One of the most common inquiries we receive at NTEN goes something like this: “I work at a nonprofit, and I think we need a new database, but when I looked online, there were just too many to choose from. Can you tell me which one you recommend?”
NTEN does not recommend individual technology products, but it would also be impossible for us to make a recommendation without knowing so many of the factors that are critical for influencing that choice, including staff and constituent needs, existing systems and integrations, program and engagement models, and much more. Instead, we want to support equitable and strategic technology decisions, whether for donor management software or anything else. This is why we are happy to partner on the 2026 Donor Management Software Report and help distribute the findings and insights to the sector.
This report surveys 263 nonprofits and details the broad patterns that emerge in their use and satisfaction of donor management software. We thank our partner Karen Graham Consulting for their great work in developing this resource.
