DonorAtlas

NOTE: If you’re looking to compare all of the top donor research tools at once, head here.

DonorSearch was founded in 2007, and DonorAtlas was founded last year.

Here’s why our clients are choosing a tool 17 years’ DonorSearch’s junior:

We source data from the entire Internet, not just 140 external services. This means that:

You can see more donor info (e.g. detailed donor bios)
You see more up-to-date data (e.g. not just relying on 3-year old 990s)
You can look up as much data as you want in DonorAtlas (e.g. no limitations on profile views)

We reliably tell you how to get in touch with a donor (either through automatic relationship mapping or contact info).
You can search DonorAtlas like it’s Google (e.g. looking up “donors in Dallas that care about the arts” rather than only being able to search someone’s name).

And here’s a full breakdown:

Feature	DonorAtlas	DonorSearch
