### "Great for a newbie!"

June 30, 2026

5.0

I have been working with the software for about a year, and it has both helped me learn my role and the industry at the same time as providing practical application of best practices. Easy to use, easy to understand, and plenty of support!

Pros

I am new to Donor Perfect and to fundraising in general, and the interface is both easy to use and helps me understand fundraising concepts, donor management, and document our stewardship efforts with ease. There is a clear application of all the concepts I am using, with an easy to understand interface, reporting structures, and bulk data management options.

Cons

The log-in process can be frustrating, as can accidentally clicking out of the tab while working in DP and trying to get back in.

### "I highly recommend!"

June 8, 2026

5.0

I have was introduced to Donor Perfect at another non-profit. I like the customer support, the ease of use and the cost.

Pros

Donor Perfect is easy to use and the customer support is excellent. This is the most cost effective system and the right size for our organization.

Cons

The give cloud interface with safesave could be improved. They operate separately and safesave also serves for profit so they aren't a good fit.

### "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.

### "Great Partners"

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.

### "Reliable and User-Friendly Donor Management Platform"

June 10, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with DonorPerfect has been very positive. It has been a reliable and effective tool for managing donor relationships and staying organized. While there are a few features that could be more intuitive, the platform has consistently met our needs and helped streamline many tasks.

Pros

What I like most about DonorPerfect was how user-friendly and organized it is. It makes it easy to manage donor information, track donations, and communicate with supporters efficiently. I also appreciate the helpful customer support and the ability to customize reports and workflows to fit our needs.

Cons

Some parts of DonorPerfect can feel a bit less intuitive, especially when navigating more advanced features or customizing certain settings. There was a bit of a learning curve at times, but overall it was still a very useful and reliable platform.

### "Sticking with DonorPerfect!"

June 23, 2026

4.0

I looked at other tools, but decided to stay with DonorPerfect. It seems to be more 'mature' than other options. Customer service is really good - they are available when I need it and they are effective and efficient at answering my questions.!

Pros

It tracks contact info, gifts, pledges, volunteer hours all in one system. I like that it sends data to QuickBooks to reduce redundant entry.

Cons

Reporting functions could be easier to use. For example, when setting up selection filter, the statement needs to be all "ands" or all "ors". I tend to run a report and then export it to MS Excel to 'clean it up' so that it fully reflects what it should. Reporting takes a lot of practice before it gets easier to use.

### "Great flexible system"

June 9, 2026

5.0

Wonderful experience overall. The onboarding team was incredible helpful and make sure we were set up for success.

Pros

DonorPerfect offers a lot more flexibility than our previous CRM. I love being able to create custom and calculated fields that provide us with exactly the data we need for reports. It's wonderful being able to use the screen designer to move information around on the main and gift screens. It has much more capacity for customization, plus the option to use SQL is very helpful vs other systems I have used.

Cons

The forms and landing pages have limited options, such as the inability to insert a google map into an event page.

It has been a very positive experience. DonorPerfect has everything we need to do our job efficiently.

Pros

Donor Perfect is easy to use, and has great customer service when I have additional questions. It's an invaluable tool for our office, and we are pleased with the cost, as it is a fraction of our former CRM and we lost no functionality.

Cons

I haven't found anything to dislike about the DonorPerfect software, and have recommended it to other entities.

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.

### "Reliable & User Friendly CRM"

March 30, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with DonorPerfect has been very positive. It’s a reliable, user-friendly CRM that handles day-to-day donor management well, especially for mid-sized organizations. While some of the advanced tools and reporting features take time to fully understand, the strong customer support and ongoing training resources make it easier to grow into the system over time.

Pros

DonorPerfect is an excellent choice for managing a mid to large donor base (4,000+ accounts). The user interface is simple and easy to navigate, making it quick to enter gifts and update donor data. One of the main advantages is their customer support. It’s arguably the best I’ve experienced with any CRM and far surpasses platforms like Altru and Raiser’s Edge. The pre-scheduled webinars are also a big benefit; they’re practical, easy to follow, and useful for staying up-to-date on new features and improving database efficiency.

Cons

Some of the more advanced features and integrations can be complex, particularly with add-ons like moves management, Constant Contact, DonorSearch, and video plugins. There’s certainly a learning curve. The reporting features are comprehensive, but this also makes them somewhat overwhelming and challenging to master. Personally, I am still working on improving my skills in this area.

### "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.

### "Pleased that we chose DP"

May 26, 2026

4.0

We are pleased that we chose DonorPerfect. It's a good value for the money. We're actually paying less for DP than we did for our last donor management product, and we have more capability.

Pros

Most of the system is easy to use, and the customer service is top-notch. We're working on our first fundraising event, and that is going fairly smoothly.

Cons

Generating and updating letter templates is a bit more complicated than it needs to be. Also, you have to design your own fundraising website if you want more than just a form.

### "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.

### "Easy to use and bonus learning!"

November 17, 2025

5.0

I really enjoy using DonorPerfect. There is so much that the program can do. I am constantly learning new tips and tricks to make the experience easier. I also really love the live webinars and toolkits that DonorPerfect provides.

