A Better Alternative to Bonterra
Bonterra handles case management — but ignores your donors, grants, and finances. Kindora is the better choice: case management, donor CRM, grant tracking, and accounting in one affordable platform.
Why Kindora Wins
Bonterra does cases. Kindora does everything.
If your nonprofit also fundraises, manages grants, or needs accounting — you've outgrown Bonterra.
Case Management + Donor CRM

Grant Tracking Built In
Track grants from prospect to award to compliance — directly connected to your case management data.
Nonprofit Accounting
Built-in accounting with cost allocation, fund accounting, and board-ready financial reports. No QuickBooks needed.
One Platform, One Price
Stop paying for Bonterra plus a donor CRM, grant tracker, and accounting tool. Kindora replaces them all.
