## Bonterra OneCause Reviews
  ### 1. The pivot to virtual fundraising was easy with OneCause!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Susan K. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2020

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

We are pleased with how easy/intuitive the OneCause platform is to operate and customize for our events and for our supporters to navigate. The online auction item donation form feature is an especially efficient tool that saves so much time -for both the staff and the donor. And, we cannot say enough about just how great the OneCause Customer Support Staff is! Our Fall 2020 Online Auction was very successful and we’re looking forward to running our Spring 2021 virtual fundraising program.

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

As with all platforms, there are a few things we hope will be revised in the near future... It would be helpful if the auction donors could submit the item photos along with the donation form rather then need to email them separately, and if all of the photos could be hosted by the OneCause platform. Setting up the ticket registration page is a little clunky, mainly because that is the credit card processor’s integrated form, we hope that can be improved for future events. It would be great if there was more direct integration for video partnerships for virtual programs on OneCause. Currently, there is no way to put the video program production behind a secure virtual ticketed portal on the OneCause site, if you post your video on our OneCause site, it can be accessed by anyone.

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

We can continue to fundraise virtually to an expanded audience and help fill the budget gaps lost from not being able to run live events. We’ll soon be opening a new OneCause platform event to host a virtual art show - normally this consignment art gallery is sold in-person at our River Farm headquarters in Alexandria, VA.  Due to Covid-19 we’ve had our Manor House closed except for private rented events.  OneCause will allow us to promote/support the artists who normally showcase their artwork at River Farm to the local community.  This virtual show will open the artists and their work to a wider national audience, and in-turn help raise funds for the artists and  a percentage of much needed art sales funds for the American Horticultural Society.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> We're so glad we could help you take your fundraising virtual in 2020, Susan. We look forward to you seeing our enhancements to ticketing, which will provide a gate for your content, in your future Virtual Events with our software. Keep on fundraising!

  ### 2. Overvall Review of OneCause for Our Events

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Patricia G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020

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

In addition to our live Power of the Purse event each year, I have been able to utilize the system for coordinating reservations for virtual gatherings, mini virtual auctions, raffles, etc. Very flexible especially during this time of everyone working remotely and maintaining safe distancing. Immediate chat and telephone support for questions and ideas is quick and response time superior! No question is a stupid question.

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

I really can't think of any aspect of OneCause that I could say I dislike!

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

As a veteran Event Planner who is experienced in having to prepare and conduct events in a manual way, OneCause has changed everything for me personally in being able to keep up with technology and conduct a successful event without near the level of stress.

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

OneCause helps a very small staff organization like our United Way of McLean County to offer great and successful fundraising and other types of events  at an affordable price.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> Wow! Using the software to suit so many needs - love to see this in action! We appreciate you, Patricia - looking forward to seeing your cause grow in 2021.

  ### 3. I wish they made a CRM

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Individual & Family Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2020

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

Using BidPal for the first time, on our first online auction, was a great experience. Absolutely very fun and easy to use on the front and back ends. So much so that I regret this is not my day to day CRM system! I also researched GreaterGiving, GiveSmart, DonorPerfect's ReadySetAuction, and Blackbaud's Maestro. BidPal was a clear winner due to both the superior front end design and robust back end reporting. (Although I suspect GiveSmart is a worthy competitor.)

Front end interface was very fun and easy for users, especially the registration. Creating packages, donation levels, sponsor logos, registration and checkout. The scoreboard once I got the hang of it was also very powerful and customizable to track results in real time. 

I loved using BidPal, and all feedback from supporters was positive too. We can't wait to use it again and to its fullest capabilities. (My checkout would have gone so much more smoothly if I had utilized the solicitor and item status sections.) Thank you for bringing our auction into the 21st century!

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

We chose BidPal mainly because of the exclusive HTML design capability of custom pages. However, only because our staff was comfortable with HTML programming were we able to use the full capabilities of the custom pages. Even then we were not thrilled with the handmade result and this was time consuming and prohibitive for making more custom pages. A bit more robust design tools would go a long way, since BidPal stands out for this feature. 

I counted three places to update the auction close times, and this was challenging to keep track of. As it was, my auction inadvertently closed for 8 hours overnight and this was very troubling. Thankfully I was able to restore without help, as it happened after hours. 

