Bonterra Development + Digital

Formerly EveryAction

We are a grassroots nonprofit social justice organization and we utilize Bonterra for email/newsletters, donor tracking, and financial reporting. Bonterra solves the problem of seeing actions taken by community members while also seeing giving history, how frequently they give, and the last time they gave. The scope of our use case is growing to target those who take action but don't give and those who give but don't take action.

We use EveryAction to track donor, partner, and stakeholder information for our nonprofit. In addition to gifts, we track relationships, interactions (calls, emails, direct mail, personal mail, etc.) We run reports to track the effectiveness of our fundraising efforts, number of interactions, and grants and grant reporting. As a nonprofit in difficult times, EveryAction helps keep the team and our plans on track.

I use EveryAction to send a monthly newsletter to our constituents, put together petitions, appeals, and mass emails, and track engagement. We have a large constituent database with around 150,000 active users. EveryAction allows us to effectively track and manage engagement, and quickly pull together emails as necessary. The template features are wonderful and allow us to put together email blasts in a very quick manner. We are also able to customize our branding and copy it onto each of our templates.

I use EveryAction for voter outreach, to recruit volunteers, to schedule events, and one on one meetings. I also use it to phonebank, and go door to door canvassing. I use EveryAction to make quality control calls, commit data, find out my canvass results, and keep an eye on my door knocks live while my canvassers are out in the field. I would not be able to manage a team of 100 -150 people without EveryAction. EveryAction makes doing my job a little bit easier, and it definitely keeps me organized. EveryAction is the best!!!

I use EveryAction as a fundraising management database. In it, I look up donor records, give history, update contribution information, create campaigns, create source codes, and direct response plans - just to name a few! I also use it to create acknowledgements for donors and track communications sent to donors.

We send broadcast emails and action alerts. EveryAction facilitates communications with our member database and networks via broadcast email and allows them to easily communicate their personalized advocacy messages to the public and corporate officials through the use of targeted online action pages.

EveryAction is our philanthropy software for our daughter database.

EveryAction is used as our donor/donation database at Habitat Omaha. We track Events, Donors, Tax Information, and more. Reporting is a main component of our use with EveryAction, and the scheduled reports help us maximize our time and helps data analysis move along faster.

We use Every Action to track voter data, to create RSVP links for upcoming community events and trainings, to understand data on our communities (such as through pulling lists of demographic data or other indicators). I also use EveryAction to create and send out newsletters to our communities, alumni program, etc.

We use Every Action to track donor information, what programs they have donated to, and their interactions with us over time. We also use Every Action to tag individuals with identification codes to understand their interests in our organization. We also use Every Action to send out thank you letters and create mail merges, letters, and labels.

We use EveryAction to coordinate our grassroots advocacy in state and federal campaigns. EveryAction makes it easy to manage our database of volunteers, send emails and keep volunteer engaged. We are able to create events, collect registrations and donations. EveryAction is a great platform for our campaign work and it's easy to learn.

We use it as our CRM and membership database, as well as to deploy digital actions and email platforms.

We use EA to track donors and prospective donors as well as large grants given. We also use it to track our organizing efforts and actionable items that staff does with support/hourly staff.

I use EveryAction to keep record of our community members. We help Black people that are unemployed and underemployed.

We use EveryAction to generate email communications to large audiences with updates on action-taking opportunities and campaigns.

EveryAction is the software we use to manage our donor database. We use this to track all our members and their engagement with the organization.

We use it to track all contacts who reach out to us and specifically to keep track of our partners. Every time we are connected to a new person or organization we enter them with as much detail as possible.

I use EveryAction to process donations received by Martha's Table and to create acknowledgment letters for donors. EveryAction makes it easy to create check batches, as well as to track individual donations. In addition, creating the same types of acknowledgment letters has made doing that aspect of the job very easy. It even provides the option to use the Excel download for reports if deemed necessary.

Most of the organizations in which I've used EveryAction - or which I've supported with EveryAction setup & use - try to make it the solution for all of their online organizing needs. There are very few mobilizing functionalities it doesn't claim to offer (most notably, peer-to-peer texting). That can be really convenient for organizations that are trying to do outreach on a lot of different levels, and recognize the need to have all that data live together in one place. But I've also noticed that the scale of what EveryAction offers can make it overwhelming for less technical staff, and especially volunteers. I have found it suits organizations best that absolutely need bulk email, digital fundraising, phone banking, event management, broadcast texting, online advocacy, action tracking, reporting, and a bunch more functionality all in the same tool because they have no other options.

We use EveryAction to manage a 90,000 member database (CRM), including tracking donations, campaign participation, member interests, contact information, and email program. We have both staff and volunteers managing the database.

EveryAction was the most comprehensive solution we could fine to automate interactions and followups and maintain a close relationship with our supporters. The platform is, honestly, incredible with just about anything you could think of. The problem is not the platform, in my opinion it's the company who owns it, Bonterra. They present themselves as a company that supports those who 'do good', along with slogans that ring the SJW bell. The company owns CyberGrants, EveryAction, Network for Good, and Social Solutions. We setup our account and the sales rep offered free on-boarding, training, and so we began configuring it for our org. We waited for the on-boarding team to reach out, but no one did. I finally reached out after the 2nd month to be informed that they were so backed up the training would not begin for several months and to read their docs! We moved forward, setup the system as needed and began learning all the nuances of it.. it's quite complex. Then, we received a bill... during our 'free' 90 days on-boarding. They refunded it but at this point, we did not see the support needed to continue and cancelled based on their breach of agreement by charging us w/o auth. Their legal department sent a cancellation doc for us to sign which legally barred us from writing reviews, etc!! We declined and asked them to edit the agreement, which they would not. We did NOT sign it and they would not provide any further confirmation the account was cancelled other than an email. Is that really supporting those that do go, or just chasing the buck and trying to gag those that have negative experiences!?

The Children's Agenda uses EveryAction to: Manage and send e-newsletters and other mass email communications Send action alerts to supporters to send letters and sign petitions to elected officials Track donors and donation

I use EveryAction for targeted emails to different audiences, making one-click emails to companies or politicians, making sign-on petitions or letters, etc.

I use NGP, VAN, and VoteBuilder to work on candidate campaigns.

I use EveryAction with several clients to set up fundraising and advocacy emails, to monitor donations over time, in conjunction with lead-generation, donor acquisition, and donor retargeting ad campaigns, and other tasks. I also use VAN for electoral and membership management purposes with a client, including events and integrations with other platforms like Hustle, Mobilize, Mobile Commons, and Impactive. In addition, I support other users with finding the features they need.<br>
