In this article, I’ll share five reasons why nonprofits make the switch from Network for Good to Donorbox. I’ll also share real-life reviews to help you make the most informed decision.
Bonterra’s Network for Good – also called Guided Fundraising – provides useful online fundraising tools, like peer-to-peer fundraising and auction features.
However, Network for Good lacks crucial in-person fundraising software and crowdfunding functionality to amplify your fundraising.
Some users also note that the platform’s event ticketing feature has certain limitations, like not being able to check in guests via QR code.
…I wish that they had an option that would send ticket purchasers QR Codes that they could present to the check in table at the time of check in.” – Joshua M.
Donorbox gives you access to a world-class suite of features that empower you to raise more. From customizable donation forms to a robust event ticketing tool and in-person fundraising software, our features help you bring in more for your cause.

Some users have expressed frustration over the quality of customer support since Bonterra acquired Network for Good.
I strongly warn any nonprofit considering Bonterra/NFG to carefully evaluate other platforms before making a decision. Our experience has been a sad lesson of lost trust, poor communication, and inadequate customer support.” – Diane

More than 100,000 organizations in over 96 countries have raised a collective $3 billion and counting with Donorbox’s powerful fundraising features.

Network for Good does not publicly disclose its pricing structure. However, some users have alluded to it being too expensive for smaller nonprofits.
One of our biggest cons is the price tag. We are a small nonprofit and every penny spent needs to be for a good reason…” – Misty M.
…price too high, better platforms for price.” – Verified User
