## Bonterra Network for Good Reviews
  ### 1. Bonterra Guided Fundraising is helpful for newbies

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shawn J. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2023

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

It spells out step by step what to do for fundraising campaigns which makes using & operating campaigns easy to use. Gives prompts to remember where you are at on each step. Allows great donor communication & thank yous via email, text, videos, snail mail options. Customer support is readily available for any questions or help needed.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

When entering donations the template requires multiple "tabbing" past options we do not use. The page is long so scrolling or tabbing multiple times to get to the bottom of the page takes extra steps. would be nice to be able to customize the page for our organization's specific purposes. On the fundraising page, the options for photos that will work with the template (automatic cropping) is quite annoying. It crops and makes the photo very grainy.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Donor management for year end giving statements is fantastic. Also personalized thank you's for each gift.

  ### 2. Great resource for a great price, tons of functionality, and great customer service!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tara H. | Finance and Administrative Officer, Non-Profit Organization Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2023

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

There have been many new functions and capabilities built in which further the great work that nonprofits can do. There are also a lot of amazing trainings available to help learn new things and train new staff!

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

More functions for the nonprofit in terms of being able to process donor credit card donations as it is still limited. We have many donors that are not comfortable with computers or tech, so having more capability to process those donations would be extremely beneficial!

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Network for Good is allowing us to easily have access to donor information and donation history. It allows for easy access to communicating with donors. Network for Good also allows for easy processing of credit card donations. The reporting features are also a great benefit for our organization as are the filter functions and group functions.

**Official Response from Kathleen Connelly:**

  ### 3. Great product with tons of functionality at a great price, with quick and helpful customer service!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2024

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Teaching new staff members has been really easy as well. There are also a plethora of amazing help guides to assist with new areas that the nonprofit is not familiar with. 

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Bonterra would be more beneficial for nonprofits if we could enter credit card donations for our donors without having to sign into their account. There are some ways in which we receive donations that make it difficult to enter the donations, so more flexibility and usability for the nonprofits to work with donations, specifically credit cards. Many of our donors don't use computers or don't have email addresses, so allowing the nonprofit to have more functionality with the credit card donation processing would be extremely helpful!

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They're providing a reputable means in which our donors can make their donations. It's beneficial to us because when the donors trust the resource, they feel more comfortable with the organization's fiscal accountability and that the funds will be used in the manner in which they were intended.

  ### 4. Easy to Use, Flexible Features for Almost Any Business

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karen F. | Database Manager &amp; Special Projects, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 05, 2026

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

It's easy to use and has features that can be adapted for almost any company need

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Customer service is limited. It would be nice to have a dedicated PERSON that we could call when the need arises, instead of just relying on virtual chat, office hours or being referred to online resources.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

NFG allows us to really segment our correspondence based on our custom groups and has helped us as we start moving into more donor based outreach. We are excited for the (currently in beta testing) Grants Management feature.

  ### 5. User-Friendly Yet Needs Improvement in Donor Tracking

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Carmin L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I find Bonterra Network for Good very user friendly. I also think the filters in the software are helpful for pulling down certain reports.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I've been asking for a long time that the recurring donors that show up in the software are captured outside of people who give within the system. So there's people that give directly through the Network for Good platform that we have. And those are the only ones that are captured as recurring donors, but we also add in gifts that people send via check and ACH into it. But those are not captured as recurring donors, and I think that is something that needs to be improved on.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Bonterra Network for Good to keep track of all our donors, segment donor lists, and monitor fundraising progress yearly.

  ### 6. Use to be good, now falling behind.

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ashton N. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2023

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

There is nothing new that they have added that I like. 

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Allow me to shut off AI. I hate AI, and it's not ethical or safe. Their email blast system, is outdated, and I wish I never got rid of Mailchimp. Their customer service is hit or miss. 

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeps a list of all our donors, helps us run campaigns, and organizes our contacts into folks we can send email blasts to.

  ### 7. This is an all-in-one platfrom for donor management that is easy to navigate.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Judd P. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2024

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

We've been using Network for Good for over five years. They've made updates recently to make it easier for donor management and communications.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

There is nothing that we dislike about the platform.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are a small nonprofit organization where I wear every hat in the administrative side of our nonprofit. BGF allows me to easily commicate with donors and fundraise.

