“I have experience with two other cloud-based donor management systems from other organizations I work with and have found DonorSnap to be the most user-friendly, intuitive, and effective. While understanding how to properly set up the reports takes some getting used to (the video trainings offered are very helpful and anytime I have questions beyond that, I always receive prompt and helpful replies from customer service), the information I get out of the reports is far more customizable and helpful compared to the report functionality of other systems.“

### "Two Years with DonorSnap and Going Strong"

March 17, 2025

5.0

We transitioned from a big-name donor database platform to 2 years ago and haven't looked back. The DonorSnap team provided hands-on service for the transition process and such personalized continued service that I know everyone by their first names. I always recommend DonorSnap to my peers in the Senior Care community and would recommend it to all philanthropic professionals at small to mid-sized nonprofits.

Pros

is a user-friendly online database that allows our medium-sized nonprofit to easily track donors, acknowledge donations, email donor contacts, assign and record interactions and pull customized reports. Unlike larger, more expensive databases, DonorSnap has a transparent interface which allows real-time customization at every level - for an extremely reasonable price. Not only is it easy to use, but if we ever have a question, online trainings are easy to find in their Help section, live trainings are given regularly, and customer support responds almost immediately.

Cons

The outgoing mass email function is a little clunky, so we usually export contacts to a CRM platform for more customizable email appeals and communications.

Raiser's Edge was too large, complicated and opaque for our small to mid-sized nonprofit.

### "Donor Snap is truly a "snap" for Development Directors and Staff!"

May 1, 2026

5.0

I have been very pleased to use Donor Snap because of the ease in following the steps to run reports or obtain data. Often, in big shops, such as a University setting, the fundraising platform was so challenging (ie, Raisers Edge), that we had separate staff who did all the work for us. Donor Snap was easy from the start and where I was challenged, there were webinars and support to assist me. Excellent platform! I highly recommend it.

Pros

I am truly impressed with the customer service at Donor Snap, as well as the extensive library of webinars and handouts. \[sensitive content hidden\], staff, has been so responsive when I've still had a question and appreciate his service. I've worked in several fundraising programs and Donor Snap is by far the easiest and most efficient platform to use, especially for development staff in one person shops.

Cons

Perhaps the only item I consider least liking is that I often may leave a screen open, but when I go back to it, I have to re-enter Donor Snap; it may be a user error on my part.

### "Cheap, good for small nonprofits"

April 24, 2026

3.0

Overall, for a small nonprofit it is an excellent choice. If you're not processing many donations and don't need a ton of functionality, it is a cheap option that will give you what you need. We moved to a new CRM when we outgrew .

Pros

It was very cheap and could handle the basics and simple CRM tasks. It is customizable enough that you also aren't missing out if you're a small nonprofit.

Cons

It feels and looks old. It is a little clunky sometimes, and there are a few quirks you have to get used to.

### "Good bang for the buck"

April 23, 2026

5.0

Pros

Great and speedy customer support, easy to use, lots of useful tutorials available, and the integration with QuickBooks is a plus. So glad it's user friendly without a ton of complicated keystrokes or steps required.

Cons

Wish it had more features as an all-around CRM, such as event planning and auction management. EventSnap and AuctionSnap add-ons do not quite offer enough functionality.

April 27, 2026

I have consistently had an excellent experience with . I also appreciate the prompt and friendly responses to my inquiries.

Pros

The ability to create custom reports using DataMiner Platinum greatly enhances our ability to retrieve the data we need.

Cons

### "DonorSnap is our Trusted Partner "

April 24, 2026

5.0

Overall, our non-profit is very satisfied with . We have done some testing with the new DS Analytics options and see good potential for the graphics options available in the dashboard.

Pros

The On-Line donations interface with our website works great and we have very few issues with on-line donations getting imported directly into the donor database. The End of Year Contribution Statement processing works very well. We use both the Email option for Contribution statements when we have an email address and the printing option for donors without an email address. The database reporting options have provided our non-profit with a great deal of reporting flexibility and gives us the reports we need and use for managing our donor database.

Cons

The mass email option works, but does not have as much flexibility as we would sometimes prefer when trying to import documents or format a mass email.

### "Thank you!"

April 23, 2026

5.0

The more I am in the system the more I learn about making it work for our organization and best practices.

Pros

The trainings and support team are so valuable to me, I re-watch trainings often to refresh or see what I have missed in order to get the most out of the database. I appreciate when I have any questions about a project the Donor Snap team is always quick to get back to me with actual help. The user-friendly adaptability features for customization make the database extremely useful for our organization.

Cons

That I was in this system for over 2 years before I knew about the Donor Snap Blog! It is very helpful for ongoing learning.

### "LOVE DonorSnap!!!"

April 25, 2026

5.0

Extremely positive. Mark and his team are really great to work with! I have used other donor programs and they can't hold a candle to to 's customer service and support. I used it with another non-for profit and when we started Neighborhood Cats Network and barely had a donor base I told our treasurer we need DonorSnap. 2 years later she is thrilled we signed on because she is able to run many reports she needs for her purposes.

Pros

Easy to use and the customer service is FABULOUS!!! I get my questions answered very quickly. the reports are also great and easy to generate. As a non-for-profit cat rescue our donors are what keeps our organization going and DS makes it so easy to stay on top of the very important acknowledgment letters as well as producing very useful reports.

