1. 1

   8.6overall

   Cloud donor management system for nonprofits, priced only by the number of constituent records.

   Best forSmall nonprofits that want a full donor database at a published price

   Adoption data

   11,000Little Green Light says 11,000 nonprofits use its donor management software.

   Little Green Light, Little Green Light: Donor Management Software (2026): “See why 11,000 nonprofits choose Little Green Light.”

   Little Green Light is the simplest donor database to budget for. Its pricing page lists every tier: $45 per month up to 2,500 constituents, $60 up to 5,000, $75 up to 10,000 and $135 up to 50,000, with $15 per month for each extra 10,000 records and a ceiling of 200,000 records per account. Prepaying 12 months takes 10 percent off. Users are unlimited, and the company says every account gets every feature, so a two-person development office and a larger team pay the same for the same list size. Online donations run through LGL forms, which cost nothing to build, with processor fees starting at 2.2% plus $0.30 per transaction. The company reports 11,000 nonprofit customers. The limits are geographic and structural: it is not sold to organizations in the EU, UK or Switzerland, and there is no free tier after the 30-day trial. We compared documented features and published prices on Little Green Light's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Published price table from $45 per month for 2,500 constituents to $135 per month for 50,000
   • +No charge for additional users
   • +First 30 days free with no credit card required

   Limitations

   • −Not offered to organizations in the EU, UK or Switzerland
   • −Price rises with each constituent tier, $15 per month per extra 10,000 records above 50,000
   • −No permanent free plan

   SummaryLittle Green Light is the best choice for small nonprofits because $45 per month buys every feature and unlimited users for up to 2,500 constituents. Organizations in the EU, UK or Switzerland cannot buy it.

2. 2

   Bloomerang

   Giving platform that combines donor CRM, fundraising forms and volunteer management, now including Kindful and Qgiv.

   8.4overall

   Giving platform that combines donor CRM, fundraising forms and volunteer management, now including Kindful and Qgiv.

   Best forMid-size nonprofits focused on donor retention

   Adoption data

   13,000Bloomerang says it was working with more than 13,000 customers by 2022, its tenth year; it acquired Qgiv in 2024.

   Bloomerang, About Bloomerang (2022): “2022 Bloomerang celebrated 10 years of helping move missions forward and working with more than 13,000 customers.”

   Bloomerang built its reputation on donor retention, and its Giving Platform now combines the CRM, online fundraising and volunteer management in one contract. Pricing is annual and based on constituent count with unlimited users, and the company says its proposals include training and onboarding with no add-on charges for core features. Data hygiene is a strength: Bloomerang runs nightly NCOA updates, suppresses deceased donors and flags duplicates. Newer AI features include Prospect AI and predictive donor insights that surface donors likely to upgrade or lapse. Custom fields cover moves management, wealth screening and assigned major gift portfolios. Its about page says it passed 13,000 customers in 2022, then acquired InitLive in 2023 and Qgiv in 2024; Kindful is also now a Bloomerang product. The trade-off is transparency: the pricing page asks you to request a quote rather than listing any figures. We compared documented features and published claims on Bloomerang's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Proposals include fundraising tools, CRM, volunteer management, training and onboarding
   • +Support by phone, email and live chat
   • +Data exports available at any time

   Limitations

   • −No published prices; every plan is quoted
   • −Annual contracts only
   • −Newest customer count on its site dates from 2022

   SummaryBloomerang is the best choice for mid-size nonprofits that want retention tools in one contract because it bundles CRM, fundraising and volunteer management with unlimited users. Budget time for a sales call, since pricing is quote only.

3. 3

   Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud

   Salesforce's CRM editions for nonprofits, with a nonprofit data model for fundraising, programs and grants.

   8.3overall

   Salesforce's CRM editions for nonprofits, with a nonprofit data model for fundraising, programs and grants.

   Best forGrowing nonprofits with an admin or implementation partner

   Adoption data

   60,000Salesforce says more than 60,000 nonprofits use its products.