Finally, we were most disappointed with the generic thumbnail images when linking on social media. The OneCause image was more distracting that simply no thumbnail. This seems like an easy fix to insert a thumbnail of the actual page or item being linked.

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

We needed a system for registering event guests/auction bidders that captured payment data up front to smooth check-out process. With BidPal, it was amazing to check everyone out with one click and collect payment immediately! This saved hundreds in uncollected pledges and follow up time. Maybe the single most added value of the platform. Also very thankful that transactions can be processed manually for the life of the event. Even less tracking people down to fulfill pledges.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> We're so glad you and your users had such a great experience with our software and are excited to see how you continue fundraising with us in the future! We continue to improve daily and we're sure you'll enjoy our recent upgrades to photos and further streamlined user experience. Fundraise on!

  ### 4. Effective and efficient auction tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Angie W. | Systems developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 03, 2021

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

Knowledge base is thorough
Tool was easy to use
Payment processing was self explanatory

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

Supporter list should have filter options

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

By entering auction data little by little prior to the event, we saved time and eliminated worry in the week directly before our auction.  We have seen an increase in bidding, especially for our donation appeal to people contributing online.

**Official Response from Maggie Cavanaugh:**

> Thanks for the input, Angie. We appreciate seeing how user-friendly and seamless our software can be for your fundraising experience!

  ### 5. Great platform!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julie T. | Administrative Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2021

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

It was straightforward to learn and use.

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

The least helpful thing about OneCause is that the support did not respond very quickly.

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

We did not really have any problems.  The benefits were that we were able to very easily able to solve our own issues with the help section.

**Official Response from Maggie Cavanaugh:**

> We are glad to hear that the our software was easy to learn and use. So happy to be partnered with you!

  ### 6. Very Pleased!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sara P. | P, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2021

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

OneCause was very easy to use as a first time fundraiser. The support when I had questions was wonderful and the team I worked with made the whole process enjoyable from start to finish.

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

Uploading photos to the site was difficult

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

We were able to raise 90% more using OneCause for our fundraiser. We encountered a need for a virtual fundraiser during COVID and this software was the biggest blessing. We realized bidding virtually is easier to manage, quicker to put together, and generally better than a traditional fundraiser.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> So glad you chose us for your first fundraiser, Sara! 90% more raised! We love hearing these stories. We think you'll love our updates to photos in your future fundraisers.

  ### 7. Daniel Keating Foundation

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tommy B. | Strategic Development Executive, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2021

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

Personalized and hands on help from OneCause

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

I do not dislike anything about OneCause

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

We recently had an event where we raised $105,000.  The efficiencies and ease of use of OneCause helped with that.

**Official Response from Maggie Cavanaugh:**

> We love seeing the success of your fundraising event and experience with OneCause, Tommy. So thankful we can partner with you to support your fundraising efforts. 

  ### 8. Great tools for fundraising for our school's small Advancement department!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Haley B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 08, 2020

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

Having access to friendly and knowledgeable staff was huge! Made the set up for our event and day-of coordination so easy. The platform is easy to navigate. The resources for each page were concise and step-by-step.

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

Using OneCause of course cuts into some our fundraising profit by paying for the platform and services, but honestly it's still worth it!

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

Using OneCause solved several problems for our office and school. I now have the ability to run reports and do clerical tasks related to fundraising with just a few clicks. It has allowed the management and tracking of our fundraising efforts to be incredibly more efficient. We were using Excel and other pieced together methods to run fundraising events and giving campaigns. Now, it's all housed in our OneCause account, and I'm not tracking down bits and pieces of information from everywhere. Using OneCause also allowed for better coordination between the Advancement Office and our Business Office.

  ### 9. Highly recommend OneCause

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stacie B. | Director of Alumni and Special Events , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2021

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

Having our own personal representative that scheduled calls before the event and was there the night of was invaluable.

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

Only thing I would change is the receipt donors receive.

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

OneCause system was very user friendly and saved lots of time with event preperation.

**Official Response from Maggie Cavanaugh:**

> We love seeing how our software can save you and your organization valuable time. So happy to be partnered with you and your cause, Stacie! 

  ### 10. Successful Silent Auction!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Donna R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2021

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

The support team from One Cause; always ready to answer or assist with any issues or problems . The team works to help you have a successful event, based upon your platform for the event.

