How Bloomerang Structures Pricing

Bloomerang charges by contact count. As your donor database grows, you move to higher pricing tiers. This is a common model for nonprofit CRMs, but it creates a predictability challenge: organizations that run active acquisition campaigns can move through tiers faster than planned.

A mid-size nonprofit that grows from 2,000 to 6,000 contacts over two years will move from the $125/mo Essentials tier to the $299/mo Plus tier—a $2,100/yr increase with no change in functionality.

The Mid-Size Organization Range

For nonprofits with 2,500-10,000 contacts, the relevant Bloomerang tiers are Standard ($199/mo) and Plus ($299/mo). Most mid-size organizations fall in this range.

At $199-$299/mo ($2,388-$3,588/yr), Bloomerang is priced in the middle of the nonprofit CRM market—significantly less than Blackbaud or Salesforce, but more expensive than budget options like Little Green Light.

What the Tier Price Includes

Bloomerang’s tier pricing covers the donor CRM: contact records, giving history, retention analytics, email marketing, and online donation forms. This is the core use case and it is well-designed.

What is not included at any tier:

  • Grant management or compliance tracking
  • Restricted fund accounting
  • Funder report templates
  • Grant application tracking

These gaps apply across all Bloomerang tiers, from Essentials through Professional.

The Grant Tool Cost Add-On

For executive directors who manage grants, the practical Bloomerang cost includes a second tool. Options range from $50/mo for basic grant tracking (deadline management, status fields) to $200+/mo for compliance-oriented platforms.

ScenarioMonthly CostAnnual Cost
Bloomerang Standard only (donor CRM)$199$2,388
Bloomerang Standard + basic grant tool$249-$349$2,988-$4,188
Bloomerang Plus + grant compliance platform$499-$599$5,988-$7,188

At the high end, this approaches Blackbaud territory for an organization with active grant management needs.

The GrantPipe Comparison

GrantPipe combines donor CRM and grant compliance in one platform at $20-$99/mo. For a nonprofit currently paying $199/mo for Bloomerang plus managing grants in spreadsheets, GrantPipe represents both a cost reduction and an improvement in compliance infrastructure. The tradeoff is that Bloomerang’s donor retention analytics are more mature—if retention dashboard sophistication is a priority and grant compliance is not, Bloomerang remains the better donor-focused choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tier does a nonprofit with 3,500 contacts need?
A nonprofit with 3,500 contacts falls in the Standard tier at $199/mo ($2,388/yr). Note that contact count includes all records—donors, volunteers, prospects, and lapsed donors. Organizations often have more records than active donors, so audit your database count before selecting a tier.
Does Bloomerang charge for additional users?
Bloomerang includes a set number of users per tier and charges for additional users above that limit. The Standard tier typically includes 5 users; additional users are $10-$20/mo each. Confirm current user limits before purchase, as Bloomerang adjusts these.
What is the cost of adding grant management alongside Bloomerang?
Bloomerang has no grant module. Organizations managing grants would need a separate tool. Basic grant tracking tools cost $50-$150/mo; robust compliance platforms cost $100-$300/mo. Adding a grant tool increases total software cost to $250-$500/mo.
Does Bloomerang offer a nonprofit discount?
Bloomerang's standard pricing is designed for nonprofits—there is no additional nonprofit discount beyond the published price. Annual prepayment may offer a modest discount. Ask your sales rep about current promotions.
