DP has been a critical move for managing our donations

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.

We purchased DonorPerfect to replace a DMS program we initiated in 2020. From initial contact, through follow up conversations and subsequent purchase, tutorials, Onboarding and follow ups, the entire process has been straightforward, even for someone who like myself is not tech savvy.
Pros
One stop shopping for complete donor and donation management, as well as QuickBooks and Constant Contact integration, allowing for ROI tracking on fundraising campaigns, PLUS Onboarding assistance through scheduled zoom calls and pre-recorded tutorials. Great support.
Cons
I have nothing but praise for DonorPerfect.

Good features, but lacks smooth user experience. Only viable for full time users who can learn non-intuitive processes. Overall was one of our worst decisions. So expensive to roll out, yet we may give up and go back to our old software.
Pros
It does have strong features and integrates well once you figure it out.
Cons
We had 2 people quit because they hate the system. It basically caused a coup because the staff hated it so much due to the lack of simple controls. Want to see a list of donors? 7 clicks to generate a special report which you need to view in Excel. Want a list of donations? Likewise, 6 clicks through completely non-intuitive menus. How do you not have a 'donors' and 'donations' button on a donation database? These 'report generators' are 1990's tech, and it's driving us crazy.
It's got all the features, but feels so piecemeal - each function is a different app, and not all talk to each other.

Overall, DonorPerfect is a great program. Their online training videos, both live and recorded are very helpful for the new user (which I am). Their Knowledge Base articles provide step by step instructions for practically anything you want to accomplish within the database.
Pros
DonorPerfect has a robust Events Management component. We are in the beginning stages of promoting and taking donations for our upcoming Gala. There are great features that help track sponsorships, create guest tables, etc. This is more comprehensive than the previous software we used.
Cons
Currently, only the Classic Forms can be used to capture online gifts for Events. I wish that the Online Form Builder was available to use because it has a more contemporary feel to the design and is really easy to use.
I wish the fee for the phone support was a little less expensive. As a small non-profit, every penny counts. However, as a fairly new user and a one person development office, I don't know what I would do without the excellent support.

"My overall experience with DonorPerfect has been very positive. The software provides all the essential tools that a nonprofit needs to efficiently manage donations, track donor activity, and generate detailed reports. It’s intuitive and easy to use, even for someone new to nonprofit software. The customer support and resources are top-notch, making it easier to get started and resolve any questions. Although the pricing may be a bit higher for small organizations, the value it offers in terms of features and support makes it a great investment for nonprofits aiming for long-term growth."
Pros
"What I liked most about DonorPerfect is how user-friendly and customizable it is. As someone setting up a nonprofit, I found the donor management features incredibly helpful for tracking donations and building strong relationships with supporters. The detailed reporting tools make it easy to analyze data and plan effectively. I also appreciate the excellent customer support and training resources, which are perfect for someone new to nonprofit software."
Cons
"One area that could be improved is the pricing structure, as it may be a bit on the higher end for small nonprofits just getting started. Additionally, while the software is quite powerful, it can take a bit of time to fully explore and learn all of its features, which might be overwhelming for new users without prior experience with similar tools."

I am still learning the platform and working to understand everything I can use it for, but every time I go on it and every time I speak with a support agent I gain a better understanding. It is great to have a platform to keep all donor information in one place and which can also search all your records according to what you need.
Pros
I love that the customer support is always available and willing to assist. With so many ways to pull information, I sometimes struggled to find the reports with the information I needed. Support helped me to not only find this information but understand how I can find it myself. I now feel a lot more confident in my understanding of the platform. I also appreciate the forms feature as it makes fundraising simple and is user friendly, both to me creating the form and to donors using it.
Cons
I feel for new users there is a big learning curve to understanding how to use the platform and how to pull the right information. There is so much available to you that it can be confusing. There are also filter elements that are not named clearly or extra boxes to check that can change the results you get.

I have been using Donor Perfect for years. When I first started it was quite a learning curb since I was less experienced in working with CRMs. However, the longer I've worked with Donor Perfect, the more knowledgeable I have become about CRMs in general.
Pros
I like the customizability of Donor Perfect. You can add fields for anything you want to track or information you need to collect. I also love the customer support. They have the best customer service I've ever experienced and their representatives are knowledgeable. I always know that my problem will be solved when I reach out for help.
Cons
I do not like the events section. I've used other software that is more robust.

