For too long, the people behind the scenes of social good have used cumbersome paper and spreadsheets or outdated technology created for sales teams to report on outcomes for their organizations—methods and tools that reduce the amount of time they could spend doing good, fail to uncover valuable insights and details around outcomes of their good work, and even lead to disengagement and turnover.

At Bonterra, we’re changing that.

We work with nonprofit organizations, public agencies, corporations, philanthropic organizations, and foundations to help connect with donors and volunteers, distribute grants and funds, drive fundraising and grant acquisition, manage casework, and measure outcomes and impact.

Today, Bonterra’s technology enables over 15,000 nonprofit organizations do more good and powers more than 50% of the Fortune 100’s philanthropic giving efforts.

We exclusively cater to the unique needs of social good organizations with intuitive technology, powerful analytics, and easy‑to‑use reporting.

Quite simply: We power those who power social impact.
