About Constituents

A constituent is any person or organization connected to your organization: donors, prospects, volunteers, staff, businesses, and more. Each one is part of the story of your cause.

Create an account for every constituent to track how they engage over time. This article explains what you'll find on each constituent account.

Seeing a different constituent header and Summary page than the ones shown here? Bloomerang is rolling out a redesign in stages. This article covers the current design. To learn what's changing, read Redesigned Constituent Profiles: What's New.

Individual and Organization Constituents

You can create two types of constituents:

  • Individual: A person

  • Organization: A business, company, foundation, or any other entity. Organization accounts include the name of the organization and its primary contact.

Tip: Run a report to see a list of all constituents.
