Review for Bonterra (previously Network for Good)
We create our event pages, utilize the email blasts, add and manage all our donors, and create reports. It is straightforward to make our emails and event pages.
Some of the problems we have encountered:
Some have to do with reporting; it is confusing. You can't create a tax letter with all the donations of the year in a simple way. Whenever you have to delete a ticket holder and make a donor, it creates a lot of confusion and problems. The font size and format are not very user-friendly whenever we create a page.
- General creation of event pages
- General creation of blast emails
- Adding and editing donors
- Reporting
- Event page - fonts and fields
- Groups and filters
Less suited for more prominent non-profits.
- Year End Closing guidelines
- Event Fundraising options and guidelines
- Reports on every aspect of your data
- Easy to use email blasts
- Faster response for questions
- On line raffle function
- A cheaper auction function for small nonprofits
For small nonprofits, the cost is prohibited. The function is great but any nonprofit with less than $75-100K cannot afford this system
We want to grow and succeed with tech
- I can talk to my current donors monthly, or weekly. The software makes it possible.
- I can upload pictures that tell the stories
- I can ask techs questions and they reponse
- I would like to send emails to lapse donors, and the present system slows me down
Easy to Use Customer Management System
- Easy to customize email/newsletter formats
- Financial donor data is helpful
- The ability to send a thank you to a donor directly from the "giving" acknowledgment is fantastic.
- It would be nice to receive the donations in the same month that they are made. At the present time, you have to wait until the 15th of the following month.
- The peer to peer fundraising options are a little clunky
- Using Donate Now function to receive disbursement information is clunky
Rebuilding post-pandemic with help from Network for Good
- Customer/donor management
- Training is too drawn out
- More information on the details of transferring existing contact information
- Customer service is slow and poorly done.
Bonterra has improved our fundraising efforts 1000%
- It helps to manage all donors
- We are able to acknowledge all donors
- We are able to keep track of all money being raised
- Be more communicative to users outside of just letting us know about donations recieved

Network for Good Recommendation
- Keeping track of donors
- Sending thank you's to donors
- Sending e-blasts and newsletters
- Donor supplemental info, which is an add-on to Network for Good, is not especially robust or helpful
With Network for Good, you can track group communication & see the statistics, for example, of emails delivered, opened or deleted. You can resend an email to only those who didn’t open it the first time.
It makes it much easier to communicate with our donors with options to text, email, text a video, find an address for a letter. It’s all in one place. Mahalo NUI to Network for Good & our Coach John Gilchrist!
- Fundraising coaching
- Options to communicate w/donors
- Tracking giving & communication for individual donors
- Connecting household members
We didn’t need a huge system, but something that could track over a thousand donors/volunteers with room for more & also is user-friendly.
It would have been amazing to have this product from day one of our organization!
No Need to Invent the Wheel!
- Campaign totals
- Tracks donors
- Reporting
- Communication with donors
- I know there are areas in Network for Good we don't use at our Non-profit and there may be areas that can improve, but the resources we utilize are easy enough to follow.
Network for Good puts the "Fun" in "Fundraising"
- Capable of setting up e-mail groups to send information pertinent to the group
- The customer support has been fantastic from setting up the system to coming up with strategies to maximize fund-raising
- The system is user-friendly and easy to learn
- The challenge was setting up donor information in a format that was compatible with the Network for Good system
If an organization has targeted fund-raising activities, you cannot use the basic level of the system. When Paladin started with Network for Good, we were not aware of this. When we set up the system for the annual golf outing, that is when we learned we had to pay an additional amount for targetted events.
Everything you need in one place - Network For Good!
- NFG eliminates the need for other systems to handle monthly emails or newsletters.
- Designations feature works perfectly for our needs.
- Donors' ability to create passwords and log in to manage their credit card information or review donations is appreciated.
- Monthly donations are supported.
- User-friendly forms and the ability to include videos.
- Excellent communication and support.
- For the default footer in acknowledgments, the phone number is not included and we are unable to add the phone number.
- In My Tasks, the order of tasks changes every time I delete a task. It would be helpful if they stayed in the order I entered them so I could find the task I am looking for easier.
- When I view a sent email, there is an option to resend it, BUT I cannot edit the email before I resend.
- It is great to be able to schedule email blasts to a group of people. But I would like to be able to send an acknowledgment to a first time donor and then schedule a "new donor welcome email" to go out to this individual donor at a later date.

Great comprehensive event planning site - bringing a suite of online support services and pre/post event follow-ups. We used it most recently for out annual program gala and age now in the process of using it to weave the gala seamlessly into our ongoing project and program avyibotird.
