Prepared for Sumner Community Food Bank · October 15, 2026

One platform to carry
a $10 million campaign.

Intelligent Giving Platform Pro V brings donors, volunteers, events, email, and daily guidance into one system, so a one-person development team can steward every supporter while the capital campaign builds.

Business objective

$10 million capital campaign

Builds the capacity to help more people and distribute more food, including as a hub for smaller food banks, without leasing warehouse and cold storage space elsewhere.

Your Mission, Multiplied

Sumner Community Food Bank provides nutritious food with dignity through a marketplace where neighbors choose their own food, and volunteers are on site every day. Here is how the extra capacity Bloomerang creates builds on that work.

The ROI calculator models a fundraising lift of $658,000, about 6.6% of the $10 million campaign goal.

Fifteen hours back each month is 180 hours a year, about four and a half work weeks your development director can spend on major donor cultivation instead of manual touch points and report requests.

Why now

Your 2027 budget is being set now.

Budget talks for 2027 are under way, the $10 million campaign is moving toward launch, and your current CRM is billing month to month. A move takes about 14 weeks from kickoff to final conversion, so the date you decide sets the date you go live, and you can plan it away from year end giving season.

Why change

Four tools, one person, no complete picture.

Charityproud, Mailchimp, Givebutter, and Square each hold a piece of the picture. Volunteer activity does not show on a supporter profile, reports over 5,000 records go through a support request, and every new recurring donor means hand-building four or five touch points.

Why Bloomerang

One record per supporter, working for you.

Gifts, event registrations, volunteer shifts, and email activity sit on one timeline. Journey automations handle the touch points, predictive donor intelligence ranks who to call next, and scheduled volunteer shifts log hours on their own, with unlimited users so your administrator works in the same system.

The fragmented stack problem

Four tools. One person.
No complete picture of a supporter.

Without Bloomerang, Sumner Community Food Bank runs separate systems for work that belongs together, and they share very little with each other.

The cost of doing nothing

Standing still has a price.

Here is what staying with today's setup costs Sumner Community Food Bank each year, using the same inputs as the ROI calculator.

Hours lost to manual work

Building touch points by hand for every new recurring donor, requesting large reports through support, and carrying data between four tools takes about 15 hours a month in the ROI model.

$4,500 per year

Major gifts that never surface

With one person and 3,000 records, no one has time to review every supporter for capacity. Two major gift prospects at the $5,000 average in the ROI model stay hidden.

$10,000 per year

Supporters who drift away

About 30 monthly donors still mail a check each month, and many supporters go uncontacted for a year. At $40 per donor retained, 25 donors who go quiet cost real dollars every year.

Penny
Intelligent Fundraising Partner, Bloomerang
Who in our database has had no contact this year, and who looks ready to hear about the capital campaign?
I would start with two lists: supporters with no logged contact this year, and donors whose giving history and engagement suggest capacity for a larger gift. I can build both as groups and create one call task per person.
Once your data is imported
2 lists
No contact this year, ready for a larger ask
Create a call task for each major donor with no contact in the last six months.
Ready to go. I will add one task per donor with their giving history attached, and I will confirm with you before I change any records.

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

Compassion Delivered · Northeast Ohio meal delivery nonprofit

A lean team, spreadsheets, and a first CRM that did not fit.

Like Sumner, Compassion Delivered ran lean on spreadsheets and a first CRM that could not keep up. After moving to the Bloomerang Giving Platform, the team re-energized its volunteer base and stopped losing hours to manual data entry.

The result

Growth they could measure.

75%

Growth in donor base

Monthly donors grew from 11 to about 40, time spent managing volunteers fell by 50%, and email open rates tripled.
