### "Great Solution for Charitable Organizations "

July 27, 2026

5.0

Kudos! highly recommend this software solution for non-profit/charitable organizations. We especially appreciate that the integration with other software (ie QuickBooks) is seamless.

Pros

We continue to be very pleased with the program and especially customer service if and when we have questions or issues. Resolution is quite and comprehensive. A cost effective and robust solution making our life easier!

Cons

we have no complaints. To date our problems have been resolved and we hope that the company continues to be responsive and solution focussed.

### "Non-Profit Donations Software "

July 20, 2026

5.0

Using DonorPerfect has been an asset for our non-profit. They have excellent training and customer service, as well.

Pros

DonorPerfect is a comprehensive donations software system. Reports are easy to produce and have contributed to audit compliance.

Cons

At the beginning we had some issues with transferring data. The additional cost of this software required a corresponding adjustment to our budget.

### "I'm not sure about the hype "

December 11, 2025

2.0

I work with nonprofit industry veterans (maybe combined experience of 50+ years) and none of them are DP experts. What I mean is that, none of their "let's do this" is easily accomplished on the DP platform. I am heavily involved in our end-of-year donations process and realizing that we're NOT using DP to track our outreach and donations received; but using DP as a redundant CRM that has to be updated manually. My secret 3-year plan is to move us out of DonorPerfect, because again, a free plan with Airtable could very easily replace our current procedure with DP.

Pros

It reminds me of the tech-solution optimism of the early aughts. It is "user-friendly" and offers a lot support. All of the compliments towards DonorPerfect (DP) are true. You can set up online donation forms to receive donations and DP has a native processing gateway to process that.

Cons

You can find a lot of out-of-the-box-plug-and-play database apps on the market today such as Notion, Airtable, etc. If you have any experience using those or learning about databases, nothing about DP makes sense. I just want to see "what is the latest donation?" "show me the last 5 donations" and I cannot get that answer immediately. It takes at least 8 clicks (Reports > Report Center > choose report > four clicks to set period > hit Run Report) and a little time drinking coffee before you can see the answer. DP is user-friendly in that, it has its own language and logic about where any information or feature is. A new user who's less tech literate will have to learn this, and yes there ARE resources, webinars, on-demand webinars, help articles, support chats, all available for you to fully master DonorPerfect. I am not sure how much of what you learn could be applied outside of DP. An impatient user familiar with databases will throw up their hands immediately just like I did.

### "DonorPerfect (into year 3)"

July 2, 2026

4.0

Implementing the system requires the assistance of a knowledgeable advisor. The system is extremely customizable, however it is potentially very easy to start customizing before completely understanding the functionality of the base system.

Pros

Customer support is above average. Reporting capabilities, though complex, are extremely helpful for database clean up and sophisticated strategic review.

Cons

Forms module that comes as part of the base product is outdated. Support for 3rd party integration with Constant Contact is limited.

### "Great value, support, and easy to use!"

July 22, 2026

4.0

Overall, DonorPerfect is an easy-to-use CRM that is a great value for your money. Their customer support is incredible, and they host regular webinars on hot non-profit topics for all customers to join and participate in for no additional cost. It makes tracking fundraising campaigns easy, and integrates seamlessly with Constant Contact to communicate with members a breeze.

Pros

DonorPerfect is incredibly easy to customize for each organization's needs. Automated prompts are easily set up to flag donors who should be contacted, and a "contacts" tracking feature to track interactions and set reminders for future touch points. It makes moving prospects toward larger gifts strategic and meaningful.

Cons

It can be challenging to keep all staff entering information into DonorPerfect in the same way, which can make report running challenging. Because the CRM is so customizable, employees have the ability to create fields that they may use, but they are not used consistently by all employees.

### "Helpful and Reliable for Day-to-Day Development Work"

August 18, 2026

4.0

Overall, my experience with DonorPerfect has been positive. It is a reliable donor management system that helps our team effectively manage donor records, process gifts, track engagement, and support fundraising efforts. While there are opportunities for modernization and improved usability, the platform offers strong functionality and has been a valuable tool for our organization's development operations.

Pros

DonorPerfect provides a comprehensive way to track donor relationships, gifts, event participation, and communications all in one place. I appreciate the flexibility of the reporting tools and the ability to customize fields to meet our organization's specific needs. It makes managing donor data, generating acknowledgments, and tracking fundraising efforts more efficient.

Cons

Some features can feel outdated and are not always as intuitive as newer platforms. Building more complex reports often requires extra time to navigate filters and settings, and there is a learning curve for new users. I would also like to see improvements to the overall user interface and workflow efficiency.

### "Donorperfect works well for us"

July 20, 2026

4.0

Overall, the product has served us well and we will continue to use it. Their support is great and the reps listen to your needs, even if they can't do what you are asking for at that moment.

