Our purpose
We propel every doer of good to their peak impact.
The Bonterra vision: 3% by ‘33
At Bonterra, we stand “for the greatest good.” It’s more than our tagline: it’s our commitment to how we innovate, how we operate, and the impact you can expect as a customer or partner.
Bonterra was founded in 2021, inspired by Sir Ronald Cohen’s world-changing approach to business. As the father of social investing and a key visionary in our creation, Sir Cohen believes that companies can do even better by “doing good” — actively creating a positive impact on the world. It’s worked: in just a few years, we’ve become the second-largest social good software company in the world.
Our vision is to increase giving from 2% of US GDP to 3% by 2033 — a number that hasn’t changed significantly in the last 50 years. It’s an incredibly ambitious goal, and we’re committed to meeting it by using our technology, innovation, and leadership to increase trust in the entire social good ecosystem.
That means inspiring every able American to give or volunteer, not just the wealthiest. It means enabling everyone to use their voices to amplify the causes they believe in. It means increasing the outcome of every dollar and getting more from every volunteer hour.
Our vision doesn’t stop there, and neither does our technology. Corporations can give more, grant more, and match more — with the same rigorous measurement and accountability they use to run their businesses. Foundations will know where to channel their money, and when, to achieve the greatest impact against their missions.
In the words of Sir Ronald Cohen: “As (we) show that (we) can deliver a desirable combination of impact and financial return . . . impact investment will become more than a moral choice. It will become a smart business decision. In short, doing good can be excellent business.”
The world's leading social good technologies are now Bonterra
"We are on a mission to create a world where the number of individual donors is on the rise, not the decline. Where nonprofits are judged on their true impact, not their percentage of overhead. Where participation is increasing, exponentially and globally. Our tech can help do all of this, and we have a plan for it."
