Finding funders feels like guessing.

You know they're out there — you just can't see who's funding organizations like yours.

Is that number good?

The board asks how your reserves compare. Comparable to what, exactly?

The real research tools cost thousands.

Foundation databases are priced for the nonprofits that least need them.

See the funders you're missing.

Every grant a foundation reports on its own tax filing, compiled and matched. See who has funded you, who funds organizations like yours, and the gap between the two: funders supporting your peers that haven't supported you yet. Then narrow the list by cause, geography, and grant size to build a prospect list worth pursuing.

Premium · from funders' own 990 and 990-PF filings.

Your Form 990 financials — revenue, program spending, reserves, and growth — are already organized for every US nonprofit, free. Premium shows where each number sits among nonprofits of your size and cause, with the comparison group stated every time. Walk into the board meeting ready with an answer, not an estimate.

Facts free · position premium · 24 measures per filing year.

Build the peer group your decision actually needs.

Your real peers are rarely every nonprofit in a category. Build a custom group from organizations you know, or use advanced filters for mission, geography, scale, and operating signals to find the right ones. Then compare every member in one report: financials, shared and missed funders, technology, grantmaking, and the members with the strongest growth.

Premium · your criteria, your comparison set, one report.

Financials, funder overlap, technology, grantmaking, and growth in one view.

Built from your criteria: mission, geography, scale, and operating signals.

Ask your AI assistant. Get answers from the filings.

Connect Donor Catalyst to Claude, Cursor, or any app that supports MCP connectors, then ask in plain language: which funders you're missing, how your reserves compare, what's in your prospect pipeline. Your assistant looks it up in the same data as your reports and cites the quarter it came from, so you can draft the board memo or the funder list in one conversation.

Premium · sign in once, no API keys · read-only access you can revoke anytime.

How we work

  • No grades and no black-box scores — you get enough judgment from funders.
  • Every comparison states how many organizations are behind it.
  • If we haven't checked something — a website we haven't crawled, a filing that hasn't landed — we say so instead of guessing.

Start with your organization's name.
