## Bonterra DonorDrive Reviews
  ### 1. Great Visibility Into Events and Outcomes

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chloe C. | Crew Member, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2026

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

The ability to see past events and their outcomes. I also like how you can see how many of each specific ticket type sold from previous events.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I dislike how it’s confusing whether DonorDrive or Help Make Miracles should be used. The Help Make Miracles site was recommended to me, but DonorDrive is the actual website that is used to create and track events.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I haven’t noticed a difference with the two sites (DonorDrive and Help Make Miracles) I just have to be careful about always going to DonorDrive, because that’s where I find the most success in navigating to my events

  ### 2. Top Notch P2P Software

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amber E. | Sr. Director, Database Management, Non-Profit Organization Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Our team is still fantastic and we still love the product and the integration. Support is still top notch in most cases.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

The acquisition has seemed to slow down the roadmap quite a bit.  It also seems like there might be more bureaucracy going on, which feels less focused on customers. There's still a number of features for individual giving forms and events that we'd love to see like more flexible layouts, upgrades to placeholders, sponsorship sales, and improvements to reporting. There also have not been any AI related upgrades, and I'd like to see this to ensure that the product isn't falling behind. There also seems to be less support coverage on chat, which is a bummer.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

DonorDrive has helped us reduce administrative burdens on our operations, marketing and development teams. It has also allowed our participants to fundraise more effectively and utilize available resources.

**Official Response from Sam Moore:**

> Amber, thanks so much for your review - and for your ongoing partnership in helping us improve DonorDrive! We’re so glad to hear that our product and our support team have made things easy for your staff and your fundraisers. Thanks also for your feedback about email opt-outs! We recently released an improvement to our default Constituent Export that adds Email Unsubscribe Date as an available field - this allows you to pull a report on all constituents who have opted out of emails. Also, please note that although constituents can unsubscribe from Scheduled Messages and Email Campaigns, they cannot unsubscribe from Triggered Notifications (aka transactional messages). If there are additional capabilities you’d like to see from our email system, please get in touch with us - and thank you again!

  ### 3. Easy Adoption with Strong Fundraising Tools and Tight CRM Integrations

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeffrey W. | Senior Windows System Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Focus has been easy for our end users to adopt. It offers strong peer-to-peer fundraising tools and tight CRM/data integrations, which help us as a nonprofit save staff time and raise more money.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

For us, the reporting has some serious gaps and still needs refinement, and overall it feels very clunky to use. It’s also typically laggy when running reports, which makes the process frustrating. We also find the email tools to be really inadequate.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

If your nonprofit needs an all-in-one platform for event fundraising, participant engagement, and cleaner donor data, DonorDrive’s biggest advantage is that it brings these fundraising tools together with greater operational efficiency.

  ### 4. Effortless Event Management with DonorDrive

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2026

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I love the ease of Bonterra DonorDrive with everything needed on one platform. It's great for getting participants registered, accepting donations, and tracking fundraising. My favorite part is the emails, which we use a lot to contact our participants without having to keep track of all the emails and names. We can easily separate emails to send to participants with different experience levels, like first year versus five years. I've heard the initial setup was super easy too.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Maybe more ways to narrow down who the emails get sent to

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bonterra DonorDrive streamlines registration, donation acceptance, and fundraising tracking, while simplifying email communications with participants, enhancing our organization.

  ### 5. Donor Drive is great for fundraising.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jessica M. | Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2022

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I like the custom integration. Availability for the teams to register themselves and do required fundraising.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

No, they have had great changes. I can’t think of anything that really makes me say that they need to improve maybe the formatting of the HTML on landing pages.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They have got rid of some of the glitches.

  ### 6. Donor Drive Review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alex S. | Project Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

My role has recently shifted and I will be using DonorDrive in new and more ways than in the past, so while I'm not sure what new features have been implemented since Bonterra, I'm eager to find out.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Still not a fan of the time out button! 

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In my current role I am not personally working with Donor Drive, however over the past few years the integration of cash and child sponsorship to fundraising portals and pages has been a big thing.

