During our initial ramp up, there were some issues and limitations that we surfaced, but the DonorDock team was very prompt and supportive in helpful resolve things. Very pleased with our interactions. Pros DonorDock provides an easy-to-use product that nicely meets the needs of our small non-profit. We have just over 2,000 contacts in our database, some with email addresses and some only with U.S. mail contact info. We manage donations, email newsletters, etc. The integration with Stripe has worked seamlessly. We like the fact that this is an active project with improvements and new features continuing to be added. We also have had very good luck with their Support. Prompt and helpful. The reporting features also provide a lot of flexibility and work well. Cons The features for creating various communications, whether email or .pdf, can be fairly limited and simplistic. Better than some, but certainly that's not a core strength of DonorDock. And there seem to be some database fields that we don't have access to or are not visible in a data dump. But in general, these are rather minor things that don't overshadow the many positives. Reason for choosing DonorDock Better features, better UX, met our requirements, ease of use, active development.

It's also the cheapest. The team is super friendly too, so anytime we have questions, you're taken care of immediately. Pros Everything is very intuitive to figure out, so I don't have to spend any time training how to do something new. It's simple, easy, and includes a newsletter option so I could get rid of that additional expense. Cons Honestly, nothing. They are the greatest to work with so if you ever come across a functionality you wish it had, you simply need to let them know and they make it happen.

" August 10, 2021 3.0 NA Pros I haven't had much time to use it. I like that it can help me organize my contacts. Cons It is always difficult to start using new software and make it regular. Reason for choosing DonorDock cheaper and local Review Source Response from Donordock August 20, 2021 Hi Sky, thanks for your review of DonorDock. We're glad that DonorDock has helped you organize your contacts. You mentioned that you're just getting started with DonorDock - We would love to share some resources for helping with that. Feel free to attend one of our regularly scheduled live trainings, watch an on demand video training course, visit our knowledge base, or chat with the support team. While starting to use a new software usually involves some learning, we hope these resources will make that learning as easy as possible, and we hope one of these options will help you as you learn! Thanks for your review! JK John K. Operations Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A breath of fresh air" March 1, 2023 5.0 Overall the experience with DonorDock has been great. This mostly comes from the fact that they have the best service out there. Anytime we need to figure something out, they are there. Pros DonorDock really is different from all our donor CRM tools. Not only is their interface very intuitive and doesn't need excess training, but they are consistently making great improvements (using feedback from the community), and their service level is unmatched. Ultimately, it does everything we need it to in a simple solution for a great price. I have encouraged many to make the switch. Cons DonorDock does have limitations on customization. Everything that we need from the tool is there, but if you get very granular with your donor information points, there may be missing areas. You can add different custom options to support these needs, but it may become excessive if you do it a lot. I would also like better automated workflows, but I have accomplished what I need by using third-party-linked solutions.

