Give Lively vs. Bonterra Jumpstart

We are a technology firm redefining the landscape of digital fundraising for nonprofit organizations, offering solutions that are impactful, user-friendly, and at no cost. Nonprofits play a vital role in enhancing society by tackling significant issues such as gender and racial equality, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ advocacy, social justice, education, domestic abuse, and services for immigrants, among others. However, these organizations often encounter internal obstacles; fundraising technology can be prohibitively expensive, and standing out to potential donors in a saturated digital environment presents its own set of challenges, even with the surge in online contributions. To address this, we created an easy-to-use, no-cost fundraising platform tailored to meet the unique needs of nonprofits, relieving them of the burdens associated with profit-driven fundraising software. By offering our technology for free, we enable these organizations to allocate more financial resources toward their core missions. We hold the belief that nonprofits should not have to compromise their resources in order to fulfill their objectives. Our robust and efficient fundraising tools are accessible at no charge to nonprofits, while also being simple for donors to navigate. Organizations utilizing Give Lively have successfully raised over $400 million for their essential initiatives, resulting in savings exceeding $25 million in technology fees. We are committed to sharing the love with nonprofits indefinitely, ensuring they can focus on what truly matters—making a difference in the world.

Bonterra Jumpstart is an all-encompassing, yearlong initiative designed to utilize technology in order to strengthen the abilities of funders as they assist nonprofit organizations through tailored coaching, cutting-edge fundraising resources, and collaborative learning opportunities. By adopting a cohort approach, the participating nonprofits gain vital knowledge, tools, and support to navigate financial challenges, enhance their fundraising efforts, and secure long-term financial stability. Each organization in the program receives fifteen hours of personalized coaching from a fundraising expert, which focuses on identifying unique needs, discovering potential opportunities, refining their strategies, and developing actionable plans for growth. The program features twelve virtual workshops that bring cohort members together for expert-led sessions that promote peer learning and exchange of ideas throughout the program's duration. Depending on their selected track, nonprofits can access either basic fundraising tools or the full Network for Good suite, which includes features like donor management, donation pages, volunteer coordination, as well as tools for email campaigns, mobile communication, and event and auction management. Ultimately, this initiative equips nonprofits to not only succeed in their fundraising endeavors but also to build a resilient future that supports their missions effectively. In doing so, Bonterra Jumpstart fosters a community of shared knowledge and collaboration, ensuring that each organization can thrive in a challenging financial landscape.