  ### 7. DonorDrive Review from ADA

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jade C. | Development Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I love that Donor Drive is easy navigate and provides real time insights to the upcoming events and participants that have registered. It makes reaching out to constituents simple and I can pull results quickly. I also enjoy the ability to sort the results by date or donation amount.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I wish there was a way to pull reports or download a list of participants and their donations into an excel or easy to read spreadsheet. While Donor Drive has been a great tool for reaching out to our constituents, this would go a step further and make it even quicker and more simple to track outreach.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Donor Drive helps us identify who and when constituents register for our specified community events. In the nonprofit space, it provides us the ability to increase revenue by targeting donor amount and registration dates.

  ### 8. Powerful Yet Simple

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I'm using DonorDrive in the context of organizing a Mini-THON event for my high school.  As such, there is a mix of:

-Adults using it in an advisory/administrative role.

-Student officers using it in a leadership position.

-Student participants using it as a means to be part of the event.


These are three widely different applications and yet the software seems to have come easily to all three groups.  I enjoy how powerful it is, allowing me to export exactly the data I want with custom formatting.  My students are able to provide troubleshooting for their peers without resorting to contacting me every time, and the normal users (event participants) are registering and creating teams with ease.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Minor, but I found I had to adjust a bit to some terminology.  I had to learn what "Event Insights" meant and how that might be different from "Control Panel," for example.  Every new piece of software has a learning curve, though.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A Mini-THON event involves hundreds of participants forming (and re-forming) dozens of teams while raising thousands of dollars.  We simply couldn't manage it all without giving students a "them-facing" platform to do their own coordination.  DonorDrive is perfect for this role, but it also fits nicely with my own reporting tools I've built in Excel, since DonorDrive is so customizable.

  ### 9. Bonterra DonorDrive has been so helpful!!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Erica Y. | President, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

DonorDrive has been so simple to use which has been the most helpful aspect!! Being President of my organization means that I have to make sure all of my members get onto DonorDrive including our alumni. However, with DonorDrive it takes me no time at all to get everyone on! Even my older family members who are not so good with technology have been able to get on and donate with no problems!

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I’m not sure if this is a DonorDrive issue or an issue related to my fundraiser but I dislike how my DonorDrive link will stop working after the fundraising period is over. I’d like to go in and still see my account but I’m not able to do so. Again, this could definitely just be because of the guidelines my fundraiser has!

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

DonorDrive has been helping me solve the problem of keeping track of our funds. With other products, I haven’t been able to track our progress or see each individual’s progress but with DonorDrive it allows me to see everything!

  ### 10. Easy-to-Use Templates, but Limited Customization Options

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Simple templates to work with. A lot of the functionality works seamlessly as well. The knowledge base and customer support is also very easy to interact with.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Having things be simple has a natural downside. The downside is that is there is less customization in design to go deeper (using code to adjust the templates). Also, custom fields on forms are not completely fleshed out. For example, after creating a form for donation and registrations for constituents to complete there's no way to bulk import these answers as an admin. There's more smaller situations like these.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having the fundraising platform for large-small events is very helpful with the use of templates. After the setup it is easy to replicate annual events every year.

  ### 11. Donor Drive Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Anya J. | Development Coordinator, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

It is way easier than the platform we were using before (Convio). The report section is tricky to learn but once you get the hang of it, super simple and sleek to use.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I do wish there was a revenue breakdown for when doing a custom range for data tracking but other than that great!

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main one its solving for me is data analysis. Even though it has its qualms like any system, its much easier to use (my old platform is Convio).

  ### 12. Overall positive, although could be made a bit more simple.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brandon C. | Penn State THON fundraiser., Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I like that DonorDrive is, for the most part, a simple to use fundraising platform. I like that data can be tracked regarding how funds are raised and by whom. It is also a useful tool to lead a team of fundraisers. I have not had to use customer support thus far and have been using it for a few years.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I do wish it were a bit easier to manage a team. The dashboard for the leader of an organization can be a bit confusing for an individual using it for the first time. I feel it could be organized a bit better and more streamlined throughout.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking users who are fundraising for my team and providing a platform that donors can fairly easily donate to anytime, anywhere.

