DonorForge

DonorForge is a nonprofit CRM for managing donor relationships, gifts, campaigns, fundraising operations and bookkeeping. It handles one-time, recurring and pledged gifts, with recurring-card updates, retries for failed charges, installments and reminders. Campaign tools include team fundraising, ticketing, seating reservations and walk-up checkout for events. Bookkeeping features include bank reconciliation through Plaid, profit-and-loss and cash-flow views, and board-ready reports. Listed integrations include Stripe for payments, QuickBooks for financial-data exports and Zapier for connecting to 6,000+ apps. Organizations can connect their own Stripe, Sola or Banquest payment account; DonorForge says it adds no platform fee beyond processing. It offers donor-record imports and says records remain exportable. Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS, and card tokenization is handled by a PCI Service Provider Level 1 vendor. DonorForge says it lacks its own SOC 2 attestation, ISO 27001 certification and HIPAA Business Associate Agreement. A free trial lasts 14 days. Free plans include Starter at free for 1 users and 2 campaigns, and Pro at free for 5 users and 10 campaigns. Paid plans start at $295/mo; Enterprise pricing is custom. Support is by email, with priority response on paid plans.
