"GiveGab was actually a lifesaver."
What do you like best about Bonterra GiveGab?

Their support team is extremely helpful and quick to respond, but also played a key role in our first giving day especially. We decided to do a giving day during 2020 pretty late in the game, but their project managers and support team helped us every step of the way and helped keep us on track as we planned for the day. We also find it user friendly for our donors and participating nonprofits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra GiveGab?

I just wish we were able to download reports of analytics from our giving day. Hopefully one day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GiveGab is Great!"
What do you like best about Bonterra GiveGab?

I like the ease of using the system and being able to provide insight on some of the things that they may want to incorporate in the future. When I first started with GiveGab I had less than 2 months to prepare but the team that I had went straight to work to assist in the development of the website and creat the content for me. We have been able to add on a little piece each year to see what really workd for us and it has been amazing. Then on the day of we had 24/7 support throughout the giving day .

What do you dislike about Bonterra GiveGab?

Nothing that I can say that I dislike at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Customer Service"
What do you like best about Bonterra GiveGab?

Wonderful customer service. Help you set up the event and then walk you through every step. They are also wonderful at listening to your needs and helping you find a way to make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra GiveGab?

We are a small event so we don't utilize all the resources like we should. If you are putting on a big event or raising money for many organizations, I think this should be your first and only stop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great staffing, assistance and setup"
What do you like best about Bonterra GiveGab?

The team helped us through our first giving day. We had no idea how to run a campaign, and the team went step-by-step in helping us develop a page, work out a marketing plan, and run the giving day altogether. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra GiveGab?

We could have used more assistance with our marketing plan. We didn't know the best way to get the word out and we probably didn't maximize our intake as a result. They did provide resources and schedules and ideas, but we didn't get any advice or strategy to doing so, or any tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Giving Day Platform"
What do you like best about Bonterra GiveGab?

Working with the Bonterra team has always been a positive experience. This platform has been easy to use and easy to edit or implement changes. Their customer service team is helpful and kind. We work them on our Idaho Gives Giving Day platform. This is a huge event for us and they have always provided us a level of support where we feel supported and comfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra GiveGab?

Through our Idaho Gives giving day, some folks want to speak on the phone for technical support. Currently Bonterra does not provide phone support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Driver of our giving success"
What do you like best about Bonterra GiveGab?

The platform allows us to reach thousands of community members interested in giving that we would not otherwise be able to effective reach and receive donations from. The peer-to-peer function is a great added bonus that further expands our reach. I love the leaderboard function that adds a layer of competition between our campaign participants. So many functions and benefits that we enjoy about Bonterra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra GiveGab?

Bonterra is set up to have donations go directly to the organizations participating in our campaign. It would be nice if this was not required. If we, as the host/sponsor, could receive donations on other organizations behalf and disburse funds to them after the campaign, it would be helpful for some participants who do not have sophisticated financial management practices/systems.

"Bonterra (formerly GiveGab) has added new pieces that have been very helpful in the past year."
What do you like best about Bonterra GiveGab?

When you have a great customer relationship manager that is working to set up your day the process is incredibly smooth. We have had a great year so far with our giving day and look forward to breaking records again due to their support.

We also use the Philanthropy Hub product for our community and this has been a game changer. It's a great platform that we look forward to seeing become more robust through the next few years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra GiveGab?

I wish the reporting were more robust to see accumulative giving regardless of the nonprofit that a donor has given toward. The stripe verification sometimes slows down our organizations that are signing up but this would occur with any giving day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Just like Family"
What do you like best about Bonterra GiveGab?

Getting to know our project manager, with a project such as a giving day it takes alot and it's helpful to work with staff that has passion and is bought in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra GiveGab?

Some of the formatting is standard and nonprofits have wanted to change things that are standard on their proflle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Soup to Nuts Event Support"
What do you like best about Bonterra GiveGab?

The Bonterra team provides wrap-around services from event pre-planning, participant training and preparation and event wrap-up. The platform is stable and, for the most part, is able to handle donor traffic throughout the giving day. The event team is always available to provide a stress-free experience. Love that participants receive contributions directly via the platform rather than everything having to flow through us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra GiveGab?

Financial reporting could be improved, especially the clarity of transactions to our accounting system. The app does not seem to work as well as the web platform. It froze a few times during our last giving day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Results matter"
What do you like best about Bonterra GiveGab?

We have been able to achieve success via Bonterra Giving Days. It allows you to take ownership of your own success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonterra GiveGab?

The platform provides challenges especially when you are trying to create custom pages and builds. Our account manager has been helpful in resolving these issues, but they are challenging at times. Like any software it is about learning the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