  ### 13. Donor Drive through PDM

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Terri K. | High School COunselor, Student Council Advisor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

It is very easy to have high school students register for our event.  We can see how many have registered and how much we have raised.  I also like that you can see a list of all the students registered which we print out as our check-in list at the event.  I also like that we do not have to actually handle the money.  Finally, I like that we can see the stats from prior years that we have used this for our event linked to PDM (Pitt Dance Marathon).

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Even though each year we do our t-shirts on our own, it keeps putting that back on the registration which causes confusion every year.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows us to register high school students without having to handle the cash.  It also makes it very visible to outside donors that the students are asking for donations for a legitimate cause and they give their donation directly to that.

  ### 14. DonorDrive is a great system to use, highly recommend.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Finding simple data is incredibly easy and helps inform us all when making quick decisions, especially on critical fundraising days. In addition to the quick stats that can easily be seen on an event or donor dashboard, more detailed reports can be pulled, which has proven to be very valuable as we analyze data year-over-year to inform our fundraising strategy. Teaching students to use it is also very straightforward - it can be implemented and integrated among student organizations easily. The ease of use directly supports the frequency of use, as both the students and I were reviewing DonorDrive data daily.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Pulling detailed reports takes some practice, but becomes easy after a couple of times.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

DonorDrive allows Children's Miracle Network Dance Marathons supporting our hospital easily fundraise and collect data that is used to make informed decisions about strategy on the administration end, while being a user-friendly platform on the front end, allowing our organization to easily collect and process millions each year.

  ### 15. Super Helpful and Easy to Use Donor Drive

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chloe S. | SG Mini - Thon, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

That it is very helpful and easy to understand and use the donor drive.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

One thing that I do dislike is that the donor drive has a time limit with putting everything in and using the drive its hard to get a lot of things done when you need to sign back in.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

That no matter what question I have they will always help me and explain what I need to do.

  ### 16. Organized, Easy to Use, and Amazing

**Reviewed by:** Hadley K.

**Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2025

**Reviewed by:** Ella M. | n/a, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2025

The most helpful aspect is the ability to access all things in one place. You are able to access things such as fundraising as well as the appearance of the website.

I dislike how much that goes on when you click on different things it is complicated to understand where to go for everything.

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2025

Anytime I run into an issue or need help navigating the platform, the customer service team has always been an amazing help. They offer screenshots and step by step approach. It is really helpful!

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I don't have many complaints but sometimes it seems like the UI/UX design might be a bit outdated for the page builder. It would be nice to have something more flexible to work with.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows our donors to create their own fundraisers instead of us always having to create them.

It offers a simple system that is easy to use and allows organizations to set up and manage fundraising events and donations. Customer support provides responsive, knowledgeable service. Their support team is accessible via chat, email, and phone, quickly resolving any issues or questions.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tucker K. | Primary THON Chair, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 02, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Very easy to navigate and clean looking display

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Sometimes runs slow when many users are on it

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helping us raise money easily and efficiently which hasn't been done before

  ### 26. It’s very helpful for securing online donations.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

It helps our club get our message out there through social media and the internet.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

The sign in is difficult. There’s a different way for admins to sign in and I always forget how to do it.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps us secure online donations.

  ### 27. Really liked the mobile and social media fundraising integration

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Fund-Raising | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

It is really easy to integrate mobile fundraising and social media fundraising (e.g. Facebook). I think this is helpful to boost the amount that our challenge event fundraisers can raise, as it is very easy for us to support them on these platforms.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

I found some of the reporting and analytics tools a little tricky to use, but this might be because I am not that savvy with data and analytics!

