Washington, DC, and Fort Lauderdale, FL, (June 20^th, 2025) — Kia Croom Fundraising & Philanthropy has chosen Arreva as a strategic partner, joining the Arreva Partner

Program to offer ExceedFurther—the industry’s only all-in-one, online fundraising, donor relationship management database, healthcare hospitality, and auction software, in one unified database. Kia Croom Fundraising & Philanthropy is also now offering fundraising technical assistance and coaching through this strategic partnership.

With ExceedFurther, nonprofits benefit from a fully integrated and automated system where all transaction data flows directly into a unified donor database. It instantly sends acknowledgments, receipts, and thank-you emails to donors, while also notifying staff in real time—enabling timely personal outreach like thank-you calls. This is just one of many seamless processes that not only save time and reduce manual work but also deepen donor engagement, improve retention, and help drive increased donations.

Kia Croom Fundraising & Philanthropy has selected Arreva’s ExceedFurther as the premier all-in-one software for online fundraising, donor relationship management, and auction event software—an ideal fit for the diverse needs of their nonprofit clients.

Kia Croom, CEO of Kia Croom Fundraising & Philanthropy, shares how her journey brought her here. “I didn’t choose fundraising, fundraising chose me. As someone who grew up in deep poverty and found a way out, I’ve never forgotten the people I left behind. My work centers their voices and lived experiences. I’m proud to partner with Arreva to help raise funds and create resources for nonprofits working to improve social conditions and create lasting change.”

Kia Croom adds, “As someone working with nonprofits that are doing critically important work to support individuals from marginalized communities, I understand the impact that partners who are experienced and dedicated can have on the nonprofits they serve. Arreva has over three decades of experience serving nonprofit organizations, and their team is dedicated to the success of their nonprofit clients, which is an asset for the nonprofits they serve.”

David Blyer, Co-Founder, President & CEO of Arreva, is excited to partner with Bustin Consulting. “Kia Croom has an amazing skillset, complete with experience, education, and lived experiences that she uses to transform fundraising results for her clients. We are excited to work together with Kia to help nonprofits transform fundraising and create meaningful change.”