   Salesforce, Salesforce for Nonprofits (2026): “Over 60,000 Nonprofits trust Salesforce with their mission”

   Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud is the most widely used CRM in this group, with Salesforce saying more than 60,000 nonprofits use its products. The pricing page is unusually clear for an enterprise vendor: Nonprofit Cloud Sales & Service Core costs $70 per user per month billed annually and includes the Nonprofit Data Model, Nonprofit Toolkit and an Accounting Subledger; Advanced costs $125 and adds sandbox, backup, archive and Security Center; the Max editions cost $285. Through the Power of Us program, eligible nonprofits receive 10 Nonprofit Cloud licenses at no cost, which is enough for many small development teams. The catch is that Salesforce is a platform rather than a ready-made donor database. Every staff user needs a license, and getting gift entry, receipting and reports set up typically takes an in-house admin or a paid partner. Organizations without that capacity will find Little Green Light or Bloomerang faster to run. We compared documented features and published prices on Salesforce's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Power of Us program gives eligible nonprofits 10 licenses at no cost
   • +Published US prices per edition: $70, $125 and $285 per user per month
   • +Same functionality as commercial Salesforce, at nonprofit discounts

   Limitations

   • −Every staff member who uses it needs a license
   • −Paid editions are billed annually per user
   • −Setup usually needs a Salesforce admin or partner

   SummarySalesforce Nonprofit Cloud is the best choice for nonprofits with an admin or partner because eligible organizations get 10 licenses at no cost. Small teams without technical help should pick a ready-made donor database.

4. 4

   Neon CRM

   Donor management CRM from Neon One with fundraising forms, grants, email and a donor portal.

   8.2overall

   Donor management CRM from Neon One with fundraising forms, grants, email and a donor portal.

   Best forSmall and mid-size nonprofits that want grants and email in the CRM

   Adoption data

   7,000+Neon One reports 7,000+ nonprofit customers across its products.

   Neon One, Neon One Pricing (2026): “7,000+ nonprofit customers”

   Neon CRM is the core product of Neon One, which reports 7,000+ nonprofit customers. Its pricing page lists a starting price of $99 per month and spells out what that covers: donor management with supporter profiles and dashboards, automated workflows, grant management, campaigns and forms, peer-to-peer, recurring gifts and donor-advised fund giving, payment processing, email marketing, text messaging, automated stewardship sequences and a donor portal. Support by live chat, email and phone is included. That makes it one of the broader packages at a published price, especially for organizations that track grants alongside individual gifts. Costs grow with modules: Neon Websites starts at $69 per month and Neon Fundraise, for peer-to-peer and endurance events, at $158 per month. Ticketing for performing arts is a separate product, Arts People. There is no free tier. We compared documented features and published prices on Neon One's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Published starting price of $99 per month
   • +Live chat, email and phone support included free
   • +Grant management built into the CRM

   Limitations

   • −Websites, peer-to-peer events and ticketing are separate products
   • −Neon Fundraise adds $158 per month
   • −No free plan or published trial

   SummaryNeon CRM is the best choice for nonprofits that track grants and individual gifts together because grant management and email marketing are part of the $99 per month CRM. Add-on modules raise the total quickly.

   Givebutter

   Fundraising platform with donation forms, events, auctions and a built-in donor CRM.

   8.1overall

   Fundraising platform with donation forms, events, auctions and a built-in donor CRM.

   Best forSmall nonprofits that raise mostly online and want a free start

   Adoption data

   $300M+Givebutter says it has powered more than $300 million in donations; it does not publish a count of nonprofit customers.

   Givebutter, About Givebutter (2026): “Givebutter powers $300M+ in donations for millions of Changemakers worldwide.”

