DonorSearch

What DonorSearch does

DonorSearch, legally operated as Tedesco and Affiliates, LLC and founded in 2007, is a SaaS provider of AI-powered donor prospect research and wealth screening tools for nonprofit fundraising organizations in the United States. The company's core technology combines a proprietary philanthropic database containing more than one billion data points (updated weekly, with a stated 90%+ accuracy rate) with machine learning models that synthesize 800+ structured data points into custom predictive scores across six dimensions: Most Likely to Respond, Sustainer probability, Acquisition potential, Retention, Upgrade, and Lifetime Value. Its product surface spans DonorSearch Ai (full custom predictive modeling), Enhanced CORE (point-and-click lite modeling for non-technical users), ProspectView Online 2 (generative AI-produced individual prospect reports), Most Likely to Respond scoring, philanthropic and wealth screening, a developer API, and marketing list services. DonorSearch integrates with more than 40 CRM and fundraising platforms including Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT and DonorPerfect, embedding its data and scores inside customer workflows.

Revenue is generated through subscription SaaS contracts offered on 12-, 24-, or 36-month terms with credit card or invoice billing, plus month-to-month auto-renewal at potentially up to 15% annual price increases; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company serves approximately 13,000-15,000 nonprofits across verticals including healthcare (e.g., Boston Children's Hospital, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia), higher education (University of Colorado Boulder, Michigan State, NC State), arts and culture (Smithsonian, National Baseball Hall of Fame), faith-based, environmental (The Nature Conservancy, Trust for Public Land), and independent schools, with go-to-market executed through enterprise field sales and inside sales motions offering personalized demos within 24 hours of inquiry.

In September 2025, DonorSearch was acquired by EverTrue, a strategic operating company in the nonprofit engagement space; DonorSearch continues to operate under its own brand alongside EverTrue's pipeline development platform, while maintaining SOC2 compliance and CCPA-aligned privacy practices with US-based data storage.

Direct peers

• iWave (now Kindsight): iWave (rebranded as Kindsight) is the closest direct competitor to DonorSearch, offering wealth and philanthropic screening, prospect research, and AI-driven scoring tailored to nonprofits, healthcare, and higher-ed fundraising teams — the same buyer and use case as DonorSearch.
• WealthEngine: WealthEngine provides wealth screening and prospect research for nonprofits and is explicitly named by DonorSearch on its comparison page as a direct competitor, offering overlapping AI scoring and data append capabilities.
• Windfall: Windfall delivers data-driven wealth and giving intelligence for nonprofits, universities, and healthcare fundraisers; it is one of DonorSearch's three named comparison targets and competes head-to-head on prospect prioritization.
• EverTrue: EverTrue, DonorSearch's acquirer as of September 2025, is a donor engagement and pipeline development platform primarily serving higher education and nonprofits — comparable offerings, customer base, and category, and now the parent that shapes DonorSearch's roadmap.

Broad incumbents

• Blackbaud: Blackbaud is the dominant nonprofit software incumbent (Raiser's Edge NXT, Blackbaud CRM) and bundles wealth screening, analytics, and prospect research through its Target Analytics and Intelligence products, overlapping with DonorSearch's screening and predictive modeling functionality at an enterprise scale.

• Givebutter: Givebutter is an online giving, CRM, and donor engagement platform for nonprofits with growing built-in donor intelligence features, addressing the same small-to-mid nonprofit fundraising buyer as DonorSearch's lower tiers.
