The short version
DonorAtlas uses AI agents to research the open web — news, public records, nonprofit filings and company databases — and cites what it finds, with native Raiser's Edge NXT and Salesforce integrations, SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA. DonorGraph is the published-price option for smaller shops: monthly plans from $129, a large monthly screening allowance, an evidence tier on every field, and a grants module for foundation prospecting.

Where DonorGraph is different
Filed records first
Open-web research is good at biography and news. DonorGraph starts with documents held by counties, the IRS and the SEC — property records, board seats, foundation returns, insider filings — which are strongest on real estate, boards and liquidity, and links each one.
A big monthly allowance at a small price
Solo is $129 a month for 150 complete screenings; Team is $349 for 600; Org is $799 for 2,500. Every screening includes the cited AI brief, and billing is month to month.
Foundation prospecting included
The grants module searches 17 million IRS 990-PF grants: funders like yours, which of your funders are active or lapsed, typical gift sizes, and which of your donors sit on a funder's board.
Start without a contract
Screen three of your own donors free, then pick a plan — no demo, no annual contract.
Who switches
- Small and mid-size shops that want cited research without an annual licence.
- Researchers who lean on deed, board and SEC evidence.
- Development teams that also chase foundation grants.
- Anyone who wants to test on their own donors before talking to sales.
Frequently asked questions
How much does DonorAtlas cost?
DonorAtlas sells custom annual licences through a demo. Third-party reviews report a starting point around $5,000 a year.
Do both tools cite sources?
Yes. DonorAtlas states that every piece of information is cited back to its source. DonorGraph links every field to its record and adds an evidence tier — confirmed, possible or no evidence found.
How is DonorGraph different?
DonorGraph publishes month-to-month pricing from $129, builds profiles from filed records before the web, includes foundation-grant research on every plan, and checks SEC insider filings daily against your donor file.
Is there anything DonorAtlas does that DonorGraph doesn't?
Yes. DonorAtlas has SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA with a BAA, native Raiser's Edge NXT and Salesforce integrations, SSO and SCIM, and an MCP server for AI assistants including Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and Perplexity. Its open-web research can surface biography and news on people who appear little in public filings. DonorGraph does not have a SOC 2 report and exports to CRMs by CSV today.