Cons

Can't think of anything at the moment. there was a learning curve to load in new acknowledgement letters but frankly, the support was amazing!

### "DonorSnap deserves 5 stars!"

April 23, 2026

5.0

Best system to use for our non-profit organization. I could not imagine using a different software that is as easy as this one!

Pros

is very cost-effective and the customer service is top-notch! I get replies via email very quickly and the system itself is easy to use. We are a non-profit and DonorSnap has been a KEY part of keeping our records and finances on track.

Cons

The only thing I could say I liked least about is a few of the restrictions (data-wise). Reports can be difficult to pull and getting detailed causes a challenge. BUT, with DonorSnap Analytics, most of those problems have been resolved!

### "DonorSnap for Donations"

April 23, 2026

4.0

We use almost daily, so a good database is necessary for keeping our records. We would recommend them for those that need something from basic to loaded.

Pros

above all has great customer service. Any issues we have, they are quick to respond. The reports are also easy to run to get quick data.

Cons

Some of the areas of Donosnap can be complex, however, with that said.. they provide training videos and webinars which are always go to.

October 22, 2024

5.0

It's been able to do what I want in terms of queries and set up with great support.

Pros

I find very intuitive to use, and very malleable. When I do have questions DonorSnap has great customer service support.

Cons

There are some technical things, like for soft credit, that could be more automatic.

### "DonorSnap: A Great Product, A Great Price, and A Great Customer Service Team"

February 25, 2022

5.0

We love ! It's user-friendly and easy to train new team members while still providing a level of detail and deeper analysis needed by our executive staff members. DonorSnap meets all of our needs while still being affordable which is a critical necessity for an organization of our size.

Pros

has all of the reporting, tracking, and acknowledgement capabilities that an organization of our size needs. This software is a great return on investment. Setup was easy and customer service is always responsive to any questions we have.

Cons

We would love to see more reporting capabilities to compare campaign success and donor giving across multiple time periods. It would also be great if the email acknowledgments were automatically added as notes and the attachments were added as documents under the individual donor files.

### "Reflections on Donor Snap from a New Director of Advancement"

September 15, 2025

4.0

It has been positive so far and I look forward to continued growth and development of our organization's use of it. I am a 40+year Fund Development professional using both Raiser's Edge (25 years) and Salesforce and I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised with Donor Snap.

Pros

I have only been using it for 11 months as I am new to the organization but I have found it very simple and easy to use. It allows me to customize to my needs. This is important as I have assumed responsibility for a database which needs a considerable amount of maintenance and clean up on our organization's end. It covers the basics and leaves room to grow and I look forward to using more of Donor Snap's capacity. Help Resources are very useaful and user friendly and cover all the basics.

Cons

The design of the database which allows such wide ranging capacity for customization is also one of the draw backs but that is totally the responsibility of the organizations using it. It might be something to think about stressing to new users....document what and why you are doing things. This advice would make it much easier when new staff assume the reins.

### "Excellent CRM tool for our non-profit"

September 22, 2025

5.0

Pros

is a comprehensive CRM that makes it easy for me to track donations, send thank you/tax letters and emails, interactions with donors and patrons- all of the things I need to do to help a non-profit to run smoothly. It automates many tasks that used to take much longer with just excel spreadsheets and similar programs. And it allows a wider range of functions. The customer support provided is outstanding. I send in a question, and a helpful response comes back to me faster than with any other 'help desk' that I've used. I appreciate that we can have multiple team member profiles to be able to maintain this crm. It's an incredibly effective tool for our organization.

Cons

I really don't have any dislikes about it- I started using it just about a year ago, and the trainings available are excellent. And anything I couldn't figure out right away or through a training, customer service has been able to solve for me.

### "DonorSnap - first donor software that I have used!"

September 16, 2025

4.0

Overall, I have had a very good experience with .... thanks for creating a usable software and excellent training tools!

Pros

What do I like ,,,,, I am new to my company and have used for 8 months now - I am the accountant and have never used a donor software before. I find that the training webinars very helpful - easy to find what I needed and they were well thought out. I have also contacted technical support when I couldn't find an answer and they were very professional and helpful.

Cons

What do I like least ...... that is a hard one for me - since I am still learning what can do, I don't have anything specific that I don't like at this point. My next large learning curve will be how to integrate with QuickBooks - which is very important to me.

September 15, 2025

We use every day for inputting donations, reports and yearly appeals. We are ab le to data mine the software to personalize our appeals.

Pros

is a great value for the cost. Everything we need to keep current and report on our donors/donations is right here in the database.

Cons

It would be great if we could personalize the inputting of data a bit more. Not a big deal, but it would be nice.

March 17, 2025

We have had the BEST experiences with customer service! If I need a specific report and am not sure how to go about it, within minutes I get a video tutorial or an email helping me with questions or suggestions on how I am using the program. The program itself is easy to use and intuitive, but it's the customer service that really puts it over the top for me.

Pros

The various ways we can report on and manipulate the data.

Cons

Sometimes it is slow to load when we have multiple users in the database at the same time.

I really like the platform. I've worked with many platforms and this is one of my favorites. I like the easy option of switching up your dashboard. Creating landing pages has great option. Customer support is maybe one of the best I've experienced in donor base platforms.

Cons

The design/graphics of the platform makes it feels outdated but it's not!