**Official Response from Kathleen Connelly:**

> Wow, thank you for this fantastic feedback, Judd! We're thrilled to hear our donor management platform is making your life easier as you wear all those administrative hats. Your ability to easily communicate with donors and fundraise is exactly what we aim for - empowering changemakers like you to focus on your mission, not wrestling with software. Keep up the amazing work you're doing! 

  ### 8. A Platform that Can Do It All for a Nonprofit

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2026

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I like how easy the software Network for Good is to use. The dashboard on the front page, the easy-to-look-up contacts, and the ability to personalize e-mail campaigns are the top ways I use the platform.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I wish we could upload higher sized videos into e-mail campaigns that viewers can watch from their inbox instead of having to link through. It would be great to plug in to our website more. The campaign pages are useful for directing donors to, but it would feel more authentic if integrated into our website.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking our donors, tracking annual fundraising goals, and communication with our audience.

  ### 9. Timely Support and New Features That Boost Our Efficiency

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kimberly A. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2026

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I love that Bonterra NFG provides timely support. They also continue to release new features that are helping persevere time and allow us to be more proficient.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

There aren't a lot of dislikes I have about Bonterra NFG. I would love to see them add a feature that allows manual donations to have an automatic email sent to the donor of it's input.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They have added Que which is amazing. It's like having a personal assistant. It can help with creating reports, emails, you name it.

**Official Response from Neil Grasso:**

> Hi Kimberly,

Thank you for the positive review! We're thrilled to hear you're finding our timely support and continuous feature releases helpful for your organization's efficiency. We're especially glad that Que is working like a personal assistant for you with reports and emails.

  ### 10. Streamlined Event Management, Room for Improvement

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amber R.

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2026

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I really appreciate being able to look at historical donor data with Bonterra Network for Good. It's helpful to know what donors have given, when they've given, and in honor of whom. I also find it extremely useful and user-friendly for managing our fundraising events, like setting up sponsorships and ticket sales.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

In the event space of the software, on the user's end, it was not super user friendly. We had some feedback from people who came to our event that said that the logging in and registration process was confusing. I think that on the user end, people purchasing tickets and bidding on silent auction items, that experience could be improved to be a little bit more user friendly, especially for older folks who don't typically use that type of stuff.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bonterra Network for Good helps us organize donors, track donations over time, set up sponsorships, handle silent auctions, and sell tickets for our annual fundraiser efficiently.

**Official Response from Neil Grasso:**

> Hi Amber,

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that Bonterra Network for Good is helping you efficiently organize donors, track historical data, and manage your fundraising events.

  ### 11. Seamless Donor Engagement, Needs User-Friendly Reporting

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Victoria  M.

**Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2026

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I like that Bonterra Network for Good is live, which lets us see donations in real time. We can also update our accounts with checks or direct deposits and see all transactions live. It's valuable because we can track our progress weekly or monthly, and it helps us manage our monthly budget. The system allows better engagement with donors by facilitating timely communication and fundraising actions. Additionally, transitioning to Bonterra was easy, with helpful videos and AI features that answer questions instantly, making it a user-friendly experience.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I'm not always happy with the way the features for pulling stats and understanding lapsed donors work. These features are not very easy or user-friendly to get out of Bonterra Network for Good. I think this might have to do with how Bonterra and Network communicate about how the money is being dispersed into our account.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Bonterra Network for Good to communicate with donors and process payments. It offers real-time donation visibility, helping us track monthly performance and engage better with donors.

**Official Response from Neil Grasso:**

I like that Bonterra Network for Good is easy to use and that it has templates available so you don't have to start from scratch.

  ### 14. Streamlines Donations, But Needs Clearer Event and Email Guidance

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** BJ H. | Social Media Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Network for Good is very helpful in the way that it collects donations and handles my donor lists and makes it easier for me to send out thank you letters to them.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I think the least helpful thing is that when you are creating an event or making a letter or email, it doesn't explain enough what each function does as you are creating it, so I end up skipping a lot of it.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Network for Good makes it really easy for people to donate and it makes it easy for me to keep in contact with my donors, with emailing and sending Thank You Letters. It is also good as a database that shows all of my donors and donations and we use that for research a lot.

  ### 15. Automates Donor Management, Needs Better Customization

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brian C.

**Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I use Bonterra Network for Good because it's simple to use and automates a lot of functions that save a significant amount of time, especially for donor management. This automation streamlines many tasks, allowing me to focus on other important areas of our operations. I also find it very beneficial for tracking donations and donor communications. The system effectively maintains our records of donor donations and the history of when people donate, providing a comprehensive view of our fundraising efforts. Furthermore, it provides templates for fundraising emails and automatically sends thank you messages to donors, ensuring that our communication is both effective and efficient. The donation processing capability is another feature that I appreciate, as it helps manage the financial aspects seamlessly. Overall, the system's ease of use and time-saving automation features are what I like most about Bonterra Network for Good.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I find that the templates for the donation page are limiting in terms of customization options. There are constraints on how much I can customize, particularly regarding images and text formatting for things like donation impact statements. Additionally, the email creation software can be quite tricky to use, limiting my ability to do all the customization that I desire.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Bonterra Network for Good to track donations, maintain donor records, automate communication like fundraising emails, and process donations efficiently, saving time in donor management.

  ### 19. Robust CRM with Room for Improvement in Reporting

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Girls Inc of Columbus a.

**Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I appreciate the functionalities provided by Bonterra Network for Good, including the CRM capabilities that help manage donor information and their contributions, both in-kind and monetary. I love the campaign and event management features that allow me to run campaigns, manage ticket sales for events, and have these seamlessly integrate with the CRM, ensuring all event information is transferred automatically. The ability to maintain ongoing communication and touchpoints with our donors is highly beneficial as it supports our organization's engagement efforts. Furthermore, I value the recent inclusion of AI, which has the potential to greatly enhance ease of reporting once further optimized, allowing for quicker access to data and insights needed for tasks like constructing reports for donor management. At this time, AI tool was not able to successfully pull this report for me. The ability to handle mass email and text communications within one platform is incredibly advantageous. I consistently recommend Bonterra Network for Good on various platforms, committees, and partnerships due to these valuable capabilities and the platform’s forward-thinking direction in donor engagement and relationship management.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I find it challenging that there is a lack of user-friendly reporting functionalities within the system itself. Having to export data to Excel spreadsheets for further manipulation is cumbersome and inefficient, especially with over 5,000 donors in the management system. This process not only causes confusion but also introduces possibilities for human error. Additionally, the current AI integration has limitations, as it cannot yet produce specific reports, such as those needed for annual appeals (mass mail out process i need all donors (donations/ticket purchases/etc.) with mailing addresses present that have given within the last 3 years to our organization and include all major lifetime donors with mailing addresses ($5,000 and up) in one comprehensive report. There is no streamlined user-friendly reporting that can handle this request without spending hours reviewing Excel Spreadsheets.  Furthermore, relying on third parties for verifying mailing addresses and manipulating data further complicates our workflow.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Bonterra Network for Good to streamline donor management, campaigns, and event ticketing in one platform, enhancing donor communication. However, I face challenges with reporting ease and integration, often needing external tools for complex reports and accurate data handling.

  ### 20. Streamlined Donor Communication, Some Newsletter Hiccups

  ### 21. Change for the best!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Melanie S. | Administrative Assistant and Bookkeeper, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Bonterra Network for Good is the only online donation platform I've used. So I don't have a lot to compare it to. With that being said, I find it universally great for tracking donors and their donations. It offers a lot of features to initiate contact with current, old and lapsed donors. I would also like to mention that there have been significant changes that have made it easier to use, easily integrated with QuickBooks as well as clear and precise AI help to address any support issues I may come accross.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I find the cost to be a little on the high side. The price would be the biggest factor.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Initally when I started using Bonterra Network for Good you could not see (at least to my knowledge) exactly what donations were included in deposits. It made our accounting difficult to understand. However, the new ability to see the deposit dates on the reports helps drastically.

  ### 22. All Donations Tracked in One Place

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Laura S. | Office Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2026

I like that I can keep track of all donations in one place.

  ### 23. We pay because this is a good system!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cindy G. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Once you understand how to use the system, it is easy to use, allows you to divide contacts into groups so you can send specific communications to various contacts and the donation platform is easy for donors and enables us to manage donations quickly.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

We use the system to communicate with donors and clients. The systems sometimes bounces non-gmail emails and that can be frustrating. It is a setting that needs to be reset every now and again. Also, bounced emails are not removed from your contacts, so when you review annually, you must request they delete the bounced emails. If you do not request this, the bounced emails could place you in a higher contact level and the system costs more money.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They have helped us resolve the bounced contact situation to prevent our account from going to the next contact level, they provide great customer service and can help you resolve all challenges you cannot figure out. Very supportive system!

**Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Bonterra is an amazing software for fundraising, events, and auctions. The best feature is the fact that there are ALWAYS opportunities to learn. There are so many live training sessions, articles, video archives, and a chat feature.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

There really is no downside. If I had to choose one, I'd say that it can be overwhelming to get started. However, it is easy to find the answers to your questions and they are always rolling out new updates to make the experience even better.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are a small organization, and that means that we have a very small staff. Bonterra makes it simple for us to do the things that we need to do among the staff that we do have. Everything is streamlined and easy to manage.

  ### 25. Simple and Effective Donor Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rory G. | Web Content Writer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Bonterra has been a lifesaver in terms of donor management. Using the contacts feature and email blasts we have been able to put out higher  and more frequent newsletters and mailings to our donors and subscribers. Onboarding was made incredibly simple and the customer service team took care of our entire import from Little Green Light. The templates for donor receipts and thank you's have also been a huge bonus! Overall we are very happy with the system and cannot wait for future updates, as each has made the platform even better than the last.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

One downside to Bonterra is not having an easy way to link two donors of the same household to the same donation. There is a household donation view, but due to the way donations are input they must be made by one person, officially. I also hope a future update will allow us to look up donors by address in the Giving tab, not just the contacts tab. Those two are my only wishes!

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bonterra (NFG) has made it much easier to collaboratively approach donor management and communications. Now our executive director, marketing, and accountant can all easily log in and have access to the same important information they need for their job, rather than having to ask one another for specific reports or mailing lists because only one person has a software license. It's also so much better because it's web-based, allowing us to work from home or other locations when needed.

  ### 26. The platform offers friendly customer care with all the tolls I need for fundraising in one place.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2021

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

One place fundraising tool; peer-to-peer platform; collation and aggregation of donations.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I guess I receive too many emails pointing me to one tool or the other while I have what I need.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra Network for Good:**

The product is satisfactory.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We send mass emails, letters to persons without email addresses, aggregate donors, filtering for donor managment.  I was elated to realize that we could use it for peer-to-peer fundraising.

  ### 27. Empowers Nonprofits with Efficient Donor Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Teresa J.

**Reviewed Date:** September 03, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I find Bonterra Network for Good incredibly valuable for tracking donations and staying in contact with our donors, both individual and corporate. I appreciate its user-friendly interface, especially after transitioning from a manual tracking system. The integration for sending automatic texts and emails to sponsors is highly beneficial. It also supports us with event planning and budgeting, while enabling us to express gratitude and maintain constant communication with donors, which I find essential. The tracking feature is a major highlight, allowing for easy reporting and data management. I also appreciate that updates are made regularly, which keeps the service innovative and effective.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

We find the limitation on the number of users to be a problem, as it's currently only allowed to have three users. Our organization needs more access for additional users beyond the treasurer, president, and executive assistant.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use the product for donor engagement, event management, and financial tracking. It simplifies contact management and fundraising, enhancing budgeting and planning. Automated communication with sponsors and donors ensures effective interaction.

  ### 28. Donors will love it!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Terrie C. | Finance/Billing Specialist, Hospital & Health Care, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Easy access for our donors and our company as well. It is easy to maneuver and follow the steps to make the donations. The fees are low and everything is going to a good cause.  Bonterra network for good is set up with easy to follow steps for every aspect of the website. It makes it very easy to make annual or yearly donations to the company that you are passionate about.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Nothing. I like the system. I have no dislikes. The system is set up for an easy following process of donating to your favorite company, or fund raiser.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To track our donations aside from our other income, and to be able to keep in contact with our donors.

