Habitat for Humanity of the San Juans
How Streamlined Fundraising is Making the Dream of Homeownership Come True
Habitat for Humanity of the San Juans needed a system that could keep up with their growing organization – and they needed a system that would free up their time to be with donors rather than spending all of their time in their data.
When their previous system was too cumbersome and labor intensive, they jumped at the opportunity to switch to a system that streamlined their fundraising. And they decided Bloomerang was the best fit.
The Challenge
Habitat for Humanity of the San Juans had multiple issues with their previous CRM system. The biggest issue being that their current fundraising software was too cumbersome for most of the staff to use. They were wasting too much time trying to manipulate their data – time they could have spent fundraising.
They were looking for a simple, user-friendly, but powerful tool to track all of their contacts, donors, and homeowners. And as the majority of their donations are given online, they needed a tool that was able to process and track online giving.