Director of HR & Fund Development Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "DonorDock for Small Nonprofit" June 14, 2023 5.0 DonorDock is regularly evaluating its platform and making updates, to include engaging user feedback. Customer service is quick, responsive and helpful.Data is a powerful tool and a tool that small nonprofits deserve to have too and not at outrageous costs. DonorDock has provided us a centralized platform for collecting, organizing, and analyzing crucial data. By capturing and analyzing data on donors, fundraising campaigns, and program outcomes, we are gaining more insights into our fundraising efforts. This data-driven approach enables us to identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions.We finally feel like we are actually in the game to manage fundraising goals rather than trying to understand dozens of spreadsheets that don't talk to each other in ways that we really needed! Pros Implementing DonorDock for us was a game-changer. DonorDock offers a multitude of benefits that streamline operations, enhance fundraising efforts, and foster stronger relationships with donors. By leveraging the power of a CRM, we have optimized our efficiency, increased our impact, and are achieving long-term sustainability in the work that we do. Cons The only thing that we have found that we are missing is a way to connect events to DonorDock, such as a way to sell tickets for fundraisers and track them through DonorDock vs. setting up a separate process for this and having to input data into the system for each ticket sold. Alternatives considered [GoFundMe Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/127258/GoFundMe-Pro/)[DonorPerfect](https://www.capterra.com/p/2698/DonorPerfect-Fundraising-Software/)[Little Green Light](https://www.capterra.com/p/123954/Little-Green-Light/) Reason for choosing DonorDock It had everything we needed. DonorDock didn't try to sell us on things we didn't need, especially being a small nonprofit, some functionality just doesn't make sense for us to have. DonorDock's costs were reasonable and the customer service has been great along the entire process. We didn't feel like we were getting a sales-pitch or pushed into using DonorDock which was much appreciated during the process. Review Source JS Jenny S. Development Events Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We love DonorDock!" February 10, 2023 5.0 Pros We love how easy it is to use the software. Other software systems we've used have taken days if not weeks to know how to do the most basic things and DonorDock was so easy to navigate. We are able to tailor our communications to our donors with the help of our marketing team and it looks just like we sent the email individually. The online giving pages are easy to set up and modify as needed. Cons There are some aspects of the software that I wish it had. For example: it would be nice to have a way to toggle between a primary address and a secondary address so we aren't having to manually manipulate a mailing list when some of our donors are down south for the winter; it would be nice to have the ability to run a report of total giving by year to be compared to other years, right now we pull a list for each year separately, merge them together and then make it all coherent it's very cumbersome. Alternatives considered [Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT](https://www.capterra.com/p/247647/Blackbaud-Raiser-s-Edge-NXT/) Reason for choosing DonorDock Pricing was the main factor along with ease of use. Switched from [Dynamics 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/157279/Dynamics-365/) The company that hosted the Dynamics system decided to not put anymore investment into keeping the software current and we needed something that was more user friendly. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing and Communications Director Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Robust, Cheap, and Easy" December 19, 2023 5.0 Pros I like how much Donor Dock can do, the fact that they don't raise our price for having a big database (one price no matter how big) and that it includes email marketing, which saves us money on having a separate emailer. Cons I wish that the integration between donor lists and marketing lists were a bit smoother. As well, I wish that I could change the assigned member for donors more easily, merge contacts more smoothly, or have contacts that have no assigned member. Reason for choosing DonorDock Price for the functionalities. Hands down, DD was the cheapest that we could find while still having everything that we needed. Switched from [Exceed Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/205619/Exceed-Software/) Exceed was in an old version, and we needed something in the cloud that multiple team members could use. Review Source EA Eddie A. Owner/Lead Guide Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent product with great customer service! " June 8, 2023 5.0 Great product, great company, and great customer service! Pros Donor Dock is a simple but elegant solution to nonprofits' fundraising and development needs across three main functions, CRM, Engagement/Donor Outreach, and donation platform and it's an excellent product in each category. Cons Honestly, nothing. Excellent product at a great price point. Alternatives considered [Little Green Light](https://www.capterra.com/p/123954/Little-Green-Light/)[Donorbox](https://www.capterra.com/p/156860/Donorbox/) Reason for choosing DonorDock Donor Dock IMO is much better at the main functions of DMS and a great value. Review Source LD Laura D. Client Success Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "DonorDock-Simple and Intuitive" April 4, 2025 4.0 Overall, it’s a simple platform that appears to be easy to navigate and give you an at—glance snapshot of donor history, records, and campaign progress. Pros DonorDock is a simple, intuitive donor management and donation processing platform for businesses and nonprofits who might just be starting out. Cons Sometimes, the filters in DonorDock can act a little “wonky” and not display the data correctly. If you re-filter or refresh a few times, this usually solves the issue. Review Source TI Tim I. Administrative Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Donordock has free option!" February 14, 2025 4.0 It is great for keeping donor records for free, tagging donors, and running reports. Pros Free option is very helpful for our small budget nonprofit. Cons Importing donor records was a bit difficult. Alternatives considered [Neon CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/102088/NeonCRM/)[Givebutter](https://www.capterra.com/p/172048/Givebutter/) Reason for choosing DonorDock It has a free option that meets our needs. Review Source LT Lisa T. Executive Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "DonorDock- User Friendly and Affordable" February 20, 2023 5.0 Thumbs up! Pros DonorDock is easy to use with no complex training required. Also, it is a much more affordable option than other products. Cons I wish there were more formatting options for the receipt letters. Alternatives considered [Blackbaud eTapestry](https://www.capterra.com/p/29170/eTapestry/) Review Source SG Sue G. Director of Development Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great CRM for small organizations" December 10, 2024 4.0 So far, it has been good. Pretty straight forward CRM/Donor Management system. Pros It's pretty simplistic to use. There seems to be some good analytic features that can be utilized. Cons Hard to find help in the software at this point, but I am new to it. Knowing CRM's I can figure some of the functionality out though.