  ### 29. A Great Platform For Donor Management and Donor Communications

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nici B. | Development and Volunteer Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Donor management is fairly simple. Creating filters and contact groups has helped us pull information to keep us informed about our donor groups and fundraising campaigns. Communication  with donors through email blasts, text messages and direct mail has been a useful tool for our non-profit, as well.
We have several ticketed events throughout the year. Setting up events in NFG has been simple and works well for inviting guests, tracking ticket sales, promoting and staying in contact with event guests.
Customer support through the chat feature has been very helpful. They are quick to respond and have generally been able to resolve my issues and/or lead me to whatever training we need.
In our organization the Development role uses NFG nearly every day. Overall, we are happy with the product and are looking forward to future improvements that will help where some features are currently lacking.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Events and auctions could use some improvement. The check-in feature for guests attending our events is much too slow to be an effective tool for our organization. Also, the Auctions function was not the best. We had challenges with managing item images for printing as well as checking out items once they were won.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Donor tracking, cultivation and communication has been made simpler by NFG. Overall, NFG has allowed our Development team to be more effective, especially through launching new fundraising campaigns and event promotion.

  ### 30. A very comprehensive database management program that is a great tool, but I'm struggling to learn

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mental Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

The ease of inputting names and contacts I'd have to say is the best feature and affects my job the most. My job as an administrative assistant only really requires limited knowledge of this program, label creation, database input and searching for addresses, but all these are very easy to use and I LOVE how easy labels are to create!

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I know there are so many more features I could use, but I don't because I feel they're hard to understand, like the filtering is very confusing to me. I wish there video tutorials that I can watch at my free time instead of Webinars occasionally.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

That's hard for me to answer with the kind of user I am, just data input and retrieval and labels. While it sure does make these very easy, I have really had issues with Excel/Word to run mail merges for labels being tricky and this is a breeze on here. So, I guess, that would be my problem that was solved.

  ### 31. NFG Review- From a Newbie

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Josh W. | Engagement Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

CRM management. Ease of use. Layout. Tracking donations very effectively.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Not having notes for an organization link to a specific contact or vice versa. Event funcationality- specific to silent auction is clunky.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Donation tracking is very effective when tracking ACH donations with the ability to accurately label these and connect with Quickbooks.

  ### 32. Bonterra is a great choice for fundraising software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steven N. | Director of Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

The CRM/Database software is extremely user-friendly. Great design and great features. The customer support has been excellent as well. For a small to mid-sized nonprofit organization, Bonterra is the best product.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I would like Bonterra to add additional stanfard fundraising measurements to the dashboard. We would like to have quick reports that measure the three (3) donor types: Retained, New and Re-activated. ALL donors fall into one of these three categories. Currently I have to to run two filter reports to calculate retained and new donors. The only way that to get the reactivated donor total is by subtracting the new and retained from the total.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bonterra is a complete database that accurately logs and tracks donations. Without this system, our fundraising would suffer. Bonterra also provides a customizable online giving page. Donations and donor information are directly entered into the database. This saves time for gift processing.

**Official Response from Kathleen Connelly:**

> Hi Steven, thank you for your wonderful feedback! It's amazing to hear the difference Bonterra makes for you and your organization. We appreciate you sharing the specific reports you're looking for and will be sure to share them with our product team, but encourage you to participate in our product feedback portal as well! Keep up the great work!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

To me the tool seems user friendly and intuitive. I have no qualms with Network for Good, despite having heard feedback from others that it is not their favorite. I have compared Network for Good to other leading CRM's and found that it does the same as the others. For now, i'll be sticking with NFG. I like the easy ability  to add contacts, create households, and import and export data. Customer service is also pretty timely.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I do wish that it had more features in the editing email capabilities. Also, I wish it had a more intuitive design around donor journeys, and prompted me for next steps that I should be taking based off inputted touch-points or data.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It keeps all my contacts in one place and allows me to create households. It creates ease in mailing and contact lists.

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Working with Bonterra Network for Good is incredibly easy. I'm able to input donor contact info, donations, and track giving habits without too many clicks and navigating clutter. It's intuitive and shows me everything I need to know in one place. I was also very pleased with the simple onboarding and coaching I received from their team. I can't imagine going back to other tools.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I have no complaints, this tool helps me so much.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Users can easily make donations and participate in our events and silent auctions. My team and I can add donations, coordinate communications, and so much more so easily.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2021

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Easy to use.  Real time information.  Tracking the open rate and click thru on eblast communications.  Like that it is an all in one platform.  The eblasts are easy to create and track.  We like the texting feature as well.  So many folks use text as their main form of communication,

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Would prefer to have the option of live help rather than doing the chat and getting links to look at.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

  ### 37. Bonterra Network for Good for a non-profit

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jason L. | Director of Finance and HR, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 19, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

The CRM is user friendly and implementation was fairly easy.  They have templates for campaign giving and functionality to handle events and silent auctions.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

There customer service doesn't have a phone number, they want you to use a chat feature which doesn't work well with my internet browser. They can't refund a donation quickly if someone gave by mistake even though I notified them within hours of it happening.  There is no good method for tracking grants received with this software.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeping track of all our donors and sending out newsletters monthly.  It's nice to track the activity per donor interaction.