The platform’s integration with other tools (like QuickBooks and email marketing systems) has streamlined our workflow, saving time and reducing manual entry errors. Customer support has been responsive and knowledgeable, helping us get the most out of the platform.
Overall, DonorPerfect has become an essential part of our fundraising and donor engagement strategy. It’s an excellent choice for any organization looking to deepen its relationship with donors and improve operational efficiency.
Pros
One of the best features of DonorPerfect is its comprehensive reporting and analytics. The ability to generate detailed, insightful reports on donor engagement, giving trends, and campaign effectiveness has been invaluable in shaping our strategy and ensuring we're making data-driven decisions. It’s also incredibly efficient at tracking donor communications, which helps build and maintain long-lasting relationships.
Cons
One drawback we’ve noticed with DonorPerfect is that the customization options, while powerful, can sometimes feel overwhelming. Setting up custom reports or fields requires a learning curve, and it might take new users some time to navigate all the options effectively.

After only a month of using DonorPerfect, we are still finding additional features that will help in our fundraising efforts. Overall, our experience with DonorPerfect has been excellent. By using DonorPerfect, all of our system platforms are integrated in one place and all donor interactions is recorded within the system. We also can see that DonorPerfect will be helpful in time management.
Pros
Our reason for switching to DonorPerfect is that is has helped us move all our components for fundraising into one product. By using DonorPerfect, all of our system platforms are integrated in one place and records all donor interaction within the system. Previously, our email & text communications were not recorded in the donor system. We also like the "scheduled donor outreach" which appears on the Home screen. Using Donor Perfect has removed the duplicate entry of data which saves time and reduces data entry error.
Cons
Using the Chat Feature sometimes takes awhile before someone logs into the chat to help us. In addition, because of the difference in time zones, we find that the window of time for us to receive help can be challenging. However, with that said, the DonorPerfect team has been helpful in resolving any issues we are having as we learn the system. The Receipting function feels a bit "clunky" at times but we are learning to work within the system.
Reasons for Choosing DonorPerfect
We switched donor management systems because we wanted a product that would integrate all of our fundraising systems (email, text, wealth screening, etc.)Reasons for Switching to DonorPerfect
We chose DonorPerfect because of pricing and functionality.- Industry: Nonprofit Organization Management

Again, their Customer Support is the best I have ever experienced with a software solution. They are responsive and teach you "how to fish" instead of "fishing" for you.
Pros
DonorPerfect offers an easy-to-set-up solution for our needs in Alumni/Parent/Donor CRM, online campaign forms with multiple payment options that are efficient, and donor contribution tracking and reporting. The system is easy to use and provides the functionality to create additional fields to meet our needs. Customer Support is AMAZING!
Cons
They need to add improved functionality around Capital Campaign processing and reporting. They do have a mechanism to submit ideas to improve the product but sometimes you have to wait for other users to raise the same issue before it makes its way into the product. It would also be great if we could set up an automated integration to update our data records when there are changes in address, phone number, and email in our schools' CRM so we do not have to update the records manually and can be assured that both systems are in sync.

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.

I have been pleased with my experience of DonorPerfect.
Pros
DonorPerfect is a powerful, cost-effective donation management platform with robust reporting and integrated gift and pledge payment processing. The community knowledgebase is an excellent resource that facilitates rapid upleveling and self-learning. However, my favorite aspect of DonorPerfect is the exceptional quality of customer support. Whenever I've encountered a roadblock or limitation, their team has responded with incredible competence. I am consistently impressed with their product knowledge, efficiency, honesty, and persistence; in cases where my queries have resulted from user error, their team is always respectful and helps us understand where these originate. It takes almost no time to speak to a person.
Cons
The user interface of the dashboard can be a little clunky and outdated.

Cost is minimal compared to the previous NFP of a program with a price tag of $17,000 annually. They have a fantastic support team. Patient, knowledgeable, and fast chat support. Implementation exception. Webinar videos explain it all. Capable of starting from scratch or importing. We started from scratch and have built a donor database of over 1,000 in less than a month.

DonorPerfect is great for non profit organizations
Reviewed on 28/03/2024
Pros
I love the ability to keep track of our donors and all the information we can keep for them. Being able to import and export donations from other giving platforms has been a huge time and money saver. I enjoy the availability of the DonorPerfect team members and their knowledge of the program, to help me with any questions I may have.
Cons
The price. I wish they had tiers for the amount of donors you have in your system, it seems we are continually having to pay more because we have "outgrown" the tier of donors in our system. I also find that running reports can sometimes be very complicated with all the filters and settings, but once you get the hang of it...it is very useful.

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.