Marketing Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DonorDock is the way to go! :) " August 10, 2021 5.0 We have loved DonorDock. It is such an intuitive product, the team/customer service is top notch, and the reports we are able to run at the snap of our fingers help us track our donors. Pros The ease of use. The people on our team have varying levels of comfort with technology and everyone can successfully use DonorDock. Cons I don't think there is anything I like least... It integrates with the things we need it to. Review Source Response from Donordock August 20, 2021 Thanks so much for the review Anna! We're glad that switching to DonorDock has made it easier for you to run reports and use the software on a daily basis. SH Savannah H. Community Care Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The affordable all in one solution to Donor Engagement and Management " June 8, 2023 4.0 Pros The most helpful thing about Donordock is how affordable it is with all of its amazing features. I was able to cancel our constant contact subscription and payment processor and streamline everything into Donordock which uses Stripe. This has saved our Non-Profit a lot of money and has offered better ways to engage with our donors than our previous CRM which didn't even recognize if we had a new donor. Cons I dislike the profile page available to our donors. I wish Donordock had a login page for all donors, not just monthly donors, where they could have their payment information memorized, accessible to change, and contribution statements to view. Alternatives considered [Virtuous](https://www.capterra.com/p/159179/Virtuous/) Reason for choosing DonorDock Affordability Review Source SM Shelly M. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "DonorDock - Look No Further! " June 16, 2023 5.0 DonorDock was exactly what my small nonprofit foundation needed. It checked all the boxes - and most importantly, it was affordable! Pros Affordable. Easy to use. Excellent customer service. Enewsletters templates. Unlimited contacts. Cons There isn’t anything I don’t like. They request suggestions and ideas for improvement. They adopted a suggestion of mine within the first few months I was using it! Reason for choosing DonorDock Price. Features. Customer service. These were key features that drove our decision. Review Source Steffane P. Director of Development & Marketing Mental Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "12 out of 10 CRM with all the functionality without the pricey contract " June 13, 2023 5.0 They are absolutely amazing! Pros DonorDock is extremely user friendly, has specific nonprofit tools built in and customizable reporting! Cons Would love to have more grant specific tools included Review Source JB Joe B. Dir. Dev. & Partbership Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I just love the product and the support" June 8, 2023 5.0 I am simply very happy with the system. Used Balckbaud before and it was a nightmare Pros They provide outstanding support and they continue to evolve and get better Cons I would like Donor Dock to be able to provide a texting service Reason for choosing DonorDock Good system, great price, Excellent service Switched from [Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT](https://www.capterra.com/p/247647/Blackbaud-Raiser-s-Edge-NXT/) Blackbaud was expensive and hard to use Review Source TB Tina B. Acting Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Donor Dock" July 27, 2021 5.0 Donor Dock has helped our small non-profit streamline our Thank You letters to donors and track our donations in an easy way. We are able to pull up reports to see exactly how much we fundraised for a specific event. Pros The most impactful feature of Donor Dock is the ability to track donations and streamline Thank You letters to donors. The other feature I like about Donor Dock is the ability to see what was fundraised for different events. It streamlines the reports and really easy to use for non-profits. Cons The feature that would be great for Donor Dock would be to integrate it with Giving Hearts Day, if it is not already. We have it streamlined with Stripe and it is able to send automatic Thank You letters to donors, which is a huge time saver for a small non-profit. If it would be able to do that with Giving Hearts Day, that would be amazing! Reason for choosing DonorDock We chose Donor Dock because we think it's important to support local companies. We also appreciate that they have great support and that they are always improving or adding things to Donor Dock to stay up with the times. They are a great organization that we love to support and want to see them grow. Review Source Response from Donordock August 19, 2021 Thanks Tina! We're so glad you've been enjoying DonorDock.