  ### 38. 5-Star Review – Excellent Donor Management System!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

We've been using Bonterra Network for Good for a few years, and it's truly transformed how our organization operates. One of the standout features is the ease of use—the interface is clean, intuitive, and user-friendly, making it simple for our entire team to navigate and manage donor relationships efficiently.

The ease of implementation was also impressive. From initial setup to full integration with our existing processes, the onboarding experience was smooth and well-supported. We were up and running quickly, without the typical headaches of adopting new software.

What sets this platform apart is the exceptional customer service. Their support team is always responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us succeed. Anytime we’ve had a question or needed assistance, they’ve been quick to provide effective solutions.

Overall, this system has made donor management more organized, effective, and far less stressful. It is highly recommended to any nonprofit looking to streamline operations and enhance their donor relationships!

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

While we appreciate the overall functionality of the donor management system, we’d like to see improvement in the filter options for searching and reporting on donors. Currently, the available filters are somewhat limited, which makes it challenging to generate more specific or customized reports.

Applying more advanced or multi-layered filters would greatly enhance our ability to analyze donor data, segment our communications, and track engagement more effectively. We hope to see expanded filter and reporting capabilities in future updates.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bonterra Network for Good has been a tremendous asset to our organization. It is a solid, centralized database that keeps all of our donor information organized, accurate, and easily accessible.

One of the biggest benefits has been the significant time savings it provides. Tasks that once required manual tracking and coordination hours are now streamlined, allowing our team to focus more on building relationships and advancing our mission. The system’s automation, reporting tools, and intuitive layout help us work smarter, not harder.

It’s become essential to our daily operations and long-term development strategy.

  ### 39. A great platform with multiple tools and support for non profits

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Misty M. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Our small nonprofit was struggling to manage our donors, donations and engagement trying to cobble together a web of support with various options.  We moved to Network for Good to consolidate our information and tactics for optimum reach and engagement.  Having all of the information in one place (contact info, giving info, interactions, click rate, etc) has been immensely helpful to our small staff wearing many, many hats.  Organized groups allow us to target communications and not send massive scattershot emails.  We haven't had many issues but the minor things that have come up have been handled quickly and easily with customer support.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

One of our biggest cons is the price tag.  We are a small nonprofit and every penny spent needs to be for a good reason.  It was an expensive decision for us but we have appreciated all the tools and benefits.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The fundraising campaigns were something that we didn't even realize we needed but have been so great.  The flexibility to have different campaigns for different needs has been great.  I feel like our donor engagement and the tools to thank our donors has been so helpful.

  ### 40. Great all in one CRM

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Denise S. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I like having everything in one place. It's pretty easy to use. I love how when someone does anything, it's all documented in the system:bid on an auction item, donate, open an email. I love the metrics.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

The cost keeps going up! The interface on the auctions for the donor could be a little more friendly.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking donor relations, giving,emails, even helps with the accounting, and now you have added volunteers.

  ### 41. Easy to Learn with Excellent Support Resources

  ### 42. User Friendly and Affordable System

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Melissa P. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2024

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

We've had a positive experience using Bonterra as our CRM. It's helped us to better track donations and communicate with donors. Other features we've enjoyed are its user friendly interface, how easy it was to set up, and the affordable price tag.

We would love to see Bonterra integrate with more social media platforms and allow us to modify the header information that displays on contact records.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bonterra primarily solved for donation tracking and consolidating our communications. We enjoy the centralized platform and ease of use. It's also incredibly affordable, which is great for our bottom line.

