DonorSearch Reviews & Product Details

DonorSearch by EverTrue is the prospect research and predictive intelligence platform built for fundraising teams who need more than a wealth screen. It combines 200 million+ charitable gift records with wealth data and predictive AI scoring to answer the question that matters most: not just who can give, but who's already given, and how likely they are to give again. Scores and intelligence sync directly into your existing CRM, so nothing stands between research and outreach. DonorSearch comes in three products built on that same foundation. DonorSearch Core covers wealth, giving history, and philanthropic indicators. DonorSearch Enhanced Core adds five national predictive models, sold à la carte, for teams going deeper on specific priorities. DonorSearch Ai is two custom models trained on your own organization's giving data, for the sharpest possible read on your donors. Part of the EverTrue philanthropy-first intelligence platform, DonorSearch gives fundraising teams the clarity to know who to prioritize, how to engage them, and what to do next — turning data into real donor connections. Because the causes that matter most can't afford to go without.

"Mandatory Data Mining Service"

5/5

What do you like best about DonorSearch?

Our representative, Steve Fowler is extremely knowledgeable and generous with the information and insights he shares with us. Through his guidance, we are able to prioritize who we visit first with our limited time and resources to extract the maximum donations from donors who actually want to give to our cause. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DonorSearch?

It takes a strong commitment to use the software to its full potential and we struggle to give it the time it deserves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DonorSearch is helping pave the way for our prospecting strategy."

4.5/5

What do you like best about DonorSearch?

I like how easy DonorSearch is to use, especially for someone who is new to the product. I appreciate the overflow of data because you can never have too much when you are prospecting donors.

Additionally, the customizable profiles on what to include/what not to include, the ability to create marketing lists, and the AI Custom Models are all great perks that make DS unique. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DonorSearch?

Like any wealth-screening platform, not all "giving capacity" or "income" or "wealth" is 100% accurate. I do appreciate that DonorSearch provides a data cheatsheet, allowing clients to understand how they source their data and where there may be gaps. This is so useful for the researcher and fundraiser to be successful when prospecting donors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review of Ingrid Tugwell"

5/5

What do you like best about DonorSearch?

Overall, I have had an excellent experience working with DonorSearch over the years where I introduced the tool to approximately five non-profits at this time through my own word of mouth. My initial relationship with Cathy was sustained and that played an important role in building the trust in the relationship. Carrie has continued to steward that initial relationship and Julia our current onboarding specialist has further developed my own skills as well at the small team here at Laboure. In addition to relationship management competencies at DonorSearch, I like the 85% to 100% accuracy of the data. As an economist by training, I am very numbers and data driven and utilizing DonorSearch enables me to engage informed decision making which is crucial for non-profits that are in the early stages of developing a major gifts program that have not completed the required identification and qualification steps within the moves management process.

This specific review however today is for Ingrid Tugwell who swiftly remediated an issue regarding the requested deletion of a previous import file which others have also been accommodating with in the past. I am not a fan of making such requests, nor should they be regular demands but given a quick turnaround that was needed today - as Julia was out of the office today Ingrid remediated the issue swiftly in a professional and understanding manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DonorSearch?

Honestly, over the years I have really never had any major negative feedback on the tool. We will be integrating the DonorSearch results into Raiser's Edge soon and I am curious to see if we are able to add the individual donor profiles into Raiser's Edge under notes as an attachment. If we can't do this, it will be cumbersome for us as we only signed up for an annual subscription but even this would not be a major deal breaker or something we strongly dislike. Thank you.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We appreciate your trust in DonorSearch and your dedication to introducing it to multiple nonprofits. It’s great to hear how Cathy, Carrie, Julia, and Ingrid have supported you along the way—Ingrid will be thrilled to know her quick assistance made a difference!

We’re excited for your Raiser’s Edge integration and would love to hear your feedback. We're excited to continue to support you. Thanks again for being a valued part of the DonorSearch community!
