Mason Hale did not set out to digitize youth sports. He volunteered to be the ‘computer guy,’ found a thicket of spreadsheets and aging software, and built his way out - one swim team, one meet and eventually one stubborn niche at a time.
Bloomerang is an Indianapolis-based software company that builds a complete giving platform for nonprofits, combining donor management (CRM), online fundraising, and volunteer management into one system. Founded in 2012 on the insight that nonprofits were losing the majority of first-time donors, Bloomerang centers its product on donor retention and relationship-building rather than one-time transactions. It now serves more than 24,000 small and mid-sized nonprofit organizations.