Pros

Their customer support is top notch, always easy to work with. Their people are well acquianted with the project.

Cons

Some of the report functions are not flexible enough. You can't get different columns from certain pages into the same report. There is always a hard upsell on new features.

### "DonorPerfect is a Good Choice"

July 27, 2026

4.0

Overall, they are a good platform with enough report templates for initial reporting and help is available for more complex reporting.

Pros

The customer support is very helpful in running reports for various initiatives. They are responsive and helpful with email backup to aid in the report prep.

Cons

I would like more flexibility in the pre-programmed report templates. It would be helpful to see the address fields more manageable, for new way married people are addressed. I would also like the IN KIND donations have more flexibility for the acknowledgement letters.

### "Flexible and Versatile CRM with Room to Improve Reporting"

August 19, 2026

4.0

Pros

I really appreciate the flexibility DonorPerfect provides in screen design and user-created fields. That adaptability allows us to use it as a CRM across a variety of program offerings, in addition to traditional donor development.

Cons

One area where I would like to see enhancements is reporting. Specifically, we would benefit greatly from the ability to create subfolders to better organize and store reports. Because we use DonorPerfect across a variety of program offerings, this additional organizational flexibility would make it much easier to manage our reports and improve overall efficiency.

### "Long time clients, love this product."

August 24, 2026

5.0

Pros

We have been clients for many years, the customer support has been outstanding and the product is constantly evolving to meet needs. I particularly like the flexible reporting options which allow us to customize which fields we need. Most recently, the reevaluation of the Duplicate Removal process was well thought out.

Cons

There are a few personalized search fields that I wish could be part of the "quick search". I had issues with the previous duplicate removal process, I am glad it has reverted back.

### "Helpful Donor Management Platform!"

June 3, 2026

4.0

Overall, I would say minus some things here and there that have been "glitchy" or not helpful (i.e. reporting, deposit sections that I use on a weekly basis) this platform gives me everything I need to use for our donors on a daily basis! Customer service could use some help after hours (I.e. have an emergency response team for people that work outside of their work hours or have a different time zone) but other than that it is excellent and helpful!

Pros

I have found it most helpful to use donor perfect to organize and schedule donor contacts whether email or mailing them a hand written note. I also love that I can label and and see at a glance helpful information right on the beginning part of the donor's profile. The section called narrative has been helpful to use for quick notes I need our team to be able to see and read to be able to better interact with donors on a collaborative basis. When I have needed customer support, they have responded within a 24 hour period, have been helpful and apologetic when things don't work, and work quickly to resolve the issue. Donor Perfect for the most part has been easy to use and helpful for our organization this year.

Cons

I don't like the reporting section of donor perfect at all. There are way too many filters that are needed in order to pull info I need quickly. It also is not the most user friendly and takes time to rewatch videos and take more notes in order to use. The deposit section needs some updates to get rid of bugs/glitches, and make it faster and easy to use without a bunch of unnecessary parts to fill out each time.

### "Confidence Through Support, Growth Through Learning"

April 20, 2026

5.0

What stands out most in my experience with DonorPerfect is the balance it strikes between support and self-sufficiency. The live support team is consistently responsive and helpful, making it easy to get unstuck in the moment. At the same time, the knowledgebase serves as a reliable companion—well-organized and thorough—allowing me to explore features more deeply and build my own understanding at my own pace. That said, the platform isn’t without its challenges. The coding aspect, particularly when it comes to customization or more advanced functionality, can feel a bit complex and occasionally requires extra time and patience to navigate. For users who aren’t as technically inclined, this can present a learning curve. Overall, my experience with DonorPerfect has been very positive. The strength of its support system, combined with the depth of its resources, creates a sense of confidence and capability. Even when I run into more technical hurdles, I feel well-equipped to work through them, knowing help and guidance are always within reach.

Pros

One of my favorite things about DonorPerfect is the live support—it’s always there when I need help—as well as the knowledgebase, which I can turn to anytime I want to deepen my understanding or learn something new.

Cons

What I like least about DonorPerfect is that the coding can get a little tricky at times, especially when trying to customize or implement more advanced features. But again, support is always available to walk through with me.

Alternatives considered

[Salesforce Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/268338/App-Cloud/)

Reason for choosing DonorPerfect

I chose DonorPerfect over Salesforce because it felt more immediately aligned with the needs of nonprofit fundraising without requiring extensive customization to get started. While Salesforce is incredibly powerful, it often demands a higher level of technical setup and ongoing management to tailor it for donor tracking and development work. DonorPerfect, on the other hand, offers a more intuitive, out-of-the-box experience with features specifically designed for managing donors, campaigns, and reports. Combined with its responsive live support and accessible knowledgebase, it gave me confidence that I could both use the system effectively right away and continue building my skills over time without feeling overwhelmed.

