Fundraising Software Discussions
Curious how the nonprofit and fundraising community on G2 sees this one. Event fundraising and general giving used to run through separate tools with separate donor lists. Looking for the best fundraising platforms for nonprofits collecting event registration and donations through a single form, and specifically whether that single form actually feeds one donor record instead of two systems to reconcile later.
I want to start a discussion on G2 about how well the fundraising platforms actually pull that off, since a few keep coming up for handling registration, donations, and the donor record in one place:
- Zeffy (4.9/5, 2540+ reviews): runs donation forms, event ticketing, auctions, and peer-to-peer campaigns from one dashboard, with giving history and contact records rolled into a single built-in CRM.
- Bloomerang Fundraising, formerly Qgiv (4.7/5, 275+ reviews): built so every gift and interaction across forms, events, and peer-to-peer pages rolls into one supporter record instead of a separate system to reconcile.
- Bonterra Network for Good (4.6/5, 415+ reviews): combines donor management, online fundraising, and communication tools in one integrated system built for small and growing nonprofits.
- Panorama (4.0/5, 65+ reviews): bakes donor management and CRM directly into event registration and donation forms, positioned as one source of truth for donor engagement.
For anyone who's run both an event registration and a general donation campaign on the same platform: did the donor actually end up as one record, or did you still have to merge them by hand?
I’d test this with the messiest donor scenario: someone buys two event tickets, adds a donation at checkout, then gives again a month later using a different email address. If Zeffy or Bloomerang can recognize that as one supporter without manual cleanup, that’s the single-record workflow I’d care about.

We’re currently exploring:
- Givebutter – for flexible online fundraising campaigns.
- Fundraise up – for high-conversion donation pages.
- Bloomerang fundraising – for online giving and reporting.
- Bonterra network for good – for integrated online fundraising.
- Donorbox – for embeddable donation forms.
More specific questions we’re asking:
- How customizable are donation pages?
- What tools support campaign optimization?
- How clearly can results be tracked and shared?
For teams running ongoing online campaigns, we’re trying to identify which tools balance simplicity and performance.
If you’ve managed online fundraising, what would you recommend?
