What is Bonterra Jumpstart?
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.
