"Powerful research tool that’s helped us connect with top prospects"
5/5
What do you like best about DonorSearch?

DonorSearch gives us a deeper understanding of our donors and prospects. It’s been incredibly helpful in identifying high-net-worth individuals and prioritizing outreach. The wealth screening and charitable giving history have given our development team a huge leg up, and the interface is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DonorSearch?

Integrating DonorSearch with our Salesforce CRM came at a higher cost than expected, which was a bit frustrating. That said, the value it brings to our prospect research efforts made the investment worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hillary Vickers of DonorSearch

Thank you so much for the great review! We’re happy to hear DonorSearch is helping your team connect with top prospects and make more strategic asks. We understand that integration costs can be frustrating, but we’re glad the value of the tool made it worth the investment. If you need any support, feel free to reach out!

"Wonderful software and amazing support!"
5/5
What do you like best about DonorSearch?

The support is top notch. Kristin is always so helpful and Taylor is always checking in with me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DonorSearch?

I can't say much negative about DonorSearch. The only thing is sometimes data isn't accurate but it's still much more accurate than any other vendor I've used at past organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hillary Vickers of DonorSearch

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that DonorSearch is helping you uncover new donors and shape your fundraising strategy. We also appreciate your feedback on data accuracy. We’re always working to make our insights even stronger.

"Best Kept Secret - that I love to share!"
5/5
What do you like best about DonorSearch?

We looked at a lot of software options before settling on DonorSearch. By far the best decision we could have made. For the pricepoint, you get more intel than options that cost significantly more. The quality of the data is timely, current, up-to-date and they've been deep diving for significantly longer than most other options I'm aware of. The fact that it melds seamlessly with our CSR software is an added bonus and the customer service is superb. Completely easy to integrate and use - DonorSearch gets used frequently in our shop by not only our researcher but by major gift officers and other staff looking to dive deeper into a donor or prospect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DonorSearch?

We haven't found anything to dislike. You have to prioritize using it for there to be value - but that's going to be the case with any software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hillary Vickers of DonorSearch

Thank you for your amazing review, Shana! We love that DonorSearch is your "best-kept secret"—and that you’re sharing it! It’s great to hear how our data, seamless integration, and customer service are making a real impact. Prioritizing research is key, and we’re glad DonorSearch helps you gain deeper donor insights. We appreciate you!

"DonorSearch Review"
2.5/5
What do you like best about DonorSearch?

The option to add spouse for a 2 for 1 search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DonorSearch?

I HATE that every time I use the service I have to receive a code in my email to login especially since it times out quickly. When you are working in multiple programs/screens you may not have the DS screen open all the time. It takes too much time to login and stay logged in so I dont use it as often as I use some of my other wealth screening products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hillary Vickers of DonorSearch

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re happy to hear you enjoy features like the spouse search. We know the security steps can sometimes slow things down, but they’re in place to make sure your data stays safe and secure. Your trust means a lot to us, and we’re grateful to have you in the DonorSearch community!

"Donor Search has been beneficial"
4/5
What do you like best about DonorSearch?

I do appreciate the scores (RFM, MLR, ACQ, PGID) that it provides to us. The screening results have been helpful.

I do find the Help section to be robust and usually guides me in the correct direction to answer my question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DonorSearch?

It is frustrating that the information we get in the profiles on giving, etc. is often listed as low quality and it's up to us to determine whether or not it is applicable.

The process for loading the data into Raiser's Edge 7 (this may very well be a Raiser's Edge thing and not a Donor Search thing) took an inordinate amount of time, even when it was loaded straight through the server into RE. I also disliked that the Acquisition Score and Planned Giving scores did not have a load into RE. In the case of Planned Giving, this forces us to compare information from two different systems before sending out correspondence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hillary Vickers of DonorSearch

Thank you so much for the feedback, Andy! We're glad to hear that you find our scores and screening results helpful, and that our Help section has been beneficial! We understand your frustration with the quality of information in the profiles and the process for loading data into Raiser's Edge. We are constantly working to improve the quality of our data and streamline the integration process with Raiser's Edge.