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

None for me .  One Cause gives you the tutorial webinars before you set up your  Giving Center, very helpful. Any questions you may have on any page the Support team always assisted.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

The ease of implanting One Cause for your fundraiser

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

Stopping the members from sharing their personal  links with others; which contained each of their personal credit card information .

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> We're glad to hear you got the most out of our OneCause University and support, Donna! Excited to fundraise together!

  ### 11. One cause review

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civic & Social Organization | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2021

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

The system is all in one for your event needs. The reporting was also very food and easy to use.

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

The website and slideshows allowed for some customization but would prefer more ways to build out the site. The link for our gala also only showed the one cause logo and looked bad when sharing on social media.

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

We use this software to operate our annual gala. Love how comprehensive the program is.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> We're so glad you could tackle everything your program needed with us. We're constantly adding enhancements to build on our user experiences - thanks for sharing your feedback with us!

  ### 12. Development Associate

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2020

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

I liked having an Event Manager and how easy it was to get in contact with that person. My Event Manager was very knowledgeable and even if she didn't have the answer she was quick to get the answer to me.

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

The inability to click  and expand a photo for a auction item. I also did not like that I could only use one photo per package and could not upload a video, but had to share the link to a video that was hosted on another platform.

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

OneCause allowed our nonprofit to hold our annual auction even if it was virtual. By having a virtual auction we were able to open the auction to others that had not participated in our live auction in the past. We have new supporters by having a virtual auction.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> Supporting missions in person and virtually has been such a rewarding experience for us and for our #FearlessFundraisers. Thrilled to hear your virtual event was able to reach more people than your live event! We're sure you'll love our recent updates to multiple photos and can't wait to hear of your future fundraising success!

  ### 13. Game changer for our fundraising

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jennifer C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 24, 2020

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

Their exceptional customer service was the clincher for me.  They made themselves available for all our functions, went out of their way to accomodate for our Alaska time zone

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

Program not the most intuitive to learn, but very powerful and worth the effort

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

Fundraisers are much more organized and professional, we have tripled the success of our fundraisers since we started using OneCause

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> Tripled the success of your fundraising! Amazing, Jennifer! We're thrilled to be a part of your fundraising and look forward to many more events together!

  ### 14. Great for virtual events and online auctions

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2020

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

Online silent auction, ability to customize the platform, super responsive customer service

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

If you publish your giving center page, you cannot fully preview your auction before it goes on the live page. I would also like to be able to customize the receipts to be thank you letters.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

All around great service for a great product. Customer support is very helpful in making your events work online. Their online tutorials are also wonderful resources to help you get familiar with the platform. I also like that I can add a board member or volunteer to our site and they can view/edit things as needed for a particular event, without them having an email from our organization or access to our server/database.

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

We are now able to host virtual events and online auctions. We have been able to extend our reach to people outside our area, which has been great!

  ### 15. OneCause has simplified our auctions, registrations and check out procedures!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2019

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

OneCause makes event day registration so easy!  The I-pads are so user friendly and collecting credit cards at registration has made our check out at the end of the night a breeze. We have been using the auction software for years, it is also very easy to use. I also LOVE all of the reports after an event!

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

This is the first year we utilized the Giving Center for reservations, overall, it went well but we need to think about better ways to capture notes from our registrants. 

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

By collecting credit cards at registration, it has saved us SO much time! We used to have to hunt down people to pay for their auction items and appeal donations if they didn't stop by  the pay station

  ### 16. Innovative, responsive and very user friendly

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2020

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

OneCause's auction platform has served as an enormous help for our annual event.  Their customer service and responsiveness to questions is top notch, the platforms are easy to navigate and use, and their price structure is friendly.

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

I can think of no downside worth mentioning.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

I would highly recommend giving OneCause a detailed look for any fundraising events, mobile bidding or virtual solutions.

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

OneCause jumped right on the virtual event platform creation right when the pandemic began to set in.  As this impacted thousands of non-profits around the country, OneCause set up a platform that has given us the ability to run successful events in a virtual space--something I'm not sure we could have pulled off without their partnership.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> This pandemic has affected so many people and causes. We are thrilled to have been able to assist your mission! Keep up the great work, #FearlessFundraiser!

  ### 17. One Cause and Non-Profit

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Teri-Gene C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2020

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

One-Cause has everything you need for a successful event.  All in one spot with easy to use tools.

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

It can be confusing when you set up and event, but it gets easier.

