SofterWare, the developer of DonorPerfect Fundraising Software, has acquired Givecloud, an online fundraising platform that has served as a long-term technology partner to DonorPerfect. The deal is positioned as a strategic move to accelerate SofterWare’s product roadmap and more deeply embed Givecloud’s donation-form capabilities inside the DonorPerfect fundraising system.
Givecloud supports more than 2,000 nonprofit clients globally and is marketed as a platform designed to increase both one-time and recurring giving. The companies said nonprofits have already relied on the DonorPerfect-Givecloud integration to improve donor engagement and streamline online donation experiences, and the acquisition will enable tighter product development and faster innovation between the teams.
As part of the combination, SofterWare plans to further integrate Givecloud’s online fundraising tools with DonorPerfect’s donor management software. The companies highlighted features aimed at improving fundraising performance, including donation forms designed to boost conversion, frictionless payments using digital wallets (including donor-advised funds), one-click express checkout on mobile, a self-service donor portal that reflects online and offline gifts, and suggested ask amounts based on donor giving preferences.
Lauren Sheehan, SofterWare’s president, described the transaction as a milestone aligned with the company’s mission of “Making It Easy To Do Good,” framing the acquisition as a growth investment intended to help nonprofits raise more while enabling the combined teams to innovate faster.
Givecloud Founder and CEO Josh Bloomfield said the combination will allow Givecloud to bring its approach to donor engagement to a broader audience through the DonorPerfect ecosystem, with a focus on scaling tools that help nonprofits build stronger connections with supporters.
DonorPerfect said its platform is used by 75,000 nonprofit professionals and that those users have collectively raised more than $100 billion, positioning the expanded system as an integrated fundraising and donor-management offering for organizations seeking to modernize online giving and engagement.