   Givebutter is the cheapest way on this list to get donation forms and a donor CRM in the same place. The free plan covers custom-branded donation forms, campaign pages, virtual and in-person events, silent auctions, a central contact and transaction hub, email with analytics and 24/7 support. Nonprofits pay no platform fees when donor tips are enabled; when tips are off, card processing is 2.9% plus 30 cents. Givebutter Plus starts at $29 per month billed annually, or $348 per year, for 250 contacts or fewer, and adds automated workflows, task management, ready-made reports, contact verification and address cleanup, QuickBooks Online sync, texting and priority phone support. It can be tried for 30 days. The company says it has powered more than $300 million in donations but does not publish a customer count. Givebutter is lighter than a dedicated donor database on moves management and major gift tracking. We compared documented features and published prices on Givebutter's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Permanent free plan; no platform fee when donor tips are enabled
   • +Plus can be tested for 30 days before committing
   • +24/7 live chat and email support on every plan

   Limitations

   • −Plus price rises with contact count above 250
   • −Standard card processing of 2.9% + 30 cents applies when tips are turned off
   • −Relies on donor tips to keep the free plan free

   SummaryGivebutter is the best choice for small nonprofits on a tight budget because its free plan includes donation forms, events and a donor CRM. Major gift teams will want a fuller database.

   Donorbox

   Online donation platform with recurring giving, peer-to-peer, ticketing and a nonprofit CRM.

   8.0overall

   Online donation platform with recurring giving, peer-to-peer, ticketing and a nonprofit CRM.

   Best forNonprofits that want online giving first and a CRM alongside it

   Adoption data

   100,000Donorbox says 100,000 nonprofit organizations use it for fundraising.

   Donorbox, Donorbox Pricing (2026): “Join 100,000 nonprofit organizations who power their fundraising with Donorbox.”

   Donorbox approaches donor management from the giving side. Its free Standard plan includes unlimited donation forms and pages, crowdfunding, peer-to-peer campaigns, event ticketing and reporting, with combined platform and processing fees between 2.95% and 3.95%. The Pro plan at $150 per month cuts fees to between 1.75% and 2% and adds advanced form customization, tracking, receipt whitelabeling, Zapier and API access, crypto and stock gifts, recurring donation upsells and DAFpay. Premium is quoted and adds priority support, a customer success manager and migration of recurring donors. Donorbox CRM is available to customers on all three plans, so gift records and donor profiles live next to the forms that produce them. The company says 100,000 nonprofit organizations use it. It is a good fit for organizations whose gifts are mostly online; teams running major gift portfolios or grant pipelines will find more depth in a dedicated donor database. We compared documented features and published prices on Donorbox's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Free Standard plan with no monthly fee
   • +Pro lowers fees to between 1.75% and 2%
   • +Donors can cover processing fees at checkout

   Limitations

   • −Free plan carries fees between 2.95% and 3.95%
   • −Pro costs $150 per month
   • −Kiosk hardware and software billed separately

   SummaryDonorbox is the best choice for nonprofits whose gifts are mostly online because its free plan includes unlimited forms and the Donorbox CRM. Pro at $150 per month pays off once fee savings exceed the subscription.

   Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT

   Blackbaud's flagship fundraising and relationship management system for established development teams.

   7.8overall

   Blackbaud's flagship fundraising and relationship management system for established development teams.

   Best forMid-sized to large nonprofits with major gift programs

   Adoption data

   100+Blackbaud's 2025 annual report says it supports users in more than 100 countries; it does not publish a Raiser's Edge NXT customer count.

   Blackbaud, Inc. (SEC Form 10-K), Blackbaud, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025 (2025): “We have operations in the United States, Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, India and the United Kingdom, supporting users in 100+ countries.”

