Intelligent Giving Platform Pro brings donors, events, auctions, email, and daily guidance into one system, so Santa Maria Community Services can move key staff from grant funding to stable general operating support.
Business objective
Raise an additional $100,000 each year
Moves key staff from grant funded to general operating and lowers the risk of losing them.
Your Mission, Multiplied
Since 1897, Santa Maria has helped Price Hill families reach their education, financial, and health goals, serving more than 3,000 people each year. Here is how the extra capacity Bloomerang creates builds on that work.
An additional $100,000 each year is 10% growth on the roughly $1 million you raise today, enough to move key program staff from grant funding to stable general operating funds.
In the ROI calculator, 15 hours back each month is nearly two workdays no longer spent hand-keying registrations and building donor lists, and spent instead with the donors and funders who sustain those positions.
Why now
Your eTapestry price climbs from $6,000 to $6,500 next year, and your capital campaign is at 94% of goal. A standard migration takes about 12 weeks, so the date you decide sets the date you go live.
Why change
Registrations are hand-keyed from Zeffy into eTapestry, donor lists and giving history are gathered by hand, and wealth insight is priced out of reach. Only two people can work in the database, so marketing and development never share one picture of a donor.
Why Bloomerang
Predictive donor intelligence builds prioritized daily lists, ProspectAI briefs sit inside each record, and Penny helps your team decide where to focus. Events, giving forms, auctions, and email live with your donor records, with unlimited users.

"The main barrier that we have is whenever there is an opportunity to secure funding, let's say for another program staff member, we shy away because we don't know whether we will be able to provide for sustainability of that position."Nune Sargsyan, Chief Development Officer, Santa Maria Community Services
The fragmented stack problem
Without Bloomerang, Santa Maria Community Services needs separate systems for every function. None of them talk to each other.

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.
How many outcomes does it take to cover the cost? Usually fewer than you'd think.
The cost of doing nothing
Here is what staying with today's setup costs Santa Maria Community Services each year.
Your eTapestry price rises $500 each year, and Constant Contact adds another $500 for email. That is $7,000 next year for tools that do not talk to each other.
Each year without growth keeps staff tied to grants that end. Your goal of an additional $100,000 each year is what moves them to stable operating funds.
Hand-keying registrations and building donor lists by hand takes about 15 hours each month in the ROI model, time not spent with donors.
What's included
Everything your team asked for, in one system, with room for your marketing team to work alongside development.
Up to 5,000 records and unlimited users, with every gift, event, email, and interaction on one donor timeline. Your marketing team works in the same system as development.
A built in email marketing tool with unlimited automated cultivation sequences. No separate subscription and no integration to maintain.
Donation forms, event management, auction fundraising, peer-to-peer fundraising, outbound texting, and text-to-donate, all feeding the same donor record.
Prepare for donor meetings, write personalized thank you emails, and prioritize the team's daily to do list, all powered by Santa Maria Community Services' own data.
Prioritized daily lists of who needs attention, plus on-demand prospect briefs stored right in the CRM. Know who to call before you pick up the phone.
Advanced data cleanup plus automatic address and deceased status updates, so the records you move over stay accurate.

Switching from eTapestry
Bloomerang moves organizations off eTapestry regularly. A dedicated conversion project manager maps your data, sends a sample for you to review, and runs two rounds of revisions. You keep working in eTapestry until the final switch.
The result
Year one revenue growth for the top 20% of eTapestry customers who moved to Bloomerang
