### "DonorPerfect - easy to use and customer support is top tier!"

May 15, 2024

5.0

Pros

DonorPerfect comes with a lot of integrations that seamlessly connect to each other. The payment processing gateway is reasonable and easy for our Accounting team to use. Non profit discounts apply when you purchase a year vs monthly.

Cons

It's hard to learn each feature and successfully implement a system. Training that was provided and mandatory was with instructors who were hard to follow and in a group setting that was not beneficial to the varying learning styles and paces.

### "DonorPerfect Works Well For Us"

January 13, 2024

5.0

I took over as the DonorPerfect administrator for our organization about 2 and a half years ago. I have learned a lot from the support team and from webinars. Utilizing some of the features of DonorPerfect we hadn't been using before has allowed me to streamline aspects of our donor organization and saves considerable time.

Pros

My personal favorite thing about DonorPerfect is the wide range of customization that is available for data fields. Tied into that, reports are easy to run and can produce a lot of great data if you use your filters and export templates well. Support is very helpful whether on the phone or on chat. The free live webinars are also great and lead by very knowledgeable individuals.

Cons

It is a bit of a learning curve to get used to certain functions in DonorPerfect. There are a few features I would adapt or change, but I don't have any significant problems with the system.

### "Ease of Use with DonorPerfect"

May 1, 2024

5.0

My overall experience has been one of quality and ease. DP has always made themselves available for questions and issues. I would highly recommend DP.

Pros

I love the fact that it is very ease to navigate and if I have any questions, I can easily get in touch with someone at DP that will help me to navigate through my issues.

Cons

At this time, I have not had any foreseeable issues.

July 11, 2024

5.0

I like how easy it is to search donors and any information I want about them is right there.

### "Effective for Tracking Donors and Donations"

April 23, 2024

4.0

My overall experience has been good. The software is effective in managing the data we need managed. Customer service is helpful but sometimes the wait times are long.

Pros

I like that it's user friendly and easy to navigate. Customer service is also helpful when trying to problem solve an issue.

Cons

There are a some features that are restrictive and should be updated. For example, there's an option to automatically record a contact when an email is sent to a donor, but it records it as a receipt sent. You can manually record that the donation was acknowledged but there's no way to set the automatic contact to acknowledge. This is frustrating because the majority of emails sent are to acknowledge, not to send receipts. Building filters is also a bit complicated, but customer service is helpful in that area.

### "Donor Perfect Review"

May 9, 2024

5.0

Pros

Help nonprofit to managing donations and donor management

Cons

DonorPerfect offers a comprehensive suite of tools for managing donor relationships and fundraising efforts. While its customization options are somewhat limited, and there's a learning curve for new users, the platform provides robust features for tracking donations, generating reports, and managing campaigns. The cost may be perceived as high for smaller organizations, but the platform's functionality justifies the investment for larger nonprofits. Overall, DonorPerfect is a reliable solution for streamlining fundraising operations and maximizing donor engagement

4.0

Pros

From my team's perspective, we enjoy that there is a component to be able to utilize donorperfect for grants management. It helps to consolidate our organizations information.

There are some ease of use issues that are unclear, and not super intuitive.

July 6, 2024

5.0

As the marketing and communications specialist, my interaction with the platform is specific to our donor communications. I find it to be a robust system backed by personal customer service.

Pros

The customer service was great. They helped us track down an inaccurate automated letter in our system that we'd tried to find and fix for two years.

Cons

There are nooks and crannies where auto replies such as ours can hide.

### "A Review of DonorPerfect"

April 30, 2024

5.0

DonorPerfect is accessible for to organizations regardless of size. It is a very good tool for effective donor management.

Pros

DonorPerfect delivers on its promise of cost-effectiveness, providing easy donor tracking and management. The interface is intuitive to help ensure accuracy.

Cons

The event management tool is not as built out as we need. We want easier ways to connect pages for individuals in event management.

May 1, 2024

Pros

My favorite thing about DonorPerfect is how customizable it is. If we notice something is not being tracked, we can easily add it to our database.

Cons

August 21, 2023

5.0

Pros

Their customer support is fantastic. I really appreciate the access to experts who can help me make the most of the system.

Cons

I would really appreciate a feature that allows us to track how our donors are connected with eachother and how they are connected with our agency so that I can run searches of names and come up with their contacts, etc.

### "Great Value for Small to Medium Size Nonprofits"

August 21, 2023

5.0

DonorPerfect has provided us with an excellent tool to manage our donor relationships, but its adoption across our organization has lagged due to some of it's perceived complexities and our failure to provide adequate training with respect to how we are using it. Still, for the price, we are very satisfied with our investment in this product.

Pros

Our organization struggled for literally years to implement a much more expensive and complex product that was eventually abandoned before it ever went live. Once the decision was made to go with DonorPerfect, we went live within 2 weeks and have been using it as our donor system of record for a number of years now.

