Where Fundraising Experience Meets Thoughtful Systems Design
We are donor database management and fundraising technology consultants specializing in Bloomerang CRM and Bloomerang Fundraising (formerly QGiv).
Toccata* configures seamless integrations for high-functioning Bloomerang ecosystems. We build automations and workflows that eliminate inefficiencies, restore data integrity, and document your internal processes.
Although we currently work primarily with Bloomerang’s suite of tools, our team also has expert knowledge in DonorPerfect, Neon CRM, and Raiser’s Edge (RENXT) among several others.
Toccata is based in Raleigh, North Carolina, but our remote team works with clients around the US, utilizing online-based fundraising systems and communications.
Toccata (from Italian toccare, literally “to touch”) is a virtuoso piece of music typically for a keyboard, featuring fast-moving, lightly-fingered, virtuosic passages or sections, generally emphasizing the skill and dexterity of the performer.

Why Toccata?
Toccata Data Solutions was founded by fundraisers. Because of this, we understand exactly how your data needs to be used. We’ve worked in nonprofits across development operations, annual giving campaigns, event management, and donor stewardship.
That experience shapes the systems we build to support your goals, adapt to how your team works, and produce data you can trust as you make decisions and deepen donor relationships.
