“Just send the spreadsheet.” It sounds simple—until it isn’t. Multiple versions. Unclear edits. Outdated numbers. And suddenly, your donor data isn’t helping you move forward—it’s slowing you down. It doesn’t have to be this way. When your data lives in one place—secure, up-to-date, and easy to act on—you can see exactly who to follow up with, what they’ve given, and what to do next. 👉 Learn more: https://bit.ly/4cyeOkN #Fundraising #Nonprofit #CRM #Bloomerang

What does a platform lose by ignoring AFP's new nonprofit accountability standards? Right now? Nothing. That's the problem.          AFP published its nonprofit-first considerations this week, endorsed by GivingTuesday and The Nonprofit Alliance. It gets the principles right. Fee transparency. Data portability. A direct call-out of the GoFundMe search behavior. But nothing in the document changes the math. A platform that violates these principles can still make money. That's not a transparency problem. It's an accountability problem. AFP, GivingTuesday, and The Nonprofit Alliance define what acceptable behavior looks like in this sector. That's real authority. Use it. Establish a public scorecard. Name platforms that meet the standard and those that don't. Make it the thing employers ask about for matching programs. The thing community foundations reference. The thing a platform's leadership has to explain to their board. That's a consequence.                   Principles are where accountability starts. Consequences are what make it real. https://lnkd.in/duakgPFp  #Nonprofits #Fundraising #AFP

April was a month of connection, learning, and momentum. 💚 The Bloomerang team had the opportunity to spend time with nonprofit leaders at: 📍 Animal Care Expo, presented by HumanePro 📍 Connecting Colorado, presented by Colorado Nonprofit Association 📍 United Way Southeast Regional Conference 📍 Feeding America Annual Leadership Conference 📍 #AFPICON Across every event, one thing stood out: when nonprofit professionals come together to share ideas, the entire sector moves forward. If we connected this month, it was great meeting you. And if not, we hope to see you at the next stop. #Events #Nonprofits #Bloomerang

What if reporting wasn’t the hardest part of your job? At #AFPICON, we asked nonprofit leaders what they’re most excited about with conversational reporting—and their answers say it all. Because while reporting should be simple, it’s often one of the biggest bottlenecks teams face. That’s why we built conversational reporting in Bloomerang—to help you get the answers you need, faster, without the technical lift. Take a listen—and see what’s possible when reporting finally works the way you do. 👉 Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4mSU6zF #Nonprofit #Fundraising #Bloomerang

There’s a reason we talk so much about relationships around here. Because in the nonprofit sector, relationships are not “nice to have.” They are how trust is built. They are how generosity grows. They are how people stay connected to the work. That’s why we’re so glad to have Bloomerang sponsoring this week’s free Hive Chat. Bloomerang’s Giving Platform brings together fundraising, CRM, and volunteer management to help nonprofits build lasting relationships and raise more. Trusted by 24,000+ organizations, their work supports the kind of connection-first fundraising so many nonprofit teams are trying to strengthen right now. Take a self-guided product tour here: https://lnkd.in/eWpeiNPJ And if you’re looking for even more space to learn, connect, and be surrounded by people who understand this work, Bloomerang’s GiveCon is coming up May 17–20, 2026 in St. Louis. There’s something powerful about being in a room full of people who share your mission; a conversation that sparks a new idea, a session that shifts your perspective, or simply the energy of being around people who get it. There’s still time to join. https://lnkd.in/emDrpnap #NonprofitHive #NonprofitFundraising #NonprofitCRM #DonorRetention #VolunteerManagement #NonprofitCommunity
