Overview

DonorPerfect is a cloud-based donor management and fundraising CRM built by SofterWare, Inc., a privately held company that has focused on nonprofit software since 1981. It is aimed at nonprofits of all sizes, from small grassroots organizations to large multi-chapter charities, and the vendor reports serving more than 11,000 nonprofit organizations and 75,000+ fundraising professionals.

The product centralizes donor records, gift and pledge tracking, online and offline donation processing, event and volunteer management, and reporting in one system. Every subscription tier bundles Constant Contact email marketing, and higher tiers add moves management, batch gift entry, enterprise direct-mail segmentation, and custom API access. A companion DP Mobile app supports on-site donation capture and donor lookup at events.

DonorPerfect connects to accounting systems through prebuilt QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop integrations included with most plans, and through Sage Intacct Fundraising powered by DonorPerfect, a data connector that moves donor and transaction records from DonorPerfect into Sage Intacct for organizations running that financial platform. Additional partner integrations cover payment processing, auctions and events, prospect research, and volunteer management.

What does DonorPerfect cost?

DonorPerfect prices by quote, like most of this category. Here is what actually drives your number — and what to ask before you get one.

Licence basis — ask whether you are billed per named user, per active user, or per entity — the same headline rate can differ several-fold between them.
Implementation — ask for the one-off setup, data-migration and configuration fee as a separate line from the subscription.
ERP integration — ask whether the connector for your ERP is included, a paid add-on, or custom work quoted per interface.
Contract term & uplift — ask for the annual uplift cap in writing; an uncapped renewal is where multi-year savings disappear.
What is not included — ask which features sit in a higher tier — sandbox environments, SSO, audit logs and API access are common upsells.
