### "Donor Perfect a Users Opinion"

September 2, 2025

4.0

we changed from Raisers Edge and i do find that Donor perfect, although it does not have quite the extensive query capability, donor perfect is very effective and works well for out Foundation size

Pros

it has amazing support. it is definitely easy to use and i really enjoy the webinars that are pre-taped

Cons

some of the features are hard. being able to enter credit cards in batch as well as cheques and cash It would be nice to have more live webinars where you can ask questions and be able

### "Keeps Our Donor Data Organized and Our Mission on Track"

October 10, 2025

5.0

Overall, DonorPerfect has been a reliable and valuable tool for managing our donor data and fundraising activities. It keeps everything organized in one place and helps us build stronger relationships with our supporters. While there’s a learning curve and the interface could be more modern, the system’s functionality, reporting options, and excellent customer support make it well worth using. It’s a solid choice for nonprofits that need a comprehensive donor management solution.

Pros

DonorPerfect makes it easy to manage donor relationships, track giving history, and generate detailed reports. The integration with online donation forms and automatic receipting saves a lot of time, and being able to segment donors for targeted communications is a huge plus. The customer support and training resources are also excellent—responsive and genuinely helpful.

Cons

The interface feels a bit dated and can be clunky when navigating between modules. Some reports take multiple steps to customize, and syncing with third-party platforms (like email or event systems) can sometimes be inconsistent or limited. It’s powerful software, but not always intuitive—especially for new users.

### "Donor Perfect review"

May 9, 2025

5.0

I'd like to share my positive experience with Donor Perfect and their Ready Set Auction app. We've been using Donor Perfect for our donor management needs, and it has been a valuable tool for our organization. Specifically, we recently used their Ready Set Auction app for our fundraising event, and it was a great success! The app streamlined the entire auction process, from managing items and bids to handling checkout. It saved us a significant amount of time and effort, and helped us raise more funds. Here are some of the things we appreciated: Ease of use: The Ready Set Auction app was user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy for our staff and volunteers to manage the event. Features: The app had all the features we needed, including online bidding, mobile bidding, and automated checkout. Support: The DonorPerfect team provided excellent support throughout the process. Overall, we are very satisfied with Donor Perfect and Ready Set Auction. I would highly recommend them to any nonprofit looking for a comprehensive donor management solution and a powerful tool for fundraising events.

Pros

Donor Perfect has been a game-changer for our organization! We've been particularly impressed with how user-friendly it is for managing donor information. The system makes it incredibly easy to input new donor data and update existing records. This has saved us a significant amount of time and reduced the potential for errors. We also appreciate how straightforward it is to generate reports on donor demographics. The intuitive interface has made these tasks much more efficient. Overall, Donor Perfect has helped us to increase efficiency in donor management and free up staff time for other important tasks. We highly recommend Donor Perfect to any nonprofit looking for a robust and easy-to-use donor management system

Cons

When couples have different last names, finding the husband's information can be tricky if it's filed under the wife's name.

### "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.

### "Bookkeeper"

March 11, 2026

4.0

It is above average, compared to other "CRM" systems I have used in the past. I generally don't have any issues with the product or system, and the support is often very helpful when needed.

Pros

How easy it is to keep track of donations and reports. Currently I have to create a lot of reports manually, so it is easy to find the information I need.

Cons

When downloading online forms and it keeps asking to create a new donor, when the same exact information is pulled. I never could understand why the system thinks a new donor should be created when literally every field is the written exactly the same. Also, I don't like that I have to re-sign in every 10 days. Why isn't this every 30 days like other websites? I have to use Donor Perfect every day for my non-profit, so on the 10th day when it asks me to wait for the verification email, it always makes me cringe since I have to wait multiple minutes for the email to come through.

### "Executive Director"

March 25, 2026

5.0

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).

### "DP is great"

April 14, 2025

5.0

My experience with DP has always been positive. Our first database with DP utilized their installed version, and they supported us throughout the entire setup process. When we migrated to the online version, they were there every step of the way as well.

