Nonprofit CRM switching guides
We publish 8 step-by-step guides for the most common nonprofit CRM moves, including leaving Salesforce NPSP, moving up from Little Green Light, and Kindful's upgrade to Bloomerang. Each guide covers how to export your data, what the destination's import can and can't do, a realistic timeline, and free vendor offers.
Which migration are you planning?
A common move for small and mid-size nonprofits who find Salesforce more platform than they need. Bloomerang markets directly to Salesforce switchers.
Staying on Salesforce but moving to its current nonprofit product. This is a re-implementation, not an upgrade.
For small shops leaving Salesforce for a simpler, lower-cost donor database.
For growing nonprofits that have outgrown Little Green Light's do-it-yourself approach and want retention tools and a vendor-run conversion. Expect a higher bill and some manual rebuilding.
Bloomerang owns Kindful and runs an 'upgrade' program that moves Kindful data with its own tool. Bloomerang's pages don't announce a Kindful shutdown date, so this is a decision on your schedule.
Raiser's Edge stores gifts with splits, soft credits and campaign/fund/appeal/package codes that other CRMs rarely mirror exactly.
Givebutter publishes a step-by-step guide for this move and includes LGL in its free Magic Migration.
Bloomerang is on the list of platforms Givebutter's free Magic Migration extracts from.
