Has been helpful at building our Individual Fundraising framework

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bonterra EveryAction for our individual fundraising efforts. We receive donations through the Bonterra EveryAction donate form embedded on our website, along with sending out newsletters, targeted emails, event signups, and more with the automation feature. We also use Bonterra EveryAction to make repots so we can track lapsed donors, LYBNT donors, and more, for fundraising campaigns.

Pros

  • The moves management action plans have been very helpful while setting up our individual fundraising framework. Allowing us to track everything in one place
  • The reports are extremely helpful when dissecting different segments of our donor base, including HNWI, LYBNT, etc

Cons

  • The automation feature doesn't always send out emails automatically. Sometimes I have to pause the workflow and activate it again to get it to send, which is frustrating
  • While there are useful tutorials currently on the Bonterra EveryAction page I believe they could be updated and more could be posted to go over more functionality of Bonterra EveryAction

Return on Investment

  • Since using the MMAPs to help with our individual fundraising framework, we have seen an increase in donor-advised fund donations
  • We used to use a different software for newsletters but having the capacity to send newsletters in automations and through targeted email has it made much easier, since that, along with our donation records, etc, are all in once place now

I love this powerhouse one-stop software

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

EveryAction is one of the best digital platforms I have worked in. The system is as intuitive as it gets. I love how many different reportable fields each contribution contains. It makes pulling reports such a breeze! I have also used EveryAction to send our organization's annual tax acknowledgements via email and was pleased with the results.

Pros

  • Report Manager - running reports is super easy and the reports are very customizable
  • The system is very intuitive, I've easily found whatever I was looking for
  • You can customize most fields to meet the specific needs of your company

Cons

  • The bulk upload can be helpful, but needs some tweaks in order to not accidentally duplicate data
  • I wish the "tax letter" mail merge field in the email function allowed for more customization/formatting
  • I wish certain links would automatically open in another tab rather than always taking you within the same screen. I often lose my place

Return on Investment

  • Easier to reconcile/match the amounts from the donation software to our general ledger
  • Were able to cancel some of our other systems due to EA functionality

Other Software Used

EveryAction! EveryTime! EveryDay!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I manage our members donations, contact information, run reports, print out donation acknowledgements. Using EA saves time with generating the thank you letters, makes managing incoming donations seamless and keeping track of donors contributions, any changes to their donation status, etc. It's also a great way of being able to follow up with members, making notes of any changes and provides space where I can note 1-1 conversations I've had, so that the next time I speak with a donor I can continue where I left off. This really personalizes my interactions with our donors.

Pros

  • End user experience is quite transparent - other db's are WAY more cluncky and not designed specifically for my work in the non-profit realm.
  • Running reports are seamless
  • Layout of workspace is clean and efficient
  • FAQs well organized and easy to follow

Cons

  • Relationship between primary record and attributed contributions is messy when trying to figure out if thank you letter has been generated. Attributed record should, when activated, supercede primary record.
  • SmartSearch isn't always as smart as it claims to be

Return on Investment

  • Saved me dozens of hours by having a really GREAT acknowledgement letter generator
