The Neon One Advantage
One Platform. Every Relationship.
Your supporters are more than just their donation history. They are volunteers, event attendees, members, and advocates. To build a real relationship with them, you need to see all of the ways they support you.
Neon One is a single, unified platform where every interaction lives in one place, right out of the box. See a supporter’s lifetime giving, the events they attended, their volunteer hours, and their membership status all on one screen. This 360-degree view gives you the foundation for true personalization and lasting engagement.
Grow Your Community, Not Your Bill
Your mission is to reach more people. But contact-based pricing encourages a transactional mindset, where only financial supporters make it into your database. You shouldn’t have to make difficult decisions between building relationships and controlling your costs.
Neon One is different. Our pricing is based on your organization’s revenue, and every plan comes with unlimited contacts. We believe you should be able to engage everyone who interacts with your mission without fear of a surprise bill. It’s a true partnership model: we only succeed when you do.
Retention is an Outcome, Not Just a Dashboard
Tracking donor retention is important, but retention isn’t just be something you track. It’s an outcome.
You won’t create retention by tracking a metric on a dashboard; retention is the result of remembering a donor’s volunteer anniversary, understanding their event interests, and seeing their entire relationship with your organization, not just their giving history.
While other tools might give you a great report on your retention rate, Neon One gives you the unified data and automated tools you need to actually drive it. We empower you to build the multifaceted relationships that turn first-time donors into lifelong champions of your mission.

Frequently Asked Questions
A relationship management platform is software designed to centralize all data and interactions from a nonprofit’s entire community—including donors, members, volunteers, and event attendees—in a single, cohesive system. Unlike traditional CRMs that often focus only on transactions, this platform is built to help you cultivate personal connections with every supporter by giving you a 360-degree view that enables more meaningful and personalized engagement.
Your software should make it easy for you to grow your community. It shouldn’t penalize you for it. That’s why Neon One’s pricing is based on your organization’s revenue. This means you can add unlimited contacts—like your donors, members, volunteers, and prospects—without your bill going up.
Bloomerang’s model is based on the number of records in your database. If you want to engage a broad community that includes more than just active donors, you’ll have to pay for every volunteer, lapsed member, or prospect you want to track. That can get expensive!
Both are automation tools, but they are designed for different purposes. Bloomerang’s Journey Automation is primarily focused on creating sequences of donor communication. It’s a tool for nurturing fundraising relationships.
Neon One’s Workflows are much more customizable and are built to automate different parts of your organization’s operations. You can automate internal tasks like assigning a donor follow-up to a staff member, trigger communications based on event attendance or membership status, update data or email segments automatically, and much more. It’s a true operational engine designed to save your team time across all departments, not just development.
Neon One includes the tools you need to build modern, mobile-friendly donation forms that match your brand. It also offers recurring giving tools with proactive, automated alerts that help you retain donors. Pledges, tribute gifts, and offline donations are all tracked seamlessly in one platform.
Bloomerang’s donation forms offer more basic customization, and managing recurring gifts and pledges can involve more manual steps.
Neon One has a robust, native membership module built directly into the platform. That means you can manage membership levels, automate renewals, create member directories, and offer self-service portals seamlessly. Since all membership data is fully integrated with someone’s main profile, you get a complete view of each member’s history with your organization, including activities like donations and event attendance.
Bloomerang’s membership functionality is offered through a separate platform that integrates with their main system. This can lead to data siloes and a disconnected experience for both your team and your members.
Neon One has a built-in module for event creation, ticketing, registration, and communication. All event data syncs to supporter records automatically, which simplifies reporting and gives you a clearer picture of engagement.
Bloomerang typically handles event management through third-party integrations, which can result in separate data silos and manual syncing.
Neon One includes a native module to manage volunteer profiles, scheduling, and timesheets. All volunteer data syncs directly to supporter profiles, giving you a complete view of their involvement alongside their donation or event history.
With Bloomerang, volunteer management generally relies on third-party tools, which can create disjointed data and make it harder to see the full picture of an individual’s engagement.
Neon One allows you to send highly personalized emails using dynamic segmentation lists that automatically update based on supporter activity. This means you can automate segmented outreach that feels personal and timely.
Bloomerang offers foundational email tools for general outreach, with segmentation that is often based on more static donor fields rather than dynamic activity.
Neon One includes a native grant tracking module to manage the entire grant lifecycle—from proposals and deadlines to final reports—all within the CRM. This keeps your grant data connected to your broader fundraising information for a holistic view of your progress and growth.
Bloomerang does not have a dedicated grant management module, which means your team may need to track this critical information in separate spreadsheets.