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were struggling to support our challenge event fundraisers who were raising money primarily through social media platforms and online giving pages, as our CRM didn't have any kind of integration with this. Now it is very simple for us to incorporate these pages and easily see how our fundraisers are progressing towards their targets, and offer support and solutions to help them reach their goals.

  ### 28. DonorDrive makes my role as Development Director so much easier!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** nancy  S. | Development Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2024

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

DonorDrive is intuitive and nimble; so easy to use for reporting, measuring daily metrics, creating custom reports and for gaining insight into our event participants and our event planning and execution. Overall, it is a flexible user-friendly platform that makes integration of data simple and reliable. I use DonorDrive many times a day. I have not had to use their customer support but am aware that it is readily available.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

The only downside of DonorDrive is remembering when events and campaigns are archived and how to create and run those reports.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

DonorDrive enables me to view my fundraising events in real time, create custom reports quickly that I can use for outreach, and to measure the success of our internal efforts.

  ### 29. Excellent

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2025

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

It is so easy to use.  Everything makes sense, and it runs so smoothly across platforms.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Logging on every so often, kicking you off.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

  ### 30. DonorDrive is a fantastic program that I am the admin for for my THON organization at Penn State.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2024

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

What is most helpful about DonorDrive is its ease of use. DonorDrive is very easy to navigate and is friendly to users of all ages. For example, my grandmother who is not technology-friendly had a perfectly fine time using DonorDrive. The site is simple, yet has many behind the scenes features that only improve the use. I use DonorDrive often and it is the fundraising site Penn State uses for THON. It has been very easy to implement within our org and from what our members have said, they have integrated well, as have I.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

The admin side of DonorDrive can be slightly confusing and difficult to navigate if you've never used it before. There are a lot of hoops to jump through to get to where you want to go. There are almost so many features that it gets confusing. If there were more straightforward ways to navigate the admin side, I would have no dislikes about the program. However, whenever I do encounter an issue, DonorDrive's customer support is very helpful in helping navigate the problem.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

DonorDrive solves the issue of scattered and unallocated funds. Because it is the primary source we use for fundraising, all the funds go exactly where its expected and needed to go. It has benefitted me by saving time finding where funds came from and having to put them into our org.

DonorDrive's customer service is the best I've experienced in fundraising software. They address any question or concern immediately, along with follow ups on any issues that may occur. The product is easy to use from an administrative standpoint and intuitive for participants to use. DonorDrive has helped boost our fundraising from $1.2m to a $1.8m event is 3 years.

There are a few administrative areas that could be improved withbthe product including the ability to create custom reports without having to go through support, and the ability to delete old forms, participant types and other items.

Autocommunications, giving the participant the ability to propel their own fundraising using the tools in their dashboards and giving our staff the ability to put reaources in the dashboard cuts down of the amount of staff time needed to answer questions.

By far and away, the ability to run customized reports is my absolute favorite feature of DonorDrive. I also find it very easy to use from a new users perspective.

I haven't yet really encountered anything overly limiting about DonorDrive. if I'm being truly critical in a very picky way, the fact that I get logged out after just a few minutes of inactivity is slightly annoying.

With thousands of constiuents to track, contact, incentivize, and maintain, DonorDrive makes my job manageable while facilitating effortless sharing of instituional knowledge.

  ### 35. DonorDrive:  A True Partner in Success

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2021

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

DonorDrive empowers our organization to deliver a seamless experience for both our fundraising administrators and donors.  The platform's intuitive design simplifies the creation and management of peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns.  The user-friendly interface caters to both back-end and front-end users, ensuring efficient campaign management and a positive donor experience.

Beyond the exceptional product, the DonorDrive team has established themselves as a valuable partner in achieving our mission.  Their commitment to problem-solving ensures we can consistently provide the best possible experience for our constituents.  The team's responsiveness extends beyond our expectations.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

In some aspects, the product feels over-simplistic. Lacks some administrative functionality, more granular settings and access on the admin side is desired.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The primary problem we were solving in switching to DonorDrive was integration with our constituent management system to ensure we provide the best constituent experience possible. In addition to CMS integration, we have gained additional fundraising capabilities for our fundraisers and a drastically better user interface for our admins and fundraisers.

