About
Donorbox is the world's leading all-in-one nonprofit fundraising and donor management platform, trusted by organizations of all sizes — from churches and schools to healthcare institutions and advocacy groups. At its core, Donorbox offers UltraSwift™ checkout, a donation form experience that is 4x faster than traditional forms and dramatically reduces donor drop-off by requiring minimal personal information at checkout. The platform's AI-powered CRM, enhanced by Jay·AI, enables organizations to pull donor data, craft targeted outreach, segment audiences dynamically, and refine fundraising strategies using conversational AI. Beyond forms, Donorbox covers the full fundraising lifecycle: customizable donation pages, recurring giving, peer-to-peer campaigns, crowdfunding, membership programs, text-to-give, and event ticketing with automated tax receipting. For in-person fundraising, Donorbox Live™ Kiosk provides a self-service giving experience ideal for events, museums, and churches. A branded Donor Portal lets supporters manage their giving history, update recurring donations, and give again instantly via QuickDonate™. Donorbox is designed to be refreshingly easy to use while offering enterprise-grade features, making it ideal for nonprofits, faith-based organizations, educational institutions, and any cause-driven entity looking to maximize fundraising impact with minimal technical effort.
