Donor CRM for UK & US nonprofits

Every patron known. Every gift accounted for.

OrchidHall is the considered, modern alternative to Raiser's Edge NXT and other legacy donor CRMs: online giving, receipts and Gift Aid, recurring gifts and honest reporting, with pricing you can read on this page.

0% platform fee on FreeEU hosting by defaultCard data stays with Stripe
0%platform fee on gifts, on every plan. Free is funded by optional donor tips; paid plans by a published subscription.
25%Gift Aid uplift calculated on every eligible UK gift, with HMRC donor-benefit limits applied.
$250+US gifts flagged automatically for an IRS written acknowledgement, quid-pro-quo included.
100%of your data exportable in one go: constituents, gifts, soft credits, recurring and Gift Aid.

Constituents

Know every supporter by name, not by record number.

Individuals, organisations and households on one calm page: lifetime giving, consent, Gift Aid status and every gift in order.

  • Households and soft credits, so family giving adds up properly
  • Email, post, phone and SMS consent with source and date
  • Duplicate matching by ID, email, then name and postcode

Gift entry

Gift entry that keeps the books honest.

Key a stack of cheques against control totals and post nothing until it balances. Funds, campaigns and appeals are picked from lists or created as you type.

  • Batch entry with expected count and total
  • Receipts issued automatically, with large and quid-pro-quo gifts flagged
  • Pledges with linked payments and outstanding balances

UK Gift Aid

Claim the extra 25% without the spreadsheet.

Online, written and oral declarations are kept with a full history. OrchidHall works out which gifts are eligible, applies benefit limits and claim deadlines, and builds the HMRC schedule for you.

  • Gift Aid checkbox with the HMRC wording on your donation page
  • Cancelled declarations recorded, never deleted
  • HMRC claim schedule exported as CSV

Migration

Leave Raiser's Edge with your history intact.

Preview first, reconcile always. Every import ends with proof that nothing went missing.

Upload your export

Use the Raiser's Edge preset or map any CSV. Nothing is written yet.

Preview and match

See every mapped field. Records are matched by ID, email, then name and postcode; pledge payments link to open pledges.

Reconcile

Counts and totals before and after, side by side. Import again and nothing is duplicated.

Also in the box

The rest of a serious donor CRM.

Recurring giving

Monthly gifts through Stripe, with pause and cancel, on paid plans.

Pledges

Track promised gifts, link payments as they arrive and see the balance outstanding.

Segments & reports

LYBUNT, SYBUNT, retention and top donors. Save a segment, export it to CSV.

Donor portal

Supporters get a magic link to their own gifts and receipts. No password to forget.

API & single sign-on

REST API with hashed, revocable keys; Google Workspace, Entra ID or any OIDC provider (Big).

Roles, 2FA & audit log

Admin, fundraiser and read-only roles, TOTP two-factor login and an audit trail of who saw what.

EU hosting by default

Data and files live in Cloudflare's EU jurisdiction. Export everything, any time.

Year-end statements

Annual giving statements and US acknowledgement receipts with $250+ gifts flagged.

Pricing

Simple, published pricing.

You pay for the contacts you keep, never for users, and never a cut of your gifts: paid plans charge 0% on donations. Every price is on this page, including the biggest bands. Small is priced at least 20% below Little Green Light's prepaid price, the cheapest published donor CRM we found, at every size. Pay monthly, or yearly and get two months free.

Contacts are the constituent records you haven't archived; archiving is free and keeps all history. If you go over your band we'll show a reminder, but we never block gifts, donations or imports, and we never upgrade you mid-term: your band is reviewed at renewal. All plans include roles and permissions, two-factor login, the donor portal, EU hosting and full export. Card processing is charged by Stripe on your own account, and donors can choose to cover it. On the Free plan, donors may add an optional tip to OrchidHall at checkout. Prices in US dollars, excluding any sales tax or VAT.

Prices as published on 25 October 2026; see the sources linked on each vendor. "Quote only" means the vendor doesn't publish a price. Raiser's Edge NXT figures are from public order forms and purchase orders, not list prices. Blackbaud also charges 2.99% + 30¢ processing, a 1.5% fee on most online-form gifts and an annual payment enablement fee. Salesforce gives eligible nonprofits 10 licences free. Zeffy also covers card processing. Vendors change prices, so check their sites. Methodology and every source: docs/pricing.md in our repository.

Scale: Strong / Solid / Basic / Weak. Based on our research of public vendor pages, October 2026. Vendors change their products and prices, so check their sites before deciding. Where incumbents are stronger: wealth screening and prospect research, events, peer-to-peer and auctions, grants management, consultant ecosystems and published SOC 2 reports.

What we don't claim

We build to be audit-ready, but OrchidHall has not been independently audited and holds no certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001. When that changes, it will say so here, with the report.

A fitting hall for serious philanthropy.