### "DonorPerfect is Easy to Use"

April 1, 2026

4.0

It seems easier to use than Blackbaud Raiser's Edge. However, it may be lacking in some ways. I still need to become more familiar with Donor Perfect.

Pros

It offers a centralized database for all constituent information, ensuring staff and board members have access to the same up-to-date information. The platform allows for real-time updates, organization-wide collaboration, and the ability to customize workflows to fit specific needs.

DonorPerfect's best features include its user-friendly interface, strong support, and the ability to manage donations, engage donors, and streamline administrative tasks. It is particularly suited for organizations looking for a reliable and straightforward tool to manage donor interactions effectively.

Cons

I wish that it was easier to find a report that shows my Solicitor activities like donor visits, phone calls, emails, notes sent, etc. I haven't found that yet.

### "Solid, Reliable, Database for Cost Conscious Development Teams "

March 9, 2026

4.0

It is generally a simple to use system that takes little time to get accustomed to, making it easy for new team members to get up to speed. It is a cost effective product for our small development team and provides us with solid solutions for the reporting, mailing, and recording keeping needs we have. The customer service team goes above and beyond and always make sure issues are resloved in a timely manner.

Pros

Donor Perfect Online (DPO) is a great value for the cost. DPO serves our small to medium sized organization well. Its greatest assets are the simple to use reporting features and very friendly, prompt, customer service team. I've personally called their tech support often and every single time they've been able to help reslove my issue and never laughed at me when I was making a simple user error! :)

Cons

Our least favorite part of DPO is the way in which couples are handled in the system. If putting s couple on the same record, it is challening to identify which personal information (cell phone and email address for exmaple) goes with which person in the couple. There are work-arounds of course and we've been able to handle this with close attention to detail and consistiant recording keeping procedures.

June 3, 2026

5.0

From the start DonorPerfect staff has walked along side us and helped us to grow and use the system more and more. We still have a lot to learn but I know the DP staff is there to help us get the most out of the system.

Pros

DonorPerfect is easy to use and as affords you the ability to build customizations to meet your organizations language and needs. The support is amazing. You can quickly be in contact with a support person that knows what they are doing and is able to answer your questions. The training is even better. The trainers are deep in experience and able to customize the training for the user need and skill level.

Cons

Volunteer management capability could be stronger. There are good options for interfacing into other volunteer systems but would like it all in one.

### "Donor Perfect takes the frustration out of trying to be Perfect! "

April 7, 2026

5.0

My experience so far has been excellent. The training resources and the in-person trainings have been incredibly helpful and the professionalism from the staff is refreshing.

Pros

Customer Service from the very beginning has been so good. The knowldege of the DP staff and their ability to accommodate our organizations needs has made the on boarding process smooth and pleasant. I also love the user friendliness and the knowledge center to help me take full advantage of all the system can do to help make our fundraising efforts more seamless.

Cons

I think the least liked part is that the migration process has taken a lot of time but the staff has made it worthwhile so not so bad. I am both looking forward to getting access to using the database and also kind of dreading the work i have to do to clean up our records and streamline. At least, DP is user friendly and has great customer service to help me as we ramp up.

Good but it has taken a long time to learn ways to use and there are still features I don't utilize.

Pros

Reliable, great customer support via chat and phone, so many possibilities with reporting and pulling queries.

Cons

I feel as if I need a degree in data management to use DP in the ways I want. I was a novice when I started in the field of development and have learned everything along the way. If I had a background in data, I'm sure it would be easier to navigate. However, since I am not a data management expert, I crave a more intuitive user experience.

### "One-Stop Shop review"

December 3, 2025

4.0

Overall, I really do love the platform; it's very easy to use, it has everything you need to set up different ways to collect donations, and again, it's a one-stop shop, which is very convenient and cost-effective. I would highly recommend this platform to any non-profit organization looking to change their current CRM.

Pros

That you had built-in platforms, which make for ease of use and make it a one-stop shop. There are a ton of forms that you have created and thought of for accounting and event management. Your event platform is excellent as well. You have different ways to set up an event, which doesn't necessarily mean you have to include the auction piece.

Cons

there are a few things that could be improved on the constituent's information page, and there are some things that really aren't needed. I also was not happy with the chat support, as I am new to the system and was trying to set up an event for the first time, and I had to go through 3 chat support people before I got the right one that helped me the most and put me in the right direction.

May 20, 2026

5.0

Overall this is a fantastic software. It is comprehensive and very customizable. They are constantly doing things to improve and upgrade the software. They also have many partners that provide additional services and completely integrate with DonorPerfect.

Pros

It is a very robust software. Since you can customize every page, it allows you to track what is most important to you. This makes donor management and collaboration very easy.

