personalized thank you emails, and prioritize the team's daily to do list, all powered by The Arc of Indiana Foundation's own data.
Built in wealth screening
Charitable giving history and capacity indicators built into every donor profile. Know what to ask before walking into the room. Included, not an add on.
Smart retention tools
Automatic recurring card updates, first time donor flags, and lapsed donor identification, running in the background, always.

What nonprofits say
They were new once, too.
"We did a Bloomerang demo and I was like, 'This is it.' It has everything we want, everything we'll need in the future. It's so intuitive, and the onboarding process was very seamless."Becca Gray, Pensacola Habitat for Humanity
"Bloomerang is one of the best giving platforms I've ever seen. It makes it so easy to run everything from peer to peer fundraising, to transaction reports, to event check in."Beth Hill, Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine
"We did our due diligence looking at other CRMs, but Bloomerang was the clear winner. With Bloomerang, I feel like we're finally running the department the way it should be run."Julie Angulo, ScholarMatch
Real migration, real results
Lindbergh Schools Foundation left DonorPerfect after 20 years.
“After twenty years on DonorPerfect, we could immediately see a difference. Bloomerang really listens to their customers and are always enhancing the platform,” said Executive Director Erica Keating. The St. Louis area education foundation switched for the same reason The Arc of Indiana Foundation is exploring one: a system built to log gifts, not manage relationships.
The result
455% more monthly giving.
Increase in monthly giving after switching to Bloomerang
Monthly donors grew from 9 to more than 50, retention reached 43%, and total assets grew 14% year over year.
