Aaron W
Development Director
5.0

Speaker 1: My name is Aaron. I'm the development director at an organization called Sisu Youth Services. We are a relatively small nonprofit that serves young people experiencing homelessness in Oklahoma City, and I give Bonterra five out of five stars. Before we used Bonterra, we used a combination of spreadsheets and an online fundraising tool called Network for Good. We chose Bonterra because it has a huge suite of tools that were better able to serve our growing organization, and we liked that it was one tool that had everything that we needed from online fundraising to a really powerful CRM, to grants management and moves management for my major donors. Bonterra requires some focus set up, but it was easy and I had support from their staff as well as tons of resources in their resource library and help center that made set up and getting started really easy. For someone else considering Bonterra, I would ask yourself, do you need a single solution that has really powerful data tools? Then I think Bonterra is right for you. If you're an organization that is growing into the grants management space or into major giving, and you need something a little bit more grown up than your organization has been using, then I think Bonterra is for you, and those are my recommendations.