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

Silent Auction participation.  We did get feedback that OneCause is much more user friendly than our previous system.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> We're so glad to hear of your participants' excellent user experience with us, Teri-Gene! We look forward to our continued partnership and your fundraising success!

  ### 18. OneCause is a MUST if you want to be successful

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Angeliina L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 14, 2020

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

Integration across devices, ease of support, resources, checklists. These are important for turnover of volunteers that can help with building out the network but slow the system down by micromanaging. The deadlines keep everyone on track so that the “squirrels” do not derail the agenda.

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

Have not come across this yet. App and website is so helpful. As we enter more virtual required events I think I because will keep up with the demands since they gave many feedback systems to provide a nimble edge.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

Texting is the mode that meets the public where they are. Making it easy to participate with a simple text is getting results.

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

More template options for front facing layouts would be good to improve. More ways to customize the colors to match the company for branding.

  ### 19. Fantastic company!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Madison G. | Community Involvement and Events Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 14, 2020

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

OneCause is an incredible software tool for nonprofits. With the ease of use and the knowledge provided by the team, our events break goals year over year. Our audience has given us great feedback and we really enjoy working with them. Our auction typically has over 100 auction items and we do a live appeal. The software has allowed us to make both of these things easy for our audience and provides instant results.

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

We would really like to have an option to set up recurring donations via the software. We would love a bid to vote feature. We have a costume contest and having a live “donate a dollar” to vote option would help our event.

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

Ease of use and instant results. Capturing constituents information is also incredibly helpful.

  ### 20. Virtual Holiday Luncheon

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Individual & Family Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2020

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

OneCause's technical support is excellent.

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

We have not encountered any problems that have not been resolved promptly.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

OneCause has helped us overcome the challenge of changing our event from a face-to-face luncheon to a virtual one.  We have exceeded the sponsorship goal and are on our way to exceeding the overall goal!  I highly recommend OneCause!

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

This will be our 12th Holiday Luncheon with Friends and the pandemic created an opportunity for us to re-think the presentation.  With OneCause's help, we are preparing the website for our silent auction and program on the day of the event.  Other than the normal hiccups of learning a new program, we have swiftly moved from a face-to-face special event to an online venue.  We anticipate that we will see a huge increase in participation -- normal attendance is around 210-240 but all indicators point to a range of 600-800 this year.  With increased participation, comes increased fundraising.  In these unprecedented days, it is critical that we meet the event's goal, and exceeding it will be even better!

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> We CAN'T WAIT to see the impact of this event! We're grateful to be a part of your continued fundraising. Thank you for leaving us such a helpful review, #FearlessFundraiser!  

  ### 21. OneCause checks off every box! User-friendly, excellent aesthetics and versatile.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2020

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

OneCause is hands down the best fundraising software our non-profit has ever utilized, with not only competitive pricing but exceptional features and customer service. Our organization navigated both the peer-to-peer fundraising software and the mobile bidding software with ease, referencing the helpful resource centers and occasionally calling the help line through our planning phase. Both our peer-to-peer website and our various mobile bidding auctions were thoroughly complimented by guests for their aesthetics and ease of use. We highly recommend using OneCause and are elated with our experiences with them this year.

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

OneCause has phenomenal features, and we were never left disappointed with the value of those features. Our only "wish list" feature would simply be the ability to categorize fixed price packages in the mobile bidding software, instead of only being able to categorize the silent auction packages.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

If you are looking for a mobile bidding software with excellent aesthetics and ease of use (for both the back end admin users and guests) then OneCause is competitive with all other companies that we demoed with. Their peer-to-peer fundraising platform is also a breeze to set up and the site tracks fundraisers performances effortlessly.

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

Our non-profit Zoo was closed to the public for almost 3 months, due to the pandemic. During that time we raised critical funds through OneCause's mobile bidding software. The ease of creating auctions and the extensive detail they put into creating the peer-to-peer software are second to none.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> Thank you so much for your review! We are thrilled to be able to help you during your COVID-19 pandemic shutdown and love hearing how much you and your guests enjoyed using the mobile bidding and peer-to-peer fundraising software. We look forward to continuing to work together with you and other #FearlessFundraisers this year and beyond!

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

The customer service from the individuals we worked with at One Cause was one of the best parts. The software itself was also extremely functional and was more user friendly than our previous software from another company.

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

Not being able to upload more than one photo or easily post links without needing HTML.

