At Bonterra, belief in our customers and their work is what drives us. This means going above and beyond for our fundraising partners to make sure they feel supported and are set up for success.
Through every step of your nonprofit organization’s journey with Bonterra Donor Engagement’s Giving Days solution (formerly GiveGab), our team is here to support you. We take a non-traditional approach to customer service to give you the best support. In fact, at Bonterra we don’t even call it customer service—we call it customer success.
What is customer success?
To the Giving Days team, customer success means having dedicated, responsive, and knowledgeable team members engaging in an open and welcoming dialogue with everyone using our platform to support them in their fundraising endeavors.
Our most popular channel of communication is our chat function. You can use the chat function to access an automated help center and educational database, providing unparalleled support to anyone fundraising or donating through the Giving Days platform. Made possible through our exclusive integration with Intercom, Giving Days is powered by our passionate team of customer success champions. Get help from real people who will stick with you to answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and offer best practices.
While our success team is available to provide direct responses to your questions during normal business hours—Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM EST—you can utilize the chat 24/7 to find answers through our automated educational database.
The people behind the Giving Days customer success team
We have a relatively small but attentive team who provides highly personalized and collaborative support. When you use the Bonterra Giving Days platform, you become our partner, and that’s exactly how you will be treated by our customer success team.
Every member of our customer success team takes pride in their work and loves what they do. Hear directly from one of our team members to find out why:
“Working in the Giving Days chat allows me to connect directly with nonprofit admins, fundraisers, and donors. We work together to troubleshoot problems, and I’m constantly able to collect feedback to help make our platform a better place for all its users. Connecting through chat allows me to see the difference our company is making in real-time!” – Noelle, customer success manager
