DonorScope is a web-based prospect research platform for nonprofits seeking major-donor prospects. It is designed for teams that need to build and refine prospect lists using geography and wealth-related criteria. Organizations can search by ZIP code, a list of ZIP codes, or radius, then apply filters for estimated income, home value, income-producing assets, and net worth. The platform also supports downloading names and contact information for identified prospects.

The published annual plan costs $998 per year. It includes searches for new donor prospects, downloads of prospect names and addresses, wealth and financial-data appends for uploaded records, importing appended data back into an existing database, and complimentary prospect compilation training. The pricing page also lists separate per-record charges. Training extends beyond list compilation to segmentation and data management, while the product provides online tutorials, videos, and audio training. This makes the offering more than a search interface for teams that need guidance organizing prospect data.

DonorScope’s main strength is depth within a narrow workflow: geographic wealth screening, list building, data appending, and database import. Its web-only delivery and lack of AI features make it less suitable for organizations seeking a broader prospecting ecosystem, automated intelligence, or wider platform coverage. Teams that already manage donor records elsewhere may value the ability to import appended data back into an existing database. DonorScope is a sensible choice for location-led wealth-list building; organizations prioritizing verified scoring, extensive integrations, or AI-assisted research should look for a broader alternative.
