Bonterra Network for Good Reviews & Product Details

I really appreciate being able to look at historical donor data with Bonterra Network for Good. It's helpful to know what donors have given, when they've given, and in honor of whom. I also find it extremely useful and user-friendly for managing our fundraising events, like setting up sponsorships and ticket sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the event space of the software, on the user's end, it was not super user friendly. We had some feedback from people who came to our event that said that the logging in and registration process was confusing. I think that on the user end, people purchasing tickets and bidding on silent auction items, that experience could be improved to be a little bit more user friendly, especially for older folks who don't typically use that type of stuff.

I like that Bonterra Network for Good is live, which lets us see donations in real time. We can also update our accounts with checks or direct deposits and see all transactions live. It's valuable because we can track our progress weekly or monthly, and it helps us manage our monthly budget. The system allows better engagement with donors by facilitating timely communication and fundraising actions. Additionally, transitioning to Bonterra was easy, with helpful videos and AI features that answer questions instantly, making it a user-friendly experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not always happy with the way the features for pulling stats and understanding lapsed donors work. These features are not very easy or user-friendly to get out of Bonterra Network for Good. I think this might have to do with how Bonterra and Network communicate about how the money is being dispersed into our account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the least helpful thing is that when you are creating an event or making a letter or email, it doesn't explain enough what each function does as you are creating it, so I end up skipping a lot of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the templates for the donation page are limiting in terms of customization options. There are constraints on how much I can customize, particularly regarding images and text formatting for things like donation impact statements. Additionally, the email creation software can be quite tricky to use, limiting my ability to do all the customization that I desire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the functionalities provided by Bonterra Network for Good, including the CRM capabilities that help manage donor information and their contributions, both in-kind and monetary. I love the campaign and event management features that allow me to run campaigns, manage ticket sales for events, and have these seamlessly integrate with the CRM, ensuring all event information is transferred automatically. The ability to maintain ongoing communication and touchpoints with our donors is highly beneficial as it supports our organization's engagement efforts. Furthermore, I value the recent inclusion of AI, which has the potential to greatly enhance ease of reporting once further optimized, allowing for quicker access to data and insights needed for tasks like constructing reports for donor management. At this time, AI tool was not able to successfully pull this report for me. The ability to handle mass email and text communications within one platform is incredibly advantageous. I consistently recommend Bonterra Network for Good on various platforms, committees, and partnerships due to these valuable capabilities and the platform’s forward-thinking direction in donor engagement and relationship management.

I find it challenging that there is a lack of user-friendly reporting functionalities within the system itself. Having to export data to Excel spreadsheets for further manipulation is cumbersome and inefficient, especially with over 5,000 donors in the management system. This process not only causes confusion but also introduces possibilities for human error. Additionally, the current AI integration has limitations, as it cannot yet produce specific reports, such as those needed for annual appeals (mass mail out process i need all donors (donations/ticket purchases/etc.) with mailing addresses present that have given within the last 3 years to our organization and include all major lifetime donors with mailing addresses ($5,000 and up) in one comprehensive report. There is no streamlined user-friendly reporting that can handle this request without spending hours reviewing Excel Spreadsheets. Furthermore, relying on third parties for verifying mailing addresses and manipulating data further complicates our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bonterra Network for Good is the only online donation platform I've used. So I don't have a lot to compare it to. With that being said, I find it universally great for tracking donors and their donations. It offers a lot of features to initiate contact with current, old and lapsed donors. I would also like to mention that there have been significant changes that have made it easier to use, easily integrated with QuickBooks as well as clear and precise AI help to address any support issues I may come accross.

I find the cost to be a little on the high side. The price would be the biggest factor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you understand how to use the system, it is easy to use, allows you to divide contacts into groups so you can send specific communications to various contacts and the donation platform is easy for donors and enables us to manage donations quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use the system to communicate with donors and clients. The systems sometimes bounces non-gmail emails and that can be frustrating. It is a setting that needs to be reset every now and again. Also, bounced emails are not removed from your contacts, so when you review annually, you must request they delete the bounced emails. If you do not request this, the bounced emails could place you in a higher contact level and the system costs more money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
