Donor-Management Software Comparison
Evaluate products based on your donor-management needs
May 29, 2009
With so many donor-management software packages out there, it can be difficult to keep track of the tools and features offered by each. To help you stay organized, here is a side-by-side comparison of features offered by some of these programs. Use this downloadable spreadsheet to compare the features of some donor-management products you may be considering for your organization. Please be aware that while many of the products in this guide may appear to meet your organization's donor-management needs, it is advisable to request a working demo for several products so that you can evaluate the software on your own. Most vendors offer demo versions of their software, either on their website or by request, which allow you to enter information and even run sample reports.
Editor’s note: The information on this donor-management software comparison chart is no longer updated. If you have specific questions or comments about programs or features listed, post them in our Technology for Fundraising forum. For more information on donor management check out:

I have used this comparison chart several times and find it an extremely valuable tool. Thank you, TechSoup, for making this available and saving us valuable time.
Andrew, Are you saying that you are a foundation or that you are looking to track other foundations? My bet is that most donor management software can substitute labels without much fuss. Maybe I am missing something here, though. Have you asked this...
I have been searching this site and the web for comparisons of databases used to track and plan foundation development. All the reviews I am finding seem to focus on individual donors, small or large. Is there a different name for product...
Jon, Just a little background - I joined up with DonorTools after my experience with it with these and other organizations I was working with and after this comment. With the timeline and that events that have transpired since I can see how it ...
Chris, aren't you a co-founder of Donor Tools? Maybe just note this directly instead of talking about representing an outside nonprofit using your services?