Cons

I find the reporting can sometimes feel clunky. There is a lot to learn about the system because it does so many things. When pulling reports it is not always easy to understand what to request to get the data you want and need.

It's an overall fine experience. It's not amazing but it serves it's purpose and DonorPerfect does a nice job of continually trying to improve it.

Pros

It provides a place to capture donations and ticket sales for the Illinois Symphony Orchestra. It also allows us to create a variety of online forms for various events and/or donation opportunities.

Cons

I don't think pulling reports is the most intuitive process. There's a lot of features with the old online form system that makes it easy to secure results, contact information with clicks and you can easily see the confirmation emails. There's a lot of structure there that should be included in the online drag and drop forms. Also, it'd be great to see SMS added w/ the Constant Contact combined subscription.

### "Endless Product Capabilities & Incredible Support plus Learning Materials"

March 12, 2026

4.0

My experience has been wonderful so far! The system interface is complex, but after some time spent within the system, it makes more sense to navigate. I really enjoy the chat feature to ask specific questions to the DonorPerfect support team. Similarly, the materials in the Learning Center are useful and thorough!

Pros

DonorPerfect is extremely comprehensive and has so many features! There really are few (if any) limits to the variety of options available, all depending on the objective of your organization. From pulling data insights, connecting with donors, sharing automatic updates and thank you letters, and more! I feel that I’ve barely scratched the surface on the full capabilities of DonorPerfect, but I’m excited to become more familiar with the system and cater our use of this system directly to the needs of our organization and the community we want to build with our donors. When the system feels confusing, I really enjoy the Learning Center and the chat features! Super helpful!

Cons

This is a con in a certain light, but is ultimately a necessary aspect of a major pro of DonorPerfect. Because there are soooo many capabilities and features, it can feel overwhelming and confusing at first. I think the developers do a good job of making the system interface as simple and easy-to-use as possible, but the complexity of the system definitely can feel challenging initially. Regardless, the “complexities” I’ve noted are necessary and genuinely appreciated given the endless possibilities within the system. And the Chat feature with DonorPerfect support, along with the step-by-step guides available in the Learning Center, are immensely valuable!

June 11, 2026

5.0

I do the thank yous, reports and some development letters for our organization. When I have a question or need help with a report Donor Perfect customer support is very knowledgeable & understanding. They are also a pleasure to talk to!

Pros

What I like most about DonorPerfect is that it is a easy and friendly software that I learned quickly when I started 7 years ago and still love it! No big changes in the software for it to be a learning curve each time.

Cons

What I like least about DonorPerfect is that there is not an overlap in their lunch schedule if you need to reach out to them between 1:00 and 2:00. As I only work one day a week, and start very early in the morning, so to have to wait that hour if I have a question sometimes does not work for me.

### "My Experience With Donor Perfect"

March 23, 2026

5.0

I have found that Donor Perfect is an invaluable tool to manage donors and their donations. It's very user friendly and has great customer support!

Pros

Donor Perfect is very user friendly. If an issue comes up with a donor it's easy to chat with customer support to get your issue resolved.

Cons

On a few occasions when I contacted customer support my issue wasn't resolved. Sometimes I would start a new chat with a different person or try and figure out the situation with a coworker. That is rare though.

### "Reliable, Organized, and Powerful Fundraising Tool"

June 22, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with DonorPerfect has been very positive. It has been a reliable and effective tool for managing donors, tracking donations, and organizing fundraising efforts. It helps keep everything centralized and easy to access, which saves time and improves communication across our team. Once you become familiar with the system, it becomes an invaluable part of managing campaigns and staying on top of fundraising goals.

Pros

What I liked most about DonorPerfect is how easy it is to use while still being really powerful for managing donors and fundraising. It keeps everything organized in one place—donations, contact history, and reporting—so I always have a clear picture of our fundraising progress. I also really appreciate how customizable it is for different campaigns and how helpful the reporting tools are when tracking goals and sharing updates with the team.

Cons

Honestly, there isn’t much to dislike, but if I had to note something, it can take a little time to learn all the features at first because there are so many options. Occasionally, some of the reports and customization settings feel a bit complex until you get used to how everything is structured.

### "Fills the Bill without a HUGE bill!"

May 4, 2026

4.0

It looks at donors differently, and that was a bit of a learning curve, but it's very functional. I've found that I really have no reason to look at another system, it does what I need for less than the "cadillac" systems that are crazy expensive for almost the same functionality!

Pros

There are some really great processes on DonorPerfect. Donor thank you letters are an almost seamless process, either in batches or in the gift screen. The event planning piece is another that I feel like I could use even better. I think it has everything we need at a more affordable price than other data management systems!

Cons

I'd love a few tweaks, for instance the ability to date limit people's attributes (flags) and export some reports that don't currently export - having to hand type my events report was disappointing.
