Donor Profile: Nonprofit Donor Management Guide

Definition:

A donor profile is a comprehensive record of an individual donor’s information, history, and interactions with a nonprofit organization.

A Donor Profile is a detailed record maintained by a nonprofit organization that consolidates all pertinent information about a donor. This includes personal contact details, donation history, communication preferences, engagement notes, event attendance, and any relevant demographics or interests. Donor profiles enable nonprofits to better understand their supporters, tailor communications, and cultivate relationships that lead to increased engagement and giving. By centralizing this information, organizations can analyze giving patterns, track interactions over time, and develop personalized outreach strategies that resonate with each individual donor.
