Toccata Data Solutions specializes in Bloomerang CRM Bloomerang Fundraising. We work with nonprofit organizations to bring order, clarity, and reliability to their fundraising tools and systems. Our work starts by untangling how your donor data, gifts, communications, and integrations are currently working, and investigating where they’re breaking down. From there, we establish clear data structures, consistent workflows, and documented standards so your entire team knows how information should flow and be maintained. We don’t just assess your systems, we fix what’s causing your friction. That includes correcting misaligned integrations, standardizing workflows, building automations and adding additional integrations to reduce errors. This approach reduces manual cleanup, prevents future data issues, and gives teams confidence in their data, reporting, and donor communications. Donna Mehr, Toccata's founder, has managed nonprofit fundraising and databases for over 25 years. She holds a Master of Arts from Duke University, a Certificate in Nonprofit Management from Duke, and an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences from Florida State University. Services: • Bloomerang CRM process strategy, data cleanup, and configuration of your new or existing system. • Bloomerang Fundraising configuration, integration, strategy • Bloomerang Volunteer (configuration and integration) • Bloomerang Membership configuration and workflows • Staff training on basic to advanced software features • Donor segmentation evaluation and setup • Email to CRM integration, cleanup, and syncing • Gift and constituent management strategy, implementation and cleanup, • Custom reporting • Process documentation • Bloomerang migration support (including recurring donations) • Ongoing database support We help organizations build smooth integrations between Bloomerang and • Quickbooks • Email platforms (Mailchimp, Constant Contact) • Online donation forms (Donorbox, Givebutter, Classy etc...) • Event management platforms (OneCause, Eventbrite, etc...)

25+ Years in Relationship-Centered Development Are you a nonprofit leader who knows you need to strengthen donor relationships and sharpen your message but aren't sure where to start? I help organizations move beyond transactional fundraising to build authentic, lasting connections with the people who believe in their mission—and I help you shape communications that inspire action. With over 25 years in nonprofit development and marketing, I've guided organizations of all sizes toward sustainable funding strategies and compelling narratives—from grassroots community groups to campaigns exceeding $20 million. My approach is built on my Cultivating Relationships (CR) framework—a donor-as-hero, gratitude-first philosophy that puts genuine connection before the ask. **How I can help you:** **Fundraising & Development Strategy** Fundraising strategy and campaign planning · Donor cultivation and stewardship strategy · Major donor and corporate partnership strategy · Board fundraising training and toolkits · Foundation and grant strategy · Case for support and messaging direction **Marketing & Communications Strategy** Storytelling and messaging strategy · Email and social media strategy · Integrated marketing strategy that supports fundraising goals · Brand and positioning guidance **Strategic Coaching & On-Call Support** Sometimes you don't need another deliverable—you need a thought partner. Through my coaching offering, you get a direct, ongoing line to me for the real-time moments: a donor conversation you're weighing, a decision before you hit send, a board ask you want to talk through. Available as a standalone package or built into a retainer. My clients include environmental conservation organizations, social justice nonprofits, youth development programs, and publications committed to amplifying diverse voices. I bring strategic vision and a partner's perspective. Whether you need a fundraising strategy, a communications approach that builds community, help preparing your board to fundraise confidently, or a thought partner to strengthen your overall direction, I'd love to learn about your organization and explore how I can help. Let's talk about what's possible for your mission.
