Migrating from Kindful? We Synced Classy, PayPal & Bloomerang in Just 6 Hours
How we helped a nonprofit migrate from Kindful to Bloomerang, syncing Classy and PayPal donations with Zapier. 543 donations processed month one.
When one nonprofit faced the sudden sunset of their legacy donor platform, they knew they had to act fast or risk losing critical donation data.
They had been using Kindful, a donor management system that had served them well until it was acquired and retired. Their team relied on Classy (now GoFundMe) for donations, and with Kindful going offline, the next step was Bloomerang. But here’s the catch: Classy didn’t connect to Bloomerang out of the box.
That’s when our team stepped in.
They weren’t looking for a long-term engagement. They just needed someone to come in, understand the urgency, and make the systems talk to each other. So that’s exactly what we did — in just six booked hour sessions, we helped them avoid a potential blackout in their donation processing.
Using Zapier, we created automation that ensured donations from both Classy and PayPal were captured and synced into Bloomerang, even while the Kindful transition was still underway. We also implemented smart logging via Zapier Tables to cover a specific PayPal use case where donation types weren’t identifiable in the platform UI.
As their team put it
“We had a cutoff point before we’d lose everything.”
That’s not just pressure — that’s mission-critical. And we responded with a tailored, agile solution.
The results?
- 543 donations processed just in the first month post-migration
- Zero interruption to donor workflows
- A system that’s now future-ready for additional integrations like Rally Corp
- And a team that feels confident and in control of their tech stack again
