VERDICT

Should I use DonorDock?

Steward donor relationships with an easy-to-use nonprofit CRM with email, text, project management, and giving pages all in one place. - donordock.com

Depends. Buy if you run a small-to-mid nonprofit that wants donor CRM, email, and giving pages in one tool. Skip if you're a large org with complex development operations, or a tiny group a spreadsheet still serves.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 8 public sources; several listed mirrors recycle vendor copy, limiting independent signal.
