Unified constituent database

  • Access data to advise organizational strategies and tactics
  • Save time by eliminating the need for double data entry
  • Ensure your staff and board are equipped with accurate data

Fundraising CRM customization and flexibility

DonorPerfect’s flexibility allows you to easily customize your system and record screens to collect and display data in the way that works best for your staff.

Comprehensive constituent relations management

With features such as relational “household” records, you can cross-reference all your records for family, employer, and other relationships. Soft credits create links between records, so you can understand relationships and gift influencers for better targeting, conversations, and acknowledgements.

Advanced data import tool

Import and update names, mailing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, gifts, codes, and pledges. Advanced logic automatically matches data between your import file and DonorPerfect, even for customized fields.

Advanced batch entry

Enter gifts and pledges in batches to speed up data entry and reduce errors. Tailor your data entry screens for efficiency with the help of templates. Line items include: split gifts, tributes, notifications, matching gifts, applications towards pledges, and soft credits.

User-based security

Control who can access, view, or update data throughout your system, from board members to volunteers. Different levels of access ensure donor data security and help optimize workflows based on organizational roles. Permissions can be added or revoked at any time to reflect board or staffing changes.

Hosted file storage

DonorPerfect provides a full-featured virtual office and filing system. Link documents, spreadsheets, photos, and other important materials to a donor, gift, pledge, or transaction record in DonorPerfect. The file is automatically uploaded and stored on our secure servers and can be accessed anywhere by anyone who is given access rights to the data.

Multi-site advanced security

Specify which records a user can access within your database.

For example, a chapter-based organization may want to set security filters so that a user from the Ohio chapter only sees records where the chapter field = Ohio. Likewise, the Kentucky user only sees chapter = Kentucky. The Midwest regional manager may be granted access to all records from the midwest chapter = Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana, or Michigan, etc.

Application Programming Interface (API)

Extend your ability to integrate your DonorPerfect database with apps and other third-party tools that can enhance your fundraising results and streamline your workflows.

Automatic nightly address refresh

DP Address Updater offers nightly address refreshes against the National Change of Address (NCOA) database to ensure you have the most up-to-date information for your donors. You’ll also get bulk mail discounts through the US Postal Service and demographic information added directly to your donors’ profiles. DP Address Updater is available only in the United States, and free for the first year with a new purchase of DonorPerfect.
