Question on: Bonterra Salsa CRM
How will CRM software help my nonprofit?
C
I spent several years helping small nonprofit's grow quickly and raise more funds. In my experience, an effective CRM software was one of the most important things a small nonprofit could do to take their organization to the next level.
For smaller nonprofits, CRM's can feel expensive, but they really are an important element of growth. Specifically, a good CRM will help steward donors, retain donors, and help build long term relationships that lead to major gifts.
A great CRM for nonprofits will include the following:
- Donor Management and Contact Management
- Online Giving Pages
- Email Marketing
- Reporting and Visualizations
***Recommended Tools***
My advice would be to look for an affordable, well rated tool. If you're a small nonprofit, my top suggestion would be DonorDock. If you're a large nonprofit with a fundraising team and large budget, I would recommend B.
If you're a small nonprofit, you can check out DonorDock at https://www.donordock.com, or view their G2 profile here: https://www.g2.com/products/donordock/reviews?

Question on: Givebutter
Are there plans to allow a choice for opt-in to cover fees as opposed to the requirement to opt-out?
We have received pushback from some of our donors about covering the fees, especially since it is not as apparent as a checkbox to check or uncheck to decide. It would be great to have the option, in a campaign, to determine if the choice should be defaulted to on or off and make it as clear as a checkbox that a donor is opting to cover the fee or not.
Hey George! Thanks for raising this request. We have a feature request for this very idea, which you can find below. 🥳 It is currently under review, and if you upvote it below, then you will be notified about any updates in the future! 🎉 Thanks again, George!
