How to extract PULSE report and MOVE report data from Bloomerang
This will guide users of the Bloomerang software platform in compiling data required to complete a PULSE report or MOVE report.
The PULSE Report takes the "generosity pulse" or your organization by showing aggregate changes in giving to your organization over the last three years. The MOVE Report shows givers who are "making a move," either increasing their giving or decreasing their giving, this year compared to last year and the relative impact of those moves. To generate either report we will need a list of all giving transactions to your organization over a defined time period.
