Best CRM for nonprofits
Nonprofit donor management prices differently than business CRM: by record count or bundled products, not seats. Compared on what's actually included at each price.
Little Green Light wins for a nonprofit that wants unlimited users and every feature included at every tier, priced only by how many constituent records you have. Bloomerang wins instead for a larger nonprofit that wants major-gift pipeline tracking and is willing to bundle CRM, fundraising and volunteer management as separate products.
The short answer
- Little Green Light starts at $45/month for up to 2,500 records, scaling up to $135/month at 50,000 records, with unlimited users and the full feature set at every tier, per littlegreenlight.com/pricing.
- Bloomerang's CRM is $125/month on its own; Fundraising is $40/month but requires bundling with CRM, and its all-in-one Giving Platform bundle is $242/month, all billed annually, per bloomerang.com/pricing.
- DonorPerfect starts at $99/month (Core), with moves management, batch gift entry and QuickBooks integration added at its Plus tier, and custom API access reserved for Pro, per donorperfect.com/pricing.
Nonprofit donor CRM tools compared
| Tool | Starting price | Pricing model | Cold outbound allowed? | Own database? | Pipeline/moves management? | Best for | Not for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Little Green Light | $45/mo (up to 2,500 records) | By constituent record count, unlimited users at every tier | Not built for it | No, hosted multi-tenant SaaS | Full donor management at every tier; no distinct 'moves management' term used | A nonprofit wanting every feature included regardless of tier, priced only by donor count | A large nonprofit whose record count pushes well past the highest published tier |
| Bloomerang | $125/mo (CRM only) | Per product, bundle available | Not built for it | No, hosted multi-tenant SaaS | Major-gift pipeline and automated donor journeys described as core CRM features | A larger nonprofit wanting major-gift tracking and willing to pay for a full bundle | A small nonprofit wanting one low price covering fundraising and volunteers together |
| DonorPerfect | $99/mo (Core) | Per tier (Core, Plus, Pro) | Not built for it | No, hosted multi-tenant SaaS | Moves management, batch gift entry and automated alerts on Plus tier, not Core | A nonprofit wanting email marketing and payment processing bundled in from the entry tier | A nonprofit wanting moves management without upgrading past Core |

How each one fits a nonprofit
Little Green Light
Prices by constituent record count only, with unlimited users and the same full feature set at every tier, from $45/month at 2,500 records up through 200,000 records at the top tier. Online donation processing costs 2.2% plus $0.30 per transaction, passed through to the processor with no added LGL fee. Not for: a nonprofit that has outgrown the top record tier.
Bloomerang
Sells CRM, Fundraising and Volunteer as separate products, or bundled as The Giving Platform, with donation forms, event management, text fundraising, peer-to-peer campaigns and major-gift and grant tracking. Cost adds up quickly if a nonprofit needs all three products rather than the bundle. Not for: a small nonprofit on a tight budget wanting one low all-in price.
DonorPerfect
Bundles a donor management system with Constant Contact email marketing, online donation forms and payment processing from its cheapest Core tier. Moves management, QuickBooks integration and batch gift entry require upgrading to Plus. Not for: a nonprofit specifically needing moves management without paying for the Plus tier.
When none of these is the answer
A brand-new nonprofit with a small circle of known donors and no grant pipeline doesn't need dedicated donor software yet. A spreadsheet for tracking gifts and a simple thank-you process covers that stage, and the monthly cost of these tools pays off once donor count or fundraising complexity makes manual tracking slow.
Disclosure: SalesCrew is our product. It has no donation processing, no grant tracking and no donor-specific reporting, so it doesn't replace any tool in this list for running fundraising operations. It also isn't built for nonprofit-specific needs like tax receipts or peer-to-peer campaigns at all, which is why it isn't ranked above; a nonprofit's core workflow needs a purpose-built donor CRM, not a general sales pipeline tool.
Questions
- Why do these nonprofit CRMs price by donor count instead of seats?
- Little Green Light prices purely by constituent record count, with unlimited users at every tier, because a nonprofit's cost driver is usually the size of its donor base, not how many staff need access. Bloomerang and DonorPerfect price by product and tier rather than a flat per-record rate, but neither charges per seat the way a typical business CRM does.
- What's the cheapest way to get a real donor CRM?
- Little Green Light starts at $45/month for up to 2,500 constituent records, with every plan including the same full feature set regardless of tier, since its pricing scales only by record count, not features, per littlegreenlight.com/pricing.
- Does 'moves management' matter for choosing between these?
- It matters if your nonprofit does major-gift fundraising. DonorPerfect names moves management specifically as a Plus-tier feature, and Bloomerang describes a major-gifts pipeline as part of its core CRM. Little Green Light's pricing page doesn't use that specific term, though it includes full donor management at every tier.
- Can I bundle CRM, fundraising and volunteer management in one Bloomerang subscription?
- Not at one price. Bloomerang sells CRM ($125/month), Fundraising ($40/month, requires bundling with CRM) and Volunteer ($119/month) as separate products, or as a bundle called The Giving Platform at $242/month, all billed annually, per bloomerang.com/pricing. A nonprofit wanting all three should budget for the bundle price, not only the CRM line.