Assistant Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Could not have done it without DonorDock star employee: \[sensitive content hidden\] " May 13, 2023 5.0 DonorDock was so much easier to purchase than other products and the price point made it affordable for a small nonprofit to utilize. Pros We love the ease of use of the software, but most importantly is the help that \[sensitive content hidden\] gave us to get started with our database. She was the best Solution Engineer because she not only understands the complexity of functionality, but she can easily convey this information to us in a way that we understand. She is a delight to work with and we couldn't have been happier that she has been so responsive with us. Cons Nothing at this time. We are just starting to use the product after importing our data. Alternatives considered [Bloomerang](https://www.capterra.com/p/131207/Bloomerang/) Reason for choosing DonorDock The ease of installation and customer service. Review Source LW Leeora W. Assistant Executive Director/Program & Volunteer Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Donor Dock Fits our Non-Profit Perfectly" February 20, 2023 5.0 Pros We utilize DonorDock daily to manage multiple aspects of our organization. We track participant information including registration, program participation and correspondence. We also track our donors and sponsor's information along with their donations, correspondence, giving receipts, and contribution statements. The ease of having all the information in one place and having the ability to sort, categorize, badge and run multiple reports allows us to analyze a lot of information easily. Cons I think it would be helpful to be able to customize the fields in the contacts information. It is a lengthy form that we don't utilize as an organization well. Review Source JI Judd I. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use and import data" June 12, 2023 5.0 Pros Intuitive user interface. We like that pricing isn't tiered based on number of contacts. Most other solutions have a steep price increase that discourages growing contacts. Cons The need to use Zapier for integrations with other systems (which has a separate cost) is the only downside. Reason for choosing DonorDock We considered multiple other CRM solutions. DonorDock was the only one that did not have a steep price increase when the number of contacts hit a threshold (usually from 1,000 to 2,500). As a smaller nonprofit that's focused on growing our contacts and supporters, it's really important for us to control costs as we grow. Switched from [PayPal](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/)[Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/) DonorDock consolidates all contacts into one place and also has great features like dashboards and reporting as well as automated reminders to reach out to contacts. Review Source DB Danielle B. Special Projects Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DonorDock is for YOU" February 20, 2023 5.0 DonorDock is incredibly user-friendly and doesn't limit the number of donor contacts like many other systems. It's really easy to use, and they have frequent training, informational update zooms, and great customer service if you need anything. After you try DonorDock, you'll wonder what you ever did before and why it took you so long to sign up. Pros So user-friendly, the donor info management is next level, and the customer service is like I've never experienced anywhere. Cons It's hard to say cons as most of the time DonorDock is developing new ways to improve before I realize improvements need to be made.

Development Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Exactly what we needed " August 10, 2021 5.0 Nothing but good things. Glad we ran to this Pros Pricing is based on real world non-profit management. Not like the others that would have been more expensive as we grow or donor based. Cons A few features are not there yet but I fully believe this is the best solution for our needs and requirements Alternatives considered [Neon CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/102088/NeonCRM/)[Dynamics 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/157279/Dynamics-365/)[DonorPerfect](https://www.capterra.com/p/2698/DonorPerfect-Fundraising-Software/) Reason for choosing DonorDock Service, road map, functionality, cost, and management team Review Source Response from Donordock August 19, 2021 Thanks Larry! Yes, we're happy we can offer unlimited contacts so unlike other tools, we don't charge you more as your organization grows. We're also glad you've joined other nonprofits that have chosen DonorDock over tools like DonorPerfect, D365 or Neon, and we're very pleased you've had a 5 start experience. Thanks for your review!

Our accountant and marketing person find it very easy to work with. Pros It's very easy to use. We use it to enter and track gifts and to send out weekly e-mail and monthly newsletters. It's easy to pull lists and run reports. Cons I haven't come across any downfalls while using DonorDock.
