I've had an overall great experience with Network For Good. My coach makes sure that I know how to use the software to accomplish our fundraising goals.

Pros

The software is feature packed and there is great customer support. An individual coach makes the experience operating the software within the framework of your fundraising efforts is the icing on the cake.

Cons

There are a lot of moving pieces, so you have to stay abreast of the software.

Their training staff is exceptional, and we've really enjoyed this system over our previous one. We highly recommend Bonterra!

Pros

NFG was brought to our non-profit organization through a Jumpstart program and we compared it against the Salsa system we were using. Bonterra is much easier to use and reports are infinite - We love it!

Cons

We were gifted reduced pricing for the software the first 1-2 years, so the retail price is a bit harder for our non-profit but the benefits are much greater and we'll continue to use it

Our small non-profit organization has grown, and become more efficient and effective because of Bonterra. I am a grateful user!

Pros

It is very easy to use. Using Bonterra transformed our lists of names on paper into a tool that allows us to track gifts and other information from our donors easily. Sending news via email blast is a snap. I was afraid of all the work that using Bonterra would entail, but it wasn't hard. And now we have tools to manage our interactions with donors, consumers, and anyone who has shown an interest in our organization.

Cons

initially, data entering was cumbersome, but we received help with that, too.

Good value

Reviewed on 2024/02/15

Pros

I came to this product when the online giving fee of our previous provider went through the roof. I was pleasantly surprised at how intuitive and friendly the contact management and donor management functions are. Now, I am using it for event management, which is a bonus.

Cons

Often, when an online donation is made, it generates a new contact, even if the person is already in the system. Yes, this can be cleaned up quickly by combining contacts. But I'd like the system to recognize each individual. And, of course, my gripe with all these systems is it doesn't handle household giving well. How do you count a gift from a married couple? It has to go against only one of their records.

Response from Bonterra

Hi Michael, thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We appreciate you highlighting the intuitive contact management and helpful event features. Your input on improving duplicate detection and household giving is incredibly valuable as we constantly refine our system. We aim to deliver great experiences, and customers like you make that possible. Thanks for being part of our community!