   Raiser's Edge NXT is Blackbaud's flagship fundraising and relationship management product, and Blackbaud's own FAQ says it is best for mid-sized to large nonprofits that rely on relationship-based fundraising. The feature set reflects that: gift processing for everything from a $25 gift to a multi-year pledge, Prospect Insights to rank major gift candidates, moves management stages from identification to stewardship, Workflow Designer for multi-step outreach, and email, events and membership inside the donor record. AI tools include Chat for Blackbaud AI, which drafts donor summaries, and Agents for Good for outreach follow-up. Blackbaud's 2025 Form 10-K says more than half of Raiser's Edge NXT customers have adopted its machine learning prospect features and that the company supports users in 100+ countries. Pricing is not published. For a small office that mainly needs gift entry and receipts, this is more system than required. We compared documented features on Blackbaud's pages and filings and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Moves management stages from identification to stewardship
   • +Chat for Blackbaud AI drafts donor summaries and talking points
   • +Scales from regional nonprofits to large institutions

   Limitations

   • −No published pricing
   • −Blackbaud positions it for mid-sized to large nonprofits
   • −More than a small team needs for basic gift tracking

   SummaryRaiser's Edge NXT is the best choice for established major gift programs because it combines Prospect Insights, moves management and gift processing in one record. Small nonprofits will pay for depth they do not use.

8. 8

   Virtuous

   Fundraising platform built around CRM+, with donation forms, an AI gift officer assistant, volunteer tools and donor insights.

   7.1overall

   Fundraising platform built around CRM+, with donation forms, an AI gift officer assistant, volunteer tools and donor insights.

   Best forMid-size nonprofits building a relationship-based giving program

   Virtuous sells a platform centered on CRM+, which covers donor and pipeline management, workflow and donor path automation, marketing and communications, and unlimited users. Around it sit separate products: Raise for donation forms and landing pages, Momentum, an AI agent that gives major and mid-level gift officers a prioritized donor inbox and logs activity to the CRM automatically, Volunteer for onboarding and scheduling, and Insights, which adds first- and third-party donor data and predictive machine learning. The pricing page splits the offer into a Platform plan for nonprofits with fundraising revenue up to $5 million and an Enterprise plan above that, but every plan and module shows a request pricing button instead of a figure. Virtuous does not publish a customer count, which is why it scores lower on adoption here. It suits organizations investing in personal donor relationships and willing to buy several modules. We compared documented features on Virtuous's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Platform tier designed for nonprofits with up to $5 million in fundraising revenue
   • +Unlimited users in CRM+
   • +Insights add first- and third-party donor data with predictive machine learning

   Limitations

   • −Every tier and module is priced on request
   • −No published customer count
   • −Several capabilities (Raise, Momentum, Insights, Volunteer) are separate products

   SummaryVirtuous is the best choice for mid-size nonprofits building gift officer portfolios because Momentum turns CRM data into a prioritized donor inbox. Expect to request quotes for each module.

   Keela

   Fundraising CRM for nonprofits with donor and volunteer management, email marketing and donation forms.

   7.0overall

   Fundraising CRM for nonprofits with donor and volunteer management, email marketing and donation forms.

   Best forSmall nonprofits that want email marketing inside the donor CRM

   Keela is a fundraising CRM that bundles donor and volunteer management, membership management, project management, email marketing, reporting and automation into every plan. Pricing is set by contact band: up to 1,000 contacts starts at $164 per month billed annually or $190 billed monthly, and the 2,501 to 5,000 band starts at $316 annually; organizations above 10,000 contacts get custom quotes. All plans include unlimited emails and templates, unlimited donation forms, automatic and compliant tax receipts, integrations and no Keela transaction fees. Standard Care covers unlimited email support, a knowledge base and training videos, while live chat and scheduled phone support require Premium Care from $200 per month. Pipelines, texting and wealth screening are extra. Keela does not publish a customer count, so its adoption score is conservative. For a small organization, it costs more than Little Green Light or Givebutter at the same list size, but it removes the need for a separate email tool. We compared documented features and published prices on Keela's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Every plan includes email marketing, reporting and automation
   • +Saves up to 23% with annual billing
   • +Unlimited email support and online training included

   Limitations

   • −Starts at $164 per month, above several rivals for the same list size
   • −Live chat and phone support need Premium Care from $200 per month
