Bonterra Guided Fundraising

Formerly Network for Good

The Guided Fundraising software allows us to communicate directly with all donors and major stakeholders in our organization in an efficient and professional manner. We are able to provide updates on current programs and share good news on a regular basis with the easy to use email and direct mail functions in the software. In addition, the financial reports provided help us keep track of the effectiveness of our communications!

We use Network for Good the donate location on our web page and to track all those donations. Then after the donations it will generate a thank you letter for the donation. So, we know where all of our donations come from for tax purposes. We also us Network for Good as a communication tool for all of donors and sponsors. We use the email communication to keep up our base to date of all of our fundraising events. We, also use the email communication for a quarterly newsletter that we send out to everyone. The other thing we use it for is our direct mail thank you letters for all our sponsors and organizations that sponsor or donate items to our fundraising events. We also use the giving page to create fundraising campaigns during the year. It has made it so easy to keep track of all of our donors and followers. We have the database in one place, and we can send out mass emails and direct emails instantly and keeping track of all of our donations for tax purposes. A great time saver!!!!

I utilize Network For Good as our Donor Data Base. Here, I record all donations and generate acknowledgments. I can easily create themed acknowledgments for all kinds of donation scenarios including, every day giving donors, recurring donors, event donors, direct mail donors, and ticket purchasers. I utilize the campaign/designation categories so that I know where every donation is from and going. This makes for easy sorts to pull up information for analytics. I use communications to create monthly e-blasts and special email reminders. I also create forms for individuals to sign up for groups, training, events, and volunteering.

We use it increasingly now for donor appeals, event planning/management/evaluations; strategic automated communications; building support networks; event and Campaign websites. Year-end report data generation, categorizing donors, etc. The program provides systems necessary for easily accessible back office support. We experienced a learning curve initially, however the readily available tutorials, and customer support services have made it possible to move beyond that initial roadblock.

After years of trying to force-fit donor management into an application primarily designed for document management, we came across Network For Good and were impressed by the breadth of functionality it offered: database management, communication, campaign management and tracking, and event management (including ticketing and auctions).

We use Network for Good to explore different ideas for our Fundraising and also to help consolidate and organize all of our donors. I also love the access to sending thank you letters and texts, and emails to our donors. This program has helped me with different ideas for areas of fundraising. Also, Network for Good has made it more accessible for our current donors and future donors to donate. I live in a small community and have been given ideas on how to expand our organization. Network for Good has addressed my concerns and helped to give answers to them. I am absolutely thrilled to be working with Network for Good!

Network for good has been our campaign and network donor portal for several years. They help us with donor retention and reporting. They are a great help in conjunction with our direct mail distributor as they create a donor landing page to lead potential donors in the right direction to help our clients with monetary donations. We are currently using their older Donate now page as we have been grandfathered

We have used Network for Good in the past for networking with our donors and to give information to those who search on Network for Good about the services that we provide. It helps us get the word out to other agencies, foundations, donors, potential clients, etc.

Network for Good is being used by all Team members at our organization to streamline the acquisition of donor information and interpretation of donor data. It addresses many business problems as they pertain to gift collection, reconciliation, interpretation of data, communication with our donor base, and many other areas.

We used Neon when I first joined CFO; getting reports out of it wasn't easy and using the chat was the only way to communicate with Neon's customer service. That proved frustrating when we needed our information right away.
Last summer we searched for a new CRM and after checking a few companies out, we chose Network For Good. We are truly happy with our decision to go with Network For Good! Running reports, updating and adding donor information is simple and user friendly, and when we do need to contact customer service, they answer our call immediately and are available for us.

Moreover, we're able to send our donor e-blasts using Network For Good, which enabled us to cancel our Constant Contact subscription and transfer that money to our programming. I am a huge fan of Network For Good's customer service gurus, particularly Francesca, who always welcomes me and is a true delight to interact with. Thank goodness for Network For Good!

We use Network for Good for all of our fundraising events by setting up campaigns and we are able to accept individual donations through the program.

We are a small non-profit, we use Network For Good for our fundraising and for our programs. We are able to send out consistent detailed information, collect payment online and track individuals that have signed up for an event. We are ablr to track and communicate with all of our donors. The program is very easy to use.

We use Network for Good to manage our donors and raise funds for our non-profit organization. It allows us to see who donates, when, how much, etc., and to which campaign at the click of a button. It also supports us with tools for fundraising, like email blasts, videos, newsletters, etc.
