Case Study: Kids at Risk Action Group achieves increased online donations and streamlined fundraising with Bonterra Network for Good

Kids at Risk Action Group - Customer Case Study

Kids at Risk Action Group (KARA), founded by Mike Tikkanen after more than a decade as a court-appointed special advocate, is a small nonprofit focused on improving treatment for abused and neglected children. With a lean board and limited staff, KARA needed a way to raise funds, build credibility, and connect with supporters while keeping operations simple and cost-effective.

KARA integrated Network for Good’s DonateNow platform—recommended by their web designer—which offered easy site integration, recurring- and memorial-donation options, and no need for a separate merchant account. The result: nearly $1,000 in online gifts within two months, several unexpected donations, streamlined banking and bookkeeping, and increased legitimacy and donor trust for the growing organization.
