Prepared for The Digg Site Productions · July 29, 2026

One home for every supporter.
One foundation to grow on.

For 25 years The Digg Site has taught filmmaking to Nebraska kids, tuition free and all volunteer. This is the foundation to reach younger donors, turn one time gifts into recurring support, and make the revived White Light City Film Festival a real fundraiser, so the team can get off the sub $50K plateau.

Business objective

Get off the sub $50K plateau

Grow past the plateau to fund operations, and eventually paid staff, so a 25 year mission does not rest entirely on volunteer hours.

Your Mission, Multiplied

For 25 years The Digg Site has put real cameras in the hands of Nebraska middle and high schoolers, tuition free, and it is bringing back the White Light City Film Festival on top of that. Here is what a little more capacity could build on.

A conservative first year fundraising lift of about $4,400 is real money toward getting off the sub $50K plateau, and it compounds the moment recurring giving is switched on.

About 20 volunteer hours a month back from admin, roughly $8,400 a year in recovered time, goes straight to the kids, the grants, and the fall festival.

Why now

The fall festival is your go live moment.

The White Light City Film Festival is coming back this fall. Get live in Bloomerang and selling tickets through it, and reach younger, digital first donors before more of the aging base slips away.

Why change

Your CRM is a MailChimp list.

Donors sit in MailChimp, gifts in spreadsheets, the festival on cash and PayPal, and none of it talks. There is no recurring giving and no clean way to reach the younger supporters you need to grow.

Why Bloomerang

One system, right sized for a volunteer team.

CRM, online and recurring giving, events, email, and grant tracking in one place, with QuickBooks sync, at the smallest tier for your 382 records. Volunteer and deeper prospecting are there when you are ready, not needed to start.

I work with for-purpose organizations to find the right sized Bloomerang setup, no more than you need, everything you do. With The Digg Site I would rather help you grow into the platform than sell you the biggest one, and I am glad to hop on a call with your board anytime.

Dana Reeves, Executive Director, The Digg Site Productions

The fragmented stack problem

Five tools. Zero integration.
One overwhelmed team.

Without Bloomerang, The Digg Site Productions needs separate systems for every function. None of them talk to each other.

The cost of doing nothing

What another year on the plateau costs.

None of this is dramatic on any single day. It just quietly compounds, and the mission is the thing that pays for it.

Younger donors give somewhere else

Your older base is aging out, and without online and recurring giving there is no way to meet younger, digital first supporters where they already are. The recurring base you have never had still does not start.

$0 recurring

Volunteers stay buried in admin

About three quarters of your team's time goes to spreadsheets, the MailChimp list, and reconciling the festival by hand, instead of donors, grants, and the kids.

~$8,400/yr

Stuck under $50K

The festival stays on cash and PayPal, gifts stay in spreadsheets, and the tools to grow past the plateau never get built. Another year passes at the same ceiling.

Thank you emails, Penny writes personalized acknowledgments referencing the donor's full relationship with The Digg Site Productions, not just today's gift.
📋
Daily priorities, Penny reviews overdue tasks, thank you calls needed, and lapsed donors, then builds the team's to do list in priority order.

Penny
Intelligent Fundraising Partner, Bloomerang
Who should we invite to give monthly, and how much?
Once your MailChimp and spreadsheet history is imported, I will look at who gave more than once this year and who bought festival tickets, then suggest a monthly ask for your strongest prospect.

Can you draft the invite?
Done. I referenced their gifts this year and the White Light City Film Festival, kept it short and warm, and dropped in a recurring giving link. You review and send, always.

What nonprofits say

They were new once, too.

"We did a Bloomerang demo and I was like, 'This is it.' It has everything we want, everything we'll need in the future. It's so intuitive, and the onboarding process was very seamless."
Becca Gray, Pensacola Habitat for Humanity
"Bloomerang is one of the best giving platforms I've ever seen. It makes it so easy to run everything from peer to peer fundraising, to transaction reports, to event check in."
Beth Hill, Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine
"We did our due diligence looking at other CRMs, but Bloomerang was the clear winner. With Bloomerang, I feel like we're finally running the department the way it should be run."
Julie Angulo, ScholarMatch

A volunteer run org that scaled

You are not the first small, all volunteer team to outgrow spreadsheets.

Early stage, volunteer heavy nonprofits come to Bloomerang for exactly the reason you did, their community outgrew the tools holding it. City of Good is one close analog from our customer base, a lean team that put every supporter in one place and built real giving programs on top. Different revenue band from The Digg Site, so we will not overstate the parallel, but the shape of the move is the same.

The result

The pattern that shows up again and again

47%+

More raised, average Bloomerang customer

Across 26,000+ nonprofits, consolidating onto one system is consistently what frees the time and the data to grow giving, the same shift The Digg Site is making now.

The transformation

The Digg Site Productions: before and after.

Without Bloomerang

⚠️Donors live in a MailChimp list, there is no real donor record
⚠️Gifts are tracked by hand across spreadsheets and QuickBooks
⚠️No recurring or monthly giving exists, at all
⚠️Festival tickets run on cash, PayPal, and a POS, reconciled in spreadsheets
⚠️About 75% of volunteer time goes to admin instead of fundraising

With Bloomerang

✅Every donor, gift, and grant lives on one record, nothing re-keyed
✅Online and recurring giving is switched on, the base you never had
✅The fall festival sells tickets with QR check in and card on file, straight to the record
✅Email sends from Bloomerang on live donor data, the MailChimp list retired
✅Volunteer hours go back to donors, grants, and the kids