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

We can easily manage our events and fundraising efforts through auctions, which we hold year-round.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> Julia, we love hearing of your experience with OneCause! We're sure you'll enjoy the recent upgrades we've made to allow multiple photos and we look forward to your future fundraising with us. #FearlessFundraiser

  ### 23. Fantastic service that allows you to supplement or replace your in-person event

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marc A. | Director of Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2020

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

OneCause allows you fundraise in multiple ways through a single event, utilizing auctions, one time donations, raffles and more, while helping you communicate with your supporters through text, email and direct mail.

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

On the user end is very much geared to mobile users, and could use more in the way of support for those on desktop or laptop computers.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

Be sure to plan enough time to familiarize yourself and learn all the ins and the outs of the system. It is very user friendly and you can put together a basic event fairly quickly, but to get the most out of what it offers will take some time.

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

OneCause helped us convert our Annual (in-person) Dinner and Auction to a virtual auction in a matter of weeks. While we weren't able to take full advantage of all the benefits of the site in the short amount of time, the ease of the site allowed us to setup a great auction for our supporters that brought in nearly as much as we had originally budgeted with the in-person event. We plan to use the site at our annual event going forward, allowing us to engage not only with those in the room but with supporters around the country.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> Marc,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. We're thrilled to have been a part of taking your event virtual with such great success and happy you're a part of our network of #FearlessFundraisers!

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

We use One Cause for all our school's major fundraising needs such as selling tuition raffle tickets, Gala tickets, hosting fund the needs, silent auctions, and tailgating spots.  One Cause is an easy record keeping system and made the organization of our mega-events so simple through multiple reports and stats capabilities.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> We love supporting schools' fundraising! Happy to be able to help you with all of your needs. Thanks for your support, #FearlessFundraiser. We appreciate you!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2020

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

Every person I have talked with throughout the entire process has been overly helpful and so patient with all of my questions. The solutions they offer are extremely user-friendly. Even this "technically challenged" person has found it easy to navigate.

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

At first, I did not like needing to sign-in to each solution separately, but it doesn't bother me anymore.

We have enjoyed having one solution for ticket purchases and our regular giving.

  ### 28. Very impressed!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jim L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 14, 2020

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

We purchased OneCause in early June to use for our golf outing. I was skeptical, but the success with that let us use it for our virtual annual gala this past weekend. It was well worth the investment.

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

It’s not exactly the most user friendly and it has limitations, but we worked through it.

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

Reaching a larger audience and our reach. It’s beneficial to have a silent auction over one week.

  ### 29. SSHS 20/21 Fundraising

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2020

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

Once my support person  (Ashley Bennet) was confirmed I had a very good experience and became comfortable with the OC format.

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

The initial videos to get started are too long. Very boring. I think they should be broken up into smaller bites.

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

WE are realizing we may not need a physical venue to hold a fundraising event and that we can reach more of our supporters virtually.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> Thank you for the helpful feedback! We're glad to hear your success with our software is helping you reach so many more supporters and we're excited to see where you take it in 2021!

  ### 30. Excellent support and very easy set-up and use.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2020

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

The ease with connecting with Raiser's Edge and the simplicity of setting it up.

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

Just using Text 2 Give right now, looking forward to using more features.  No dislikes at this point.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

Definitely do the virtual guide to use and set-up.

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

Donors like that they don't have to create an account to donate using Text 2 Give.  With pandemic, needing to get to donors quickly so they can react quickly; therefore, the texting works perfectly.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> Thanks for your review! We're glad our Text2Give solution can help your cause and help you keep on fundraising.

  ### 34. Game Changing Platform

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nathan S. | Vice President, Philanthropy, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2020

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

We moved platforms in 2020 and chose OneCause because of the front end experience, all the social media integrations and the fact the donors can opt in to cover the credit card charges (our previous system didn't allow that). The ease of editing on the back and front end are amazing and a game changer - now if something needs to be changed we can do it when we see it versus having to log into the back end and work our way into that page. It is visually appealing to the end user (and to me). I also love that their support team is open past 5 PM and gives personal touches like videos on how to do things (on your own site).

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

That they don't have their own built in email system and that the sponsor listing doesn't allow the removal of the logo naming (I think it isn't clean and somewhat tacky).

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

N/A

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

We are reducing the amount of money we are spending on our system, which allows more of the money we raise to go back to our programs and services.