**Official Response from Kasey Cuppoletti:**

> Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on both the product and working with our team! We are thrilled to hear that you find our team to be a true partner in success! That is our goal.

Additionally, thank you for the feedback regarding the administrative functionality. We appreciate any comments on how we can improve and will take them into consideration as we plan future enhancements.

  ### 36. It loads super fast and is a great way to fundraise. The admin side is super clear and easy to use.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Fund-Raising | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2024

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Super clear ways to get to everything and sort through the pages. Every time I log on it loads super fast and moves very quickly. It was easy to learn and get used to the software.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Wish there was an option to sort by the date the page was made. Other sort options are good!

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It solves the issue of havign donors mail in all money via cash of check. Through our program we cannot accept credit or debit cards so it is a great way to raise money without having to only use cash or check.

  ### 37. Donor Drive is great!!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2024

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Donor Drive has been a great platform for my non-profit to increase our online fundraising revenue and constituency! The program is easy to use, both for us administrators and for our fundraising participants, and the system offers great reporting, customization, etc.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

The email functionality could be improved. It's pretty basic HTML with little customization options, so we aren't really able to brand it in a way that feels like it comes from our organization. We don't really use the email functionality for that reason.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Donor Drive is our primary online fundraising software. We've used it for 6 years now, and we've been really pleased with how it allows us to grow our fundraising constituency, increase our revenue and event participation, and customize the product to suite our variety of fundraising events and initiatives. When we onboarded in 2018, it solved an immediate need which was a fundraising software that felt like it was modern, easy for the front end user, and had certain reporting features that would allow our fundraising staff to do the work of increasing fundraising revenue year over year. We've stayed with Donor Drive because the system still solves that need for us.

**Official Response from Kasey Cuppoletti:**

> Thank you for your feedback! We're really glad to hear that DonorDrive is helping you increase your constituent base and fundraising revenue year over year! 

Thank you for your input about the email functionality as well. Please do reach out to our Support team in your Support Portal to discuss branding customizations you'd like to see so we can help or get more specific information on what you're looking for.

The Donation Import Tool.  We use it primarily to enter check donations that then sync into Salesforce.  I have suggested this to their team and they are currently working on a resolution to minimize time and be more effecient.

Making the Donation Import Tool more user friendly to minimize the time it takes for us to enter information.

  ### 42. Great P2P Platform

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2024

**What do you like best about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

One of the best things I have seen from DonorDrive is the ability to push changes from a template to the child events in less than a minute. In addition, you have the ability to control which events can have these changes from the template.

Customer Service is amazing! I work alot with Kristy and John and they are phenomenal to work with. Furthermore, if the issue is very complex, they do not mind setting up a call with you to discuss further.

The reports are amazing compared to what I previously used in the past, not only does it have canned reports but you can also create your reports as well.

Their knowledge base contains alot of useful documentation when using their product.

Another great feature is the ability to register a large team using a .csv file in DonorDrive.

**What do you dislike about Bonterra DonorDrive?**

Whenever we create form that needs a few questions added, we need to log a support case with DD to have these fields added to the report. Takes one week to do.

Running reports on a Monday, can take a while. This has always been an issue ever since we got this platform.

No survey capabilities.

The ability to change the price for a ticketed event requires a ticket.

For ticketed event, there is not a way we can hide a specific ticket type from the public and to be shared only with a few participants.

There should be a functionality that checks to see if the person registering is a child (checks birthday) and stops the child from registering who is underage.

**What problems is Bonterra DonorDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A few but the biggest is the ability for the leaderboard to reflect both unverified and verified gifts for a participant/team.

**Official Response from Kasey Cuppoletti:**

> Thank you for sharing your positive experience using DonorDrive and with our Support team! Glad to hear that you find the platform user-friendly and that our team has been helpful. We appreciate your feedback on areas for improvement and will take them into consideration for future updates.
