Why Bonterra Jumpstart?

Jumpstart has been AMAZING. My coach Lucas has helped me out soooo much. We have the first complete development plan in our history, and a real strategy to execute it. We had the best fundraising year we’ve ever had last year and raised $250,000 more than we expected.

“Working with Jumpstart helped us lean into being partners with our nonprofits, not just a funder. I think it showed us where we’re going as a foundation and how we want to walk alongside our nonprofits and support them with capacity-building as we move forward.”

Vice President of Community Investment, Central Carolina Community Foundation

FAQs about Jumpstart

Bonterra’s Jumpstart program is a tech-enabled capacity–building program that allows funders to strengthen nonprofit resilience and accelerate their community impact. The yearlong program provides nonprofits with fundraising software, one-on-one fundraising coaching, and group-based learning opportunities helping them raise more money, save time, and build long-term sustainability.

The Activate model is for emerging nonprofits who are not established enough to need the full suite of fundraising and engagement software. These nonprofits do not have the time or resources to onboard to new technology, or they are happy with their current fundraising software and would still benefit from coaching and peer-based learning.

The Accelerate model is for more mature organizations who have a somewhat established fundraising operation. They are looking to adopt all-in-one fundraising software to take their revenue from individual giving to the next level.
