Nonprofits are raising more with less effort
Don't take our word for it. Here's what nonprofit directors are saying after switching to DonorBooks.
"We switched from our old platform after a donor called us upset about being asked to tip. DonorBooks respects our donors. Our conversion rate went up 40% in the first month."

Executive Director · Youth Services
"The AI Campaign Wizard is unreal. I answered 5 questions and had a fully written campaign with a beautiful image in under 4 minutes. I've never launched a campaign that fast."

"Our silent auction raised $47,000 last fall. The real-time bidding worked flawlessly and the donor checkout was so smooth. We'll never go back to paper bid sheets."
