Motions for approval of Fundraising CRM and Dropshipper
Updated 11/18/21 to include proposal of fundraising CRM and TOS for dropshipper.Title: Motion to approve contract for fundraising CRM
Motion: I move to approve a service agreement with Bloomerang fundraising CRM to provide a commercial solution for fundraising designed to improve donor acquisition and retention.
https://bloomerang.co.
Statement of Need:
The development director is currently spending up to a quarter of their contract time per month (about $240 per month) to manage donor data including engagement and giving history. This modest investment improves data organization and makes the development director’s work more efficient. In addition, the LNC also employs a separate fundraising CRM (Raizer’s Edge) and a membership CRM (CiviCRM) making this requested arrangement consistent with practice within the LP.
Bloomerang service agreement terms include:
• Annual contract commitment (paid quarterly)
• $99.00 per month for up to 1,000 records (by household)
• Nightly address verification and deceased suppression updates
• 5,000 emails per month (WYSIWYG integrated email marketing service)
Bloomerange features include:
• Nonprofit CRM
• Online giving
• Email marketing (covers new lead acquisition not already covered in Mailchimp service)
• Integrations (i.e. website forms, Mailchimp, Quickbooks)
• Engagement meter (track past interactions to measure donor engagement)
• Generosity score (help identify major gifts donors)
• Social listening
• Smart reports

Notes on proposal:
The proposal here is for a services agreement paid quarterly for 750 contacts (a slightly lower tier recommended at our size). They also suggest we add their DonorSearch service (ProspectView Online Research Tool) to help us identify major gifts givers (donors who will write $5,000+ checks). They lastly suggested a database coaching service at $200 (it was originally $400 with a $200 reduction).
I originally proposed a $99 per month for their database (CRM) service only but the Bloomerang recommendation makes sense if it leads to even one new major gifts donor. The difference in start up cost is -$64.45 (from $396.00 to $331.55). This also falls in line with the formal recommendation from the Fundraising Committee.
Title: Motion to approve contract for merchandizing dropshipper
Motion: I move to approve a service agreement with Spreadshop dropshipping service to provide a commercial solution for merchandising on the LPF website.
https://www.spreadshop.com/.
Statement of Need:
Part of Chairman Nekhaila’s vision deck includes the implementation of an LPF store. The decision was made to follow the LP.org model by setting up a hyperlink which currently exists on LPF.org called “Shop” under the “Get Involved” dropdown menu. The hyperlink opens to a new page that will be a branded version of the Spreadshop store (it currently does not work). This service resolves the need of a “merchandise” solution at no risk which we can be added to or easily replaced.
Spreadshop service agreement terms include:
• No cost to start (no upfront costs)
• Only expense is at purchase
• Turn it on and off whenever you want
• Monthly payout
• We set product price and set profit margin
Spreadshop features include:
• Easy to set up e-commerce page (including the inclusion of any disclaimer text)
• No inventory
• Over 200 products (but only apparel and accessories)
• “Whitelabel” Spreadshirt quality
• Integration with social media platforms
• Code of Conduct for manufacturer partners
