Bonterra’s Jumpstart program is a tech-enabled capacity building program that allows funders to strengthen nonprofit resilience and accelerate their community impact. It’s great for foundations that want to support nonprofits becoming more financially sustainable, addressing the growing digital and AI-divide through ethically developed solutions, and providing 1:1 expert support. The yearlong program provides nonprofits with AI-powered fundraising software, one-on-one human fundraising coaching, and group-based learning opportunities helping them build confidence, raise more money, save time, and build long-term sustainability. Plus, nonprofits learn more about the current funding landscape and where the best opportunities for support exist for them. ### Who do we work with? We partner with foundations and grantmakers who are committed to building more equitable communities by supporting the capacity building needs and financial resilience of nonprofits. ### Who is each Jumpstart program track for? The Activate track 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 new technology. This can also be a good fit for organizations that are happy with their current fundraising software and would still benefit from coaching, best practices, and peer-based learning. The Accelerate track is for more mature organizations who have a basic fundraising operation that they want to expand. They are looking to adopt all-in-one fundraising software to take their revenue from individual giving to the next level. ### What is the process for identifying and selecting nonprofits to participate in Jumpstart? Once a funder is ready to invest in the program, they identify how many nonprofits they would like to include in their cohort, typically with a minimum of ten. The Jumpstart team then helps identify nonprofits to participate based on the funder’s nonprofit partners and their community’s needs. We also help you host information sessions with nonprofits, sharing what Jumpstart is, and allowing nonprofits to request involvement. ### What are fundraising coaches and how do grantees match with them? At the start of the program, nonprofits select from a pool of experienced coaches — with an average of 20 years of experience in fundraising and nonprofit leadership, as well as training/coaching. By tapping into this collective knowledge, Jumpstart meets organizations where they are and partners with them to strengthen and transform their development initiatives.
