Case Study: Notre Dame College achieves major time and cost savings with DonorPerfect

Notre Dame College Saved Time & Money by Making the Switch to DonorPerfect

Notre Dame College, a small liberal-arts institution with roots dating to 1922, needed a better fundraising system after years on Raiser's Edge left staff frustrated by limited customization, poor tech support, and restricted access for multiple departments. IT contractor Chris Kiec led the search to find a solution that would cut costs, improve off-site donor access, and enable smoother collaboration between Development, Finance, and leadership.

They switched to DonorPerfect, taking advantage of unlimited users, strong integrations (including QuickBooks), and responsive conversion support to migrate 20 years of data and 100 custom fields. The change reduced software costs to about a third of their previous spend, turned week-long audit preparation into a 7-minute task, streamlined receipting and reconciliations, and boosted fundraising efficiency through scheduled reports and online forms that keep donor data accurate and accessible.