Pros

DonorPerfect is so easy to use. I absolutely love all the training videos and articles! They are really informative and help explain everything so that it makes the program so easy to use.

Cons

There is not much I don't like about DonorPerfect. The only problem I have is if somebody tries to make a credit card payment on an online form and the credit card does not go through, it automatically generates a receipt #. This means there is a receipt # missing in the sequence.

### "An affordable solution"

March 9, 2026

4.0

Pros

Compared to lots of other CRMs, DonorPerfect is super affordable. It's also scalable and offers lots of integrations, so you can do a great deal of customization. It's fairly easy to use, once it's set up, and there are a number of ways to get help or find solutions to problems.

Cons

Some features are a little clunky; for instance, the difference between Classic Forms and Drag-and-Drop ones is incredible, with Drag-and-Drop being much more attractive and easier to build, but it isn't an option for every type of gift. However, updates and improvements do seem to happen pretty regularly.

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.

### "The real value within the intuitive"

August 29, 2025

5.0

One of the biggest wins is that it encourages board-level engagement in donor relationships, which is vital for long-term stewardship. Plus, we benefit from customizable dashboards, real-time reporting, integrated communication logs, and a strong security framework. For us, DonorPerfect isn’t just a tool; it’s an ally in mission-driven relationship-building. Also, DP is a tool that considers the value of money in terms of the time and security of our donors. On the other hand, they have a very efficient and attentive real-time support team; each question received a satisfactory and immediate response.

Pros

This past year, it helped us track donations across all stages, including those from our major annual gala and the follow-up checks that came in after. It’s an intuitive and secure platform that makes it easy for any team member, not just fundraisers, to navigate donor portfolios and preferences.

Cons

Something I think they can improve as a platform is the download of reports and the actual drafts folder.

### "Great product, worth the cost, but it is high"

December 18, 2025

5.0

It is an amazing product, but I often wonder if we need to make a change because there are a lot of things we don't use about it, like the forms, because they don't look very good on our website, and they payment forms, because the processing fees are a lot. We still have to pay for those things as line items though. It is a large cost for some of the simpler things we do, and rarely if at all acess the add on products.

Pros

The amount of features and abilities for reporting and data management, plus the integration with Constant Contact, is amazing. The support is great too.

Cons

It doesn't integrate well with other payment platforms, and the processing fees for credit cards is kind of high. Also we are fairly small, but we are trying to get more people as contacts, which also raises the cost.

### "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!

### "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.

Starting my new position has truly streamlined the way I access and manage information. With clearer systems and better tools, I’m able to find what I need much faster, which saves time and reduces stress. Instead of digging through multiple sources or relying on outdated processes, I now have direct access to organized, up‑to‑date information that supports my daily tasks. This improvement has made my workflow more efficient and has helped me feel more confident and capable in my role. Overall, having easy access to the right information has made a significant, positive difference in my day‑to‑day responsibilities. If you’d like it more formal, casual, or tailored to a specific workplace, I can adjust it!

Pros

DonorPerfect has been a very user‑friendly platform, especially for someone who is new to it. The layout is intuitive, and the menus are clearly labeled, which makes it easy to find the features you need without feeling overwhelmed. Even as a beginner, navigating through donor records, reports, and fundraising tools feels straightforward and well organized. The system guides you naturally from one task to the next, reducing the learning curve and helping you build confidence quickly. Overall, DonorPerfect offers a smooth, accessible experience that makes managing donor information efficient and stress‑free, even for first‑time users.

Cons

I would like to see a more robust and flexible auction platform within the system. While the current features work, the auction website would benefit greatly from enhancements that allow users to showcase items more effectively. One of the most important improvements would be the ability to add more pictures to each auction listing. Being limited in image uploads makes it difficult to highlight item details and can reduce bidder confidence. A more visually rich auction experience would not only improve the presentation of items but also help increase engagement and bids. Overall, expanding photo capacity would make the auction tool much more effective.

Overall, we are very pleased with DonorPerfect and the support provided by their team. It has been a reliable and valuable tool for our organization, and we look forward to continuing to use it in the years ahead.

Pros

We use DonorPerfect every day, and it has become an essential part of our work. The system is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the live chat support is responsive and helpful. When more in depth assistance is needed, the one on one support has been excellent. The integration with other online giving platforms works seamlessly and makes managing donations efficient and straightforward.

Cons

Only minor issues at times, which are easily resolved with chat support or emailing the tech support team. Response time is fast, and the support team really cares about their customers.

I have been using DonorPerfect for 3 weeks now, my company has been using it for much longer though. It has been an amazing tool to help me, as a new director, learn who the donors are and begin to reach out to them and build relationships. This has also been amazing for me to see who is engaged with us, and who I need to begin to work on better relationships with so that we can support them, and also gain future support from.

Pros

DonorPerfect is an easy way to keep track of donors. It helps to create mailing lists for e-blasts, as well as physical newsletters for future fundraising campaigns as well.

Cons

I am still learning how to use this platform, as I am 3 weeks into this position, however, the only issue I have with it is there is occasionally a lag with the human verification button at the log in screen (and that could be from my side).
