What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?

I appreciate that the price point makes it very affordable or our small nonprofit model. The onboarding process was very easy, with great support all through the implementation steps. Now that we have been using the platform for nearly a year, I still receive great customer service any time there is a problem. I also appreciate that I can access the information I need on the site from anywhere through my personal log-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?

Overall I like everything about using this site. I have had an ongoing issue with logging into our giving page because my last name changed after our initial signup. I kept running into issues when working with the customer service, and in this one case I gave up trying to resolve things because I didn't feel the support person genuinly understood my problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our previous donor mangaement ran through our healthcare database system. It is clunky and does not serve donor reslations in a healpful way. Bonterra gives me ease of use and navigation, makes pulling lists and sending communication very simple. And allows me to feel confident in my data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kathleen Connelly of Bonterra Network for Good

Hi Monica, thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're pleased to hear you find our platform affordable and easy to use, and that you had a smooth onboarding process. We apologize for any login issues and if you haven't resolved this already, please reach out via chat support, email at success@networkforgood.com, or give us a call at (202) 800-0467. Your satisfaction with our service and improved donor management means a lot to us!

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?

Network For Good donor management software has solved so many problems that I would fail if I tried to list them all. Some of the problems solved were solved with features that they hadn't advertised and others were problems that we didn't even realize that we had. We have combined our volunteer database with our donor database, streamlining communications with both and turning one community into the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?

The forms need some development work to enable us to create prettier forms. Since we use Stripe through NFG to process our donations, we have to request a report each month in order to reconcile deposits to our bank account with donations on our website. This needs to be something I can pull myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We can track and acknlowedge every donation we get quickly. This alone has prompted donors to become repeat donors. The ability to create custom reports is one of the key things we were missing, but didn't realize it. Now, we couldn't live without it. Knowing which donors participate in which of our fudning efforts and why has been key to making our messaging more effective. Being able to communicate with our donors in a variety of ways, video messages, email blasts, and text blasts has enabled us to begin figuring out how and how often our donors prefer to hear from us. We were able revamp our newsletter subscriton process with a viable subscribe form with Recaptcha. Also, our subscribers can unsubscribe easily and all of this can happen without human intervention. We used to have to do both manually. We can create and send our Newsletters with an NFG email blast. Using the resultant link means we no longer have to store these on our website. We just have to put the link there. We used to use Excel to track our donations and had no database for our volunteers. Frankly, it was a mess and different pieces resided on individual computers with klunky ways to share. I'll never go back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kathleen Connelly of Bonterra Network for Good

Hi Bill, thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled our donor management software has exceeded your expectations, streamlined communications, and boosted donor retention. We appreciate your constructive feedback on form aesthetics and Stripe reconciliation -- we would recommend embedding the form on your website for aesthetic purposes, and since it sounds like you have Bonterra Payments, you should be able to pull reports now since your previous review. Please reach out to our support team anytime for further assistance. We're dedicated to continuous improvement and supporting your mission. Thank you for being part of the Bonterra community!

What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?

Bontera Guided Fundraising is intuiutive and easyt to use. The dreaded switch from our previous software went seamlessly and we were noticing improvements on day one. The Dashboards are extrememly helpful, filters are easy to use, but what really stands out is the resources and engagement plans that let us jump right in and reach more donors in an effective way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?

We have not expereienced a downside, but if I had to pick something, I would like to see a more advance search for conatct records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We can do all the things we need to do with our donors in one place and it effectively tracks what is working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps non profits raise money, and keep track of donations, while sending email blasts out for fundraisers and information to every contact at once, or in groups, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?

I value maintaining precise donor records and having an integrated system for email communication, email tracking, and ticket sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?

While the email tools and templates are very convenient, we seem to have a lot of trouble reaching all of our donors. It seems many email providers are getting better at weeding out mass emails, and we often get complaints from people who do not receive our emails, and sometimes they take it personally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps us keep detailed records, and helps guide our fundraising based on donor history and interaction. It also simplifies our event ticketing by keeping track of everything, and enabling us to print detailed reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?

Not only did we need an easy-to-use donor management system, but we needed good tech support, excellent training on how to use the system, and a coach to teach us all we needed to know about fundraising, connecting with donors, and how to maximize our donations. Bonterra delivered all that and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?

I have not found any downsides to using Bonterra Guided Fundraising unless it is that we would love to have more hours with our fundraising coach. But really, the advice we get is so helpful that we have been able to succeed at our fundraising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had our donor list on various scraps of paper and would have to hand copy adddresses--Bonterra enables us to organize and automate the whole thing. In addition, we had no idea how to write effective donor letters, fundraising appeals and so on and now we do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love its ease of use with the ability to collaborate on tasks and the variety of approaches it facilitates for fundraising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?

For our purposes, it works very well. On occasion, I have struggled to get it out to the right contacts and it would be nice if you could resend former emails with edits to allow for updates. I am sure this is already possible, but I seem to recall having a few issues around these areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our board is all over the country and even in other countries. We needed something easy to use for everyone for collaborative efforts. It has increased our fundraising results and allowed more of our organization to see what is happneing on that front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonterra Network for Good?

The automated processing of ticket purchase, donations, and reply to customer is super valuable. In 17 years, I have progressed from doing it all by hand to using another ticketer, now NFG/Bonterra. Time saved is phenomenal on our three year history.

Even our reluctant patrons have attempted to purchase tickets online, but they grab the lifeline of phone-assistance when necessary. Talking to patrons helps me to know them better and makes them appreciative of the personal touch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra Network for Good?

I seldom use the dedicated Support site, so I forget how to access it. I just noticed that it is on Help tab, so that is great.

Occasionally when I pull a list for an event, one or two paid participants are not included. I know my patrons and can easily look them up, but it is worrisome to have to wonder who might be missing and why. Patrons do not like to be slighted/inconvenienced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Bonterra frees me from handling every ticket purchase and donation individually, which allows me to spend my time on other tasks. In a small nonprofit, the few workers have a load of tasks to complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
