Bloomerang CRM vs. GivePulse

If you are a small organization just getting started, Bloomerang can be a good fit. It is simple and straightforward for development staff who maybe aren’t super savvy with data management or analysis in spreadsheets. In the sales demo they will try to upsell a lot of extras that are ultimately not necessary unless your stuff is very unfamiliar with database software. The base price of the software is something like $300 per year, as long as you mix all of the training and phone support add-ons they initially present you with.

If any one wants to join as a volunteer in the Givepulse for good cause and spend their time to development of people lives, I think Givepulse is one of the beat platforms. Also any organisation can think of their CSR initiatives as they are doing very well in development of india through AID. Child education, sustainability, preserving of natural resources, womens empowerment, social justice are many topics on which they are working

• Reporting: Once I understood the logic behind Bloomerang's reporting tools, I could not believe I'd ever worked a different way. Some of our funders request very complicated reports and getting the relevant data out of Bloomerang is SO much easier than it was with our previous CRM tools.
• Website integration: I love the tracking functionality that Bloomerang offers, as well as how easy it is to integrate event ticket, volunteer, and other forms into our existing website.
• Intuitive design: I've introduced total novices to Bloomerang and been very impressed with how quickly they've been able to figure out all the top level navigation as well as deeper functionality.

• Education of childrens
• Prithibha pathashala is one of the good project
• Plantation at many places
• Building toilets and necessary education for poor families
• Ensuring social justice to the peoples of rural communities
• Sustainability
• Preserving of natural resources

• Some of the searches did not bring up the expected results. It would be good to see the logic be a little more "fuzzy".
• More pre-set reports would be helpful for small organizations who do not understand the logic behind how to get the results they are seeking.
• An ability to just page through donor records would be nice. Sometimes you just want to browse the data to get inspired.

Incentivized

• Can educate peoples of India about government facilities as more peoples dont know what are the government facilities and subsidiaries
• Can ensure that right help is given to right persons or not
• Advertise more on social media so that more volunteers can join the good cause

#1 - I am very happy with the product and support so far.
#2 - With significant data migration costs, I wouldn't even consider another option for at least 3 years no matter how much better it might be.

Data and settings are very customizable to fit the needs of our organization. We are able to not only keep track of donations, but also other interactions we may have with a constituent. Support is extremely helpful when issues arise.

Any time i had a problem or question it has been easy to find an answer or tutorial. When I cannot find an answer, it is easy to email or live chat with support and they resolve my problems very quickly.

We left DonorPerfect for Bloomerang. I had come from an organization that used Raisers Edge and there was no way I was going to stay with DP. RE is great for larger organizations with staff dedicated to the database, but we were a much smaller organization and needed to have something we could all use easily. We demoed Salsa and Neon and liked them both, but Bloomerang had better integration features and seemed to be the most user-friendly.

Givepulse is working in many areas where others are not working to develop the indias rural part like sustainability, plantations and preserving of natural resources. Also they brings the new technologies and knowledge to help the society in better ways. Their volunteers are knowledgeable and good cooperative for helping and supporting illiterate peoples

• Because my organization has been using Bloomerang for only one year, we haven't yet studied what impact it has had on our ROI. We have, however, noted that we are able to more efficiently and more rapidly communicate with constituents now than we were able to before we had Bloomerang. We can quickly and efficiently generate acknowledgements and tax receipts - and do so - better than we ever did before.

• Sves time of organization by utilizing their CSR funds in good ways
• Sends the updates of their next CSR initiatives to the donor in advance
• Clean and neat balance sheet for financial audits
