DonorForge
What it is
DonorForge is a nonprofit CRM for managing donor relationships, gifts, campaigns, fundraising operations, and bookkeeping in one service. It supports one-time, recurring, and pledged gifts, with recurring-card updates, failed-charge retries, installments, and reminders. Campaign tools cover team fundraising, event ticketing, seating reservations, and walk-up checkout. Fundraising bookkeeping includes Plaid bank reconciliation, profit-and-loss and cash-flow views, and reports prepared for boards. Integrations listed include Stripe, QuickBooks exports, and Zapier connections to more than 6,000 apps. Organizations can connect their own Stripe, Sola, or Banquest account, and DonorForge says it adds no platform fee beyond processing. The web and API product offers online donation forms, automated receipts, and donor segmentation. A free plan and 14-day trial are available; paid plans start at $295/mo. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with card tokenization from a PCI Service Provider Level 1 vendor.
