The year’s biggest achievements included:
- Supporter impact: Bloomerang users generated more than 312.6M emails and 20.7M letters, resulting in more than 20M donors added to their accounts in 2021.
- Record-setting Giving Tuesday: On Giving Tuesday 2021, customers raised more than $39M, a 40% increase over their Giving Tuesday 2020 donation revenue.
- Acquisition of Kindful: Bloomerang strengthened its nonprofit software offerings through the acquisition of Kindful, another industry-favorite donor management solution. The launch of Kindful’s Online Fundraising Tools to Bloomerang users fueled online giving growth during the year-end fundraising season.
- Team growth of more than 40%: 142 new employees were added to the team in 2021, including a new Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President of Payments. Three additional board members were also added.
- Product feature enhancements: Thanks to a continuous release cycle, Bloomerang added dozens of product enhancements that increased data security, system stability, and donor communication effectiveness, many of which were driven by user requests and market feedback. Most notably, Bloomerang released a suite of online giving tools that deliver a consistent donation experience across a variety of channels, and Bloomerang Payments, to eliminate the need for customers to use a third-party payment processing provider.
- Peer-review awards: Bloomerang was named a leader in several nonprofit software categories by G2, including “Easiest To Use,” “Best Results,” “Most Implementable” and “Best Support.”
