Kindful

Kindful (which was strategically and massively acquired by Bloomerang to create a nonprofit software juggernaut) is an incredibly modern, API-first, cloud-based CRM that built its entire reputation on "Frictionless App Ecosystem Integration." While legacy CRMs tried to build everything (email, payments, events) poorly, Kindful built a phenomenal core CRM and simply connected flawlessly to the absolute best third-party tools on the market. The absolute core differentiator of Kindful is its "Ecosystem Unification." If a modern nonprofit uses Mailchimp for emails, Eventbrite for ticketing, Square for in-person payments, and GoFundMe for peer-to-peer, Kindful acts as the central brain. It pulls the data from all of those disparate systems seamlessly into one beautiful, unified donor timeline. When a donor buys a ticket on Eventbrite, it instantly appears on their Kindful profile. Furthermore, Kindful provides stunning, visually rich dashboards that allow a non-technical Executive Director to instantly see donor retention rates, campaign ROI, and major gift pipelines. Now integrated with the deep retention methodology of Bloomerang, it is a staggering powerhouse. For modern, agile nonprofits that refuse to abandon their favorite marketing tools but desperately need a unified central database, Kindful is exceptional.