**Official Response from Sarah Sebastian:**

> Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We're so glad OneCause has been a game-changer for you, and we love to hear that both you and your donors find it easy to use. It’s great to know our support team’s personal touches are helpful too!

We appreciate your feedback on the email system and sponsor listings and will pass it along to our product team. Fantastic to hear that OneCause is helping you direct more funds to your programs, which is exactly what we strive for! Thank you for partnering with us!

  ### 35. Mobile Bidding vs. Traditional Bid Sheets

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Teresa A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2020

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

The very best feature of the mobile bidding platform is the end! Within minutes of the event every piece of information is available. Receipts for both tax purposes and acknowledgment are clean provided you took the time at the beginning to set up your auction using clean standards for input.

That is where probably the most important positive feature plays an important role: the customer service for support is top notch.

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

We are still struggling with managing our donations from assigning a procurement # as they arrive to organizing and assigning a catalog/package # the week before the auction. Our supporters struggle with being given a bid # at registration and then that bid # changing when we assign the week before the event. The constant merging of registrants is a pain and not being able to sort the table coordinators alphabetically is also a feature that should be improved. We also have not come up with a good way to identify gift-in-kind donors

We would like to see item donations included on the receipt along with ticket registration, cash gifts and auction purchases.Currently we send a snail mail letter to all constituents who donate an item.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

Establish a standard for input and use only one person for input. The end product will be cleaner.

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

We like the table registration where guests can identify who they would like to be seated with and other guests can see the tables already registered.  Receipt and acknowledgment is much cleaner and faster and puts the tax receipt responsibility in the hands of the constituent instead of us.

  ### 36. OneCause is a life saver!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2020

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

The mobile bidding platform provided by OneCause allows people to participate in the auction from anywhere. The overbid text alerts and the automatic bid features are extremely helpful for our supporters. The ability to send text to our attendees and supporters is an effective method of communication. Check-out is easier with OneCause, and it is nice to have almost all payments completed electronically. They provide excellent customer support, and I like that they give you the option to use their equipment and have one or two OneCause support staff onsite during the event.

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

The method they use for styling when embedding pictures and videos into descriptions with html is outdated and difficult to use. Also, I wish there was a way to run a report that will give you proceeds by table for a specific donation package, like a dessert auction. Other than that, I don't have any complaints.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

I wouldn't do an auction without it!

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

Check-out was a nightmare when we used paper bid sheets. OneCause solved that for us. OneCause also provides extensive reports that are extremely helpful when analyzing the success of the event. Payment is much easier on the supporter side and the admin side. Being able to bid remotely has significantly increased our revenue.

  ### 37. Virtual Fundraising Success

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2020

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

The software was intuitive, easy to understand and navigate.

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

The virtual fundraising platform is very new, but with so many features being rolled out daily I think any dislikes are being addressed.

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

OneCause helped us to utilize the right platform in a time when face to face asks are not safe or feasible. I am certain we raised more thanks to the systems in place by this software.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> So glad to hear we're able to tackle everything for your virtual fundraising - and RAISE MORE for your cause! 

  ### 38. OneCause is very user friendly!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lise F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2020

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

I love that all the data input creates many reports and useful mail merge features.

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

There could be some improvement to the photo features.  The mobile version was difficult to view.

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

Start early to give yourself plenty of time to watch tutorials and set up the software and your event.

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

We will continue to use OneCause for our online store.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> Thank you for this helpful review and input, Lise! We appreciate your time and are thrilled to be a part of your fundraising journey! #FearlessFundraisers

  ### 39. User friendly!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jessica Y. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 14, 2020

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

This platform is easy for both the creator and user. As the organization, it is easy to create event pages and our attendees have told us how easy it is for them to use and navigate.

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

N/A. We are very happy with OneCause and highly recommend.

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

OneCause allows us to have one site where we can have event information, silent auction and event registration. This is much easier than using multiple platforms to handle all needs.

  ### 40. Simple and Efficient

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nina F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2020

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

OneCause provides a simple one-stop-shop for the fundraising event.

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

A bit confusing accessing the tutorials vs. discussions on "How to"

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

Raising Money without being in person.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> Glad to be your one-stop-shop for virtual fundraising, Nina. We look forward to continuing to help support your cause!

  ### 41. Easy to navigate

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2020

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

The platform is easy to navigate and personalize per your event. Support is awesome, there are many ways to gain knowledge with webinars and community support pages.