  ### 43. Every Fundraising Need in One Package

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kate H. | Chief of Staff, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2024

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

The platform offers all the elements needed for donor management, including a variety of communication platforms, and for fundraising efforts, such as event ticketing and silent auctions. We've used it all and couldn't be happier with the ease and functionality. Three of our staff use the platform every day, and we are very pleased with customer support.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Being charged for records with zero dollar donations. We have many subscribers, such as local media, who are not donors, but who receive our monthly digital newsletter; each of those non-revenue generating records increase the price of our Bonterra subscription.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The platform functionality is one of the easiest to learn. We've had a bit of turnover since implementing in July 2020, but teaching new staff is not difficult. Plus the online help guides are excellent, and customer support is very responsive.

**Official Response from Kathleen Connelly:**

> Hi Kate, thank you for your thoughtful review! We appreciate your feedback regarding support and your favorite functionalities. Your input continuously helps us improve! 

  ### 44. Great donor management system and peer to peer giving platform for the price

**Reviewed by:** Bonnie S. | Interim Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 04, 2021

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

Straight forward record keeping. Customer service is top-notch. Very user friendly.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

The only downside is the inability to run a report on soft credits and assign in bulk through import, but we have found an easy workaround. Also had can not assign contacts to certain team members.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using Network for Good to manage all donor records effectively. We also use it for all marketing of annual appeals and other fundraising activities as well as peer to peer fundraising.

  ### 45. User-Friendly Platform with Outstanding Support and Room to Grow

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Fund-Raising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

What I like best about Bonterra Network for Good is their outstanding customer support and commitment to helping nonprofits succeed. From the very beginning, their team is responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive—whether it's troubleshooting an issue, helping us customize a campaign, or following up to ensure everything is running smoothly.

The platform is user-friendly, but what really sets it apart is the wealth of training opportunities they offer—from live webinars to on-demand tutorials—making it easy for staff and volunteers at all levels to build confidence and maximize impact. Their personalized onboarding and continued engagement make us feel like a valued partner, not just a customer.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

One area for improvement with Bonterra Network for Good is that some features aren’t as intuitive as I would expect, especially given how user-friendly the rest of the platform is. Occasionally, certain functions take a few extra steps to locate, which can slow things down. That said, their excellent customer service and responsive support team usually help resolve issues quickly, and the available training resources go a long way in helping users navigate any challenges.

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bonterra Network for Good is helping us solve several key challenges in nonprofit fundraising and donor engagement. It centralizes our donor data, streamlines online giving, and simplifies campaign management - all in one place. This has saved valuable time and allowed us to focus more on building relationships rather than managing spreadsheets or juggling multiple systems.

The platform’s donor segmentation and communication tools help us personalize outreach and steward donors more effectively, which has led to stronger engagement. The reporting features also make it easier to track impact and share results with our board and stakeholders, enhancing transparency and trust.

  ### 46. A Wonderful Software for Data Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Emily A. | Assistant Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2024

**What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?**

I started using Bonterra Guided Fundraising when I became associated with a nonprofit that had run for 40 years, but didn't track donors or data. I really appreciate that this software allows me to have a comprehensive look at our donors over many years as I continually input data.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?**

The only thing I dislike about Bonterra Guided Fundraising is that it is quite an investment for a small nonprofit. However, we were able to get our first year through a grant program, and it's well worth the investment to continue to use this platform year after year!

**What problems is Bonterra Network for Good solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm finally able to consolidate our nonprofit's donorbase and data over decades. I love that I can search for a particular donor, update their data, and get in contact with them as soon as possible!

**Official Response from Kathleen Connelly:**

> Thank you for your feedback, Emily! We're delighted our platform has significantly impacted your nonprofit's donor management after 40 years - wow! We appreciate your acknowledgment of the long-term value, especially with the grant program's assistance. We're here to support you further as we work together to drive positive change and strengthen our communities.

The difficulty level of the program, and the intricate/clunky Help Center, required hours of trial and error, this was compounded with the necessary organizational experience needed to customize the platform for best results.

  - [There has to be a way to go from event to event and let’s say I raise 100k. 1 check gets sent of 25k.

It’s a book keeping nightmare.](https://www.g2.com/discussions/there-has-to-be-a-way-to-go-from-event-to-event-and-let-s-say-i-raise-100k-1-check-gets-sent-of-25k-in-the-mean-time-i-start-another-event-after-the-100k-event-if-i-sold-this-event-out-before-the-next-check-is-sent-off-you-can-t-tell-the-difference-in-fun) - 2 comments, 1 upvote
