Donor CRM
DonorDock
DonorDock is a donor CRM aimed at the smallest development shops, often a shop of one. Its signature ActionBoard is a guided daily feed: which donor to thank, call, or follow up with today. Pricing starts around $98 a month billed annually with unlimited contacts, and there’s a 90-day money-back guarantee.
Who it fits
The one-person development office. For most small shops the database isn’t the hard part; remembering to work it is. DonorDock behaves like a task list, and for a stretched ED juggling grants, events, and thank-yous, that design shows up as donors who don’t slip.
Pricing
| Tier | Monthly (annual billing) |
|---|---|
| Entry | ~$98 |
| Grow | ~$300 |
| Amplify | ~$585 |
All tiers include unlimited contacts. Organizations under $300k in revenue can ask about reduced pricing, and readers get 10% off through this site’s referral link.
How it compares
Little Green Light is cheaper for small lists and more flexible; DonorDock is more guided and more modern. Bloomerang has deeper retention analytics for growing teams. The dividing line is temperament: pick DonorDock if you want the software to drive the habit.
Bottom line
The 90-day guarantee makes this the lowest-risk trial in the category. Start with DonorDock, live in the ActionBoard for a month, and see whether your follow-up rate moves. If it does, that habit is worth far more than the subscription.