Cons

DonorPerfect has a lot of flexibility, almost too much unless you are willing to spend the time to identify and define those features, user-defined customizations, and ongoing processes for data integrity, donor management, and reporting. Many smaller organizations may not have the resources to do this, but the investment is well worth the results.I also wish that some of the add on (i.e. text to give, donation thermometer, etc.) could be more affordable to organizations like ours.

### "Easy learning with DP"

September 8, 2023

5.0

Very user friendly and a great system for the value. A great system to implement for a nonprofit that is starting their fundraising program :)

Pros

DonorPerfect is a great CRM, especially for an organization that is newer to fundraising. We are currently building our fundraising program and DonorPerfect allows us to build donation forms, track gifts, and build donor profiles with ease. We use the events management tools for our fundraising events and it helps us track everything very seamlessly. If I ever have questions, I know I can reach out directly to their chat support and my question will be answered almost immediately.

Cons

The report center has been the most difficult for me to learn on my own. I am able to pull certain reports very easily (i.e., the ones that come already built in the system), but building out filters is something that needs training and takes time to learn. Thankfully, you can purchase training hours and work with an expert DP staffer who will walk you through the reports process.

### "DonorPerfect Review"

April 26, 2024

4.0

I have been happy with it as I find it easy to use, intuitive, and the customer support is very good.

Pros

Ease of use, intuitive, great customer support, has many useful features to make fundraising easier

Cons

I wish it had an easier way of showing constituent relationships and reciprocal relationships. For example, if I work for a school and am looking at a School Parents record, it would be nice to have a tab that would easily show who their children are and in what grade they are in .... as Raiser's Edge's Relationship tab does.

Reason for choosing DonorPerfect

Value for money, more user friendly features.

### "Tried-True Fundraising CRM for scrappy NPOs, been around forever w/ excellent customer service"

August 21, 2023

4.0

Pros

The excellent customer help lines are great. They walk you through every step of the way and often find workarounds if needed.

Cons

That this is not a household-based CRM and you can't have a separate record for each member of a household that rolls donations up. I didn't know this and have a separate record for each individual. When both are donors I needed to choose a Primary and secondary and merge them or else it creates duplicate mailings.

Reason for choosing DonorPerfect

it seems like it was more solid and had been around longest and had worked out all the kinks and had everything a one man shop DoD would need

### "DP has been a critical move for managing our donations"

August 25, 2023

5.0

Overall, it's been critical to our business.

Pros

Managing and tracking donations and donors has been super easy with DP.

Cons

Unfortunately we had issues with collecting donations through their form. We had hundreds of scam charges (which had never occurred before); they were eventually solved by DP but we had already moved our previous donation form and have stayed there.

### "A Wonderful Tool for your Nonprofit"

August 21, 2023

4.0

Our nonprofit is able to bookkeep, thank donors, engage with donors, create profiles, pull and analyze campaign information, and keep a clean database all within this one platform.

Pros

The integration with our previous data was quick and easy. The features for donor profiles and donor management are abundant, and mostly without an extra paywall. Inputting and acknowledgement of payments is a simple daily task that I carry out quickly and without concern.

Cons

Though features are abundant, it can take some time and training to be able to utilize and understand them, so it's important to set up training or ask via the chat box, and then write down the process so you remember. The steps for reporting are not always intuitive.

### "Powerful and flexible"

November 27, 2023

5.0

Overall, I'm very pleased with DonorPerfect for grants management.

Pros

It's flexibility and comprehensiveness. We are able to use DonorPerfect not only for donor management, but also for volunteer management and grants management, which is really great as many donors are also volunteers, and many companies send volunteer teams as well as making a grant through their foundation. As the grants manager, I am able to track the entire grant cycle, get notifications about upcoming deadlines and store important documents for others to access easily from any location with internet access.

Cons

While most of it is very intuitive, creating custom reports can be a little tricky.

### "Better than Blackbaud but still behind"

January 5, 2024

3.0

The change has been bumpy, but the support staff on call have largely been very helpful in quick responses and step by step instructions to resolve our issues.

Pros

Like the better integrated approach with fundraising, emails and donor tracking that we were not offered with our previous CRM platform.

Cons

The system is not visually appealing and there are tasks that are not intuitive in operation. The setup time was quick but there were many unaddressed matters and the data had lots of missing/incorrect information.

### "Happy Non-Profit"

October 27, 2025

5.0

We have been using Donor Perfect for many years and feel it offers lots of ways to customize our experience for donor data. Also offers good integration with other products.

Pros

It is very comprehensive and always updating with improvements and new features. It offers multiple ways to customize the donor screens to fit your individual needs.

Cons

Customer service options. The only way to get email or phone support is to have a three-month contract for it. It is not cost-effective and very frustrating as the chat is often not available.
