DonorSearch vs. WealthEngine: Why DonorSearch Is Better

Why Nonprofits Choose DonorSearch Over WealthEngine

• 

  Designed for Philanthropy

  Even though researching prospective donors for a nonprofit is very different from identifying potential customers or investors for a business, WealthEngine aims to address both needs with a single platform. DonorSearch, on the other hand, is tailor-made for fundraising. That focus shapes the data we prioritize, the workflows we build, and the support we provide, so you’re working with tools designed for your organization’s exact needs.

• 

  Cutting-Edge, Responsible AI

  Two of WealthEngine’s limitations in prospect research are that the platform focuses more on surfacing capacity data than philanthropic or affinity information, and that it only leverages predictive AI in the process. Meanwhile, DonorSearch’s wealth and philanthropic screening tools provide a balanced, complete view of potential donors’ ability and willingness to support your nonprofit. Plus, we offer generative AI-powered prospect reporting in addition to our predictive modeling systems to further enhance your research and cultivation processes.

• 

  Industry-Leading Platform Integrations

  DonorSearch integrates with over 40 nonprofit fundraising tools and constituent relationship management (CRM) systems—more than any other prospect research solution, including WealthEngine (which reports over 35 integrations, not all of which are nonprofit-specific). Popular platforms that DonorSearch integrates with and WealthEngine doesn’t include Bloomerang, Blackbaud CRM, Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT, Virtuous, and the rest of the EverTrue suite of donor management tools.

• 

  Personalized Customer Service

  WealthEngine’s customer support runs through a general contact form, and any team member may respond to your queries. With DonorSearch, every client gets a designated support team member who will become familiar with your unique situation and goals, help you work through any issues that may arise one-on-one, and respond to most inquiries within one business day. Plus, our library of fundraising resources and on-demand webinars is always available so you can make the most of the DonorSearch platform.