Pros

DonorPerfect is user-friendly and makes training new users simple. The platform is consistently upgraded and improved. The resources, knowledge base, and staff are incredibly helpful.

Cons

Many nonprofits receive donations on various platforms, such as PayPal. It would be beneficial if DP could implement an integration that allows nonprofits to import donations from these platforms into DP, reducing human error in manual data entry.

### "We're so glad we chose DonorPerfect!"

June 30, 2025

5.0

We LOVE DonorPerfect! The training is flexible, the chat support is robust (and the people are friendly and professional), and once we got the hang of running reports, we couldn't believe how easy it is (we actually laughed in glad amazement). DonorPerfect will pay for itself in time saved!

Pros

Our team loves how much time it saves us compared to the system we had before, which we had to supplement with our own spreadsheets to capture the information we needed.

Cons

Some minor suggestions: A couple of the Foundations series videos went a little fast for us and would have been better divided into two videos each. We can pause the videos and rewatch items, but they were still a bit confusing because we watched them before our records transfer. We would have liked having some dummy constituents and records of our own before and during the import of our actual records. Would love to have chat support a little longer into the afternoon (we're Mountain Time).

[FundRaiser](https://www.capterra.com/p/2696/FundRaiser-Family/)

FR was outdated and did not provide integrations, nor did they offer comprehensive, on-demand tech support. And running reports was something we dreaded having to do because of the time wasted and the fact that no report was ever exactly what we wanted. We spent so much time trying to get the information we needed, and were rarely satisfied with the end product.

### "Great tool for non-profits of any size!"

May 18, 2026

5.0

Pros

I think it is an easy tool to navigate and the support team is just amazing. I feel after 3 years using it that it keeps updating and bringing new features like the new online forms. The donor management possibilities are great and we have work to do to use it at its full potential.

Cons

There is nothing that comes to mind. I think sometimes building reports can be a bit challenging, but again the support team is always very helpful and quick.

### "Happy New Customer"

October 3, 2025

5.0

The staff has been responsive, professional, knowledgeable and always available by phone. It is the personal touch that makes DP stand out from other CRM's I researched.

Pros

Our organization is new to DonorPerfect. We are in the initial phase of getting our constituents migrated, but in the meantime I am working though the webinars, which I find impressively well done. I am able to maneuver through DP while I learn and it is very intuitive. I signed up with DP because I was convinced it would be "easy" and so far it is exceeding my expectations!

Cons

I haven't found anything I don't like yet. I'm looking forward to getting our data uploaded so we can schedule mailings and see results!

### "Donor Perfect Review"

February 19, 2026

5.0

We just started using Donor Perfect last year. It has been much easier to use than the previous software we had. All communication has been geared toward making Donor Perfect work for us instead of us having to adjust to how it works.

Pros

I have appreciated the support and training to get the most out of Donor Perfect. All the updates of trainings available as well as changes to the site like the Constituent page just added to the dashboard are well communicated.

Cons

I have had some difficulties in working with the filters to have only the information I want on the reports. I have chatted with customer support, but I'm a tech novice and still struggle.

### "Alexander's Donor Perfect Review 2025"

May 29, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experience with DonorPerfect has been positive. I have been using this product for about nine months now, so I am more familiar with its inner workings than I was when I started. Customer service has been very reliable and helpful with every issue I've had which is WONDERFUL!!! I LOVE YOU!!! I wish I could say the same about Meta's Facebook support :0 YUCK! But that is an outside issue, my apologies for digression.

Pros

I like the experience it offers to an inexperienced person like myself when learning about the language and context of online and paper giving, as well as campaigns, events, pledges and all those terms that I didn't know prior to using it. I also like its customizability when it comes to record keeping and characterization/organization of donor/gift information.