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

Would be nice to be able to personalize the links or URL's for additional pages.

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

We use OneCause for our annual event and silent auction. This year with the move to a virtual event OC was the first page our guests saw, it was nice to be able to offer so much information in one place.

  ### 42. Fantastic Pro event experience!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicole H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2020

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

We had a fantastic event on 12/28, and it upgrading to a Professional event was the best decision we could've made! First off, we upgraded about a week before the event, and the fact that someone was available to work our event was a small miracle, given that it was right between Christmas and NYE. Second, I was actually able to somewhat enjoy the event, myself, rather than being 100% wrapped up in the business aspect of it this year, which was amazing. My favorite part of using OneCause was having the donation appeal (or as I like to call it, the telethon) up on the screen, watching the number tick up.

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

We had a good number of older attendees who were confused by the lack of bid sheets at our auction table, or who didn't understand that they could've used the platform but then settled the bill with cash or check if they didn't want to use a card. This is not a OneCause issue, so much as a messaging issue, so it's a lesson learned for us.

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

One major issue that we had at our event in 2018 was a huge bottleneck at registration; that was completely solved by using OneCause! We got a lot of positive feedback about that from our attendees! :)

  ### 43. Excellent Customer Support & Staff

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Terri L. | Donor Relations Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2020

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

Customer service is superb and if you have any event staff joining you from OneCause, prepare for them to knock it out of the park. They are a HUGE help with any issues and took care of so many things that I was expecting to have to do by myself. Highly recommend for any organization with a small staff but large fundraising events

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

I wish that the Giving Center was more customizable - I'd love to be able to add buttons to custom pages, change the wording/appearance of the ticketing interface, and be able to link the mobile interface to go to the Welcome page, etc. It would allow me to use the software a lot more for other fundraising campaigns,etc - not just events.

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

We have increased our profits and are easily collecting more constituent information then ever before. We also have realized that our constituents prefer this software since it is becoming increasingly common across nonprofits - it will not only bring you into the 21st century, it will help your organization align with industry standards across the nation.

  ### 44. Wonderful customer service.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2020

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

Great platform, useful reports, user friendly, the best customer service.

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

It's not as customizable as I'd like it to be. There are other platforms that you can brand better.

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

I've only used it for one event, but it helped us streamline our golf outing during COVID.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> LOVE hearing we could help you streamline your golf outing during this Covid pandemic! It has been a stressful time for all, but we're happy we can still help support important missions. Thank you for your input, #FearlessFundraiser!

  ### 45. Great online auction platform!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2020

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

I like the way that the online auction platform looks and interacts with donors. Fairly customizable without being overly complicated.

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

Sometimes the backend system can be a little too clunky. There’s no good way to keep track of donors if you aren’t having people buy “tickets“

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

Fundraising auction. The online platform puts everything in one place for the auction.

**Official Response from Kellen Niespodziany:**

> Thanks for this helpful review, FearlessFundraiser. We appreciate your time and are thankful we can help support your cause!

Text to give campaigns, gala organization and it's a game changer for silent auctions which is why we originally signed up!

  ### 47. A Blessing in disguise!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tanya B. | Executive Recruiter, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2019

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

There were a number of things I liked most about Onecause........(1) It's a complete, comprehensive "one-stop shopping" platform to handle ALL your fundraising needs......from inception to implementation (and beyond); (2) the software provides such an outfit of components that meet your every need, and (3) the staff is beyond helpful. They go over and beyond to ensure your experience with Onecause is positive and that your event is a success.

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

There wasn't anything I (we) didn't like about Onecause; however, the only area I wish were different was in the auction setup. I was hoping to have the capability of including more than one photo for certain items (e.g. international vacation resorts, bed & breakfast locations, etc.). 

**Recommendations to others considering Bonterra OneCause:**

When reviewing Onecause for possible use, DO NOT be intimidated by its large platform of available services.  The online staff are great advocates of the program and are solely committed to your organization have a successful event. They truly will become your partners in this effort. It is definitely worth the investment and the time learning how to navigate the system. 

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

One of the problems Onecause helped us solve was data tracking for our fundraising needs.  The software provided such comprehensive data for literally EVERY area of our fundraiser.  We certainly would have had to create this on our own. This is a benefit to us because we can use this information, directly from the system, to report to our Board of Directors, Advisory Board and other stakeholders. This truly was a blessing.