Cons

I need to manually run calculations in the FULL\_NAME section of calculated fields each time a new contact is imported from Qgiv. This is fairly simple to do, but I think it should be done automatically by the DonorPerfect program. Y'all know better than I do, but I can't think of a reason why a calculated field wouldn't be updated on a regular basis. I will run a report, and I use the FULL\_NAME field quite often in reports, but if it is a new contact imported from Qgiv, FULL\_NAME will show up empty, and I will ask myself, "Who is this donor?" and then I will remember, "Oh I need to run a calculation by hand and run the report over again." It's a small inconvenience, and I remember to run the calculations now, but I am thinking about future users here. Cool. Thanks for listening to me complain!!! :)

August 11, 2025

Customer service is awesome, and email campaigns are user-friendly! There are so many different ways to track your donors, use all of the functionality.

Pros

The donor management is fantastic, and the customer support is unmatched. Definitely something I'd recommend to any nonprofit.

Cons

The interface on your phone to have donors pay at events isn't as user-friendly as I'd like. DonorPerfect is defintely the best.

### "Donor Database Maintenance is a Breeze!"

May 4, 2026

5.0

Overall, I would recommend DonorPerfect to other non-profit organizations. We can keep our database clean, managed with donor preferences, and historical data at our fingertips!

Pros

DonorPerfect has been great for our organization. The ease of running reports and tracking donor information is fantastic! We are able to make sure we are staying in touch with everyone. Tracking donations based on fundraising campaigns in essential to the work we do, and DonorPerfect simplifies that for everyone in our organization.

Cons

Having to verify my login information every 10 days is a bit tedious. If there is a way to stay verified longer, that would be preferable.

October 20, 2025

4.0

Overall, my experience is great! I love their customer service and willingness to help. It would use an update on the field thing but compared to other programs I've used, this is a million times better!

Pros

CUSTOMER SUPPORT is AMAZING!!!! They are always there for you, they try as hard as they can to help you with your problem. They will go above and beyond, they will even send you a follow up email with instructions or anything else you might need.

Cons

That there are some things that can't be changed if it's not a field. For example, if I misspell or miss labeled a batch name, once committed I can't change it.

### "Plenty of potential, challenging for small nonprofits"

August 25, 2025

3.0

My experience is fine but not outstanding. The system has plenty of potential and does some things extremely well. I find the customer support responsive. I think the platform is overly complex for small nonprofits.

Pros

Donation forms are visually appealing and easy for donors to use. Multiple donation options are a plus! proactive customer service/outreach is a nice touch. Plenty of sophisticated functionality - for those willing and able to invest the time to understand the platform.

Cons

Not easy to find relevant training - esp if I need it on-demand. Would love drag and drop campaign builders, I feel having to understand/remember how to customize text, how to segment, etc is a challenge for a small org. Reporting is a challenge for me - building a custom report is unnecessarily complex (and I consider myself tech savvy).

My overall experience with DonorPerfect has been great so far! It has been relatively easy to navigate, collaborate, and add donor information.

Cons

There are some features that don't feel particularly useful to my organization and what we do that I don't really need access to. Also, I find the report builder to be a little clunky/confusing.

August 14, 2025

4.0

I've been using DonorPerfect for the last 3 years now, and it has been fine. I haven't used any other donor management software, but I've been overall happy with it.

Pros

It's UI is neat and easy to understand. Codes are easy to understand and quite easy to create data from.

Cons

Some of the reports are a bit finicky. Our Pledges balance due is inconsistent with the total giving report, simply because some people gave extra over their pledge.

Pros

Cons

While the basic navigation is easy, some of the more powerful tools and customization options can take time to learn and set up effectively.

### "Donor Perfect Review 2026"

May 4, 2026

4.0

Overall, I find DonorPerfect to be a dependable donor management system that supports both administrative and fundraising needs. It helps streamline donor tracking, maintain clean records, and produce reports that are useful for identifying trends and supporting engagement efforts. It hasn't always the most flexible tool for highly customized reporting, but it is effective for core donor management functions and helped keep workflows organized and consistent.

Pros

I really appreciated how DonorPerfect centralizes donor interactions. Being able to see a full history of communication, engagement, and giving in one place made it easier to build more personalized and consistent relationships.

Cons

One thing I found challenging was that some of the reporting options weren’t as flexible as I would have liked. When I needed more customized or layered reports, it sometimes took extra steps or workarounds to get exactly what I needed.
