EverTrue Acquires DonorSearch to Give Fundraisers More Intelligence, More Capacity, and More Time for Relationships

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EverTrue, a leader in donor engagement and pipeline development, today announced its acquisition of DonorSearch, a pioneer in AI-powered donor discovery. Together, the companies will give fundraising teams what they need most: the ability to find the right prospects, connect with them in meaningful ways, and deliver results as demands on philanthropy continue to grow. The acquisition also marks a significant step in EverTrue's evolution as an AI company, embedding intelligence and automation throughout the donor engagement process.

Organizations are expected to deliver greater impact—supporting students, advancing medical research, sustaining community programs—while operating with constrained budgets and plateaued funding sources. Donors, meanwhile, expect transparency, personalization, and clear evidence that their gifts make a difference.

By uniting DonorSearch's industry-leading donor intelligence with EverTrue's engagement capabilities, the combined company equips fundraisers to surface the right prospects, prioritize their time, and build stronger donor relationships.

"Major gift pools are shrinking, and too often donors are overlooked, unassigned, or unengaged," said Adam Blake, CEO of EverTrue. "By combining DonorSearch's unmatched intelligence with EverTrue's outreach capabilities, we're helping fundraising teams uncover hidden prospects, connect with the right fundraisers, and scale meaningful engagement."

For nearly 20 years, DonorSearch has provided nonprofits with the industry's most comprehensive philanthropic dataset, helping fundraisers identify the right donors at the right time. EverTrue adds modern engagement tools that help teams connect with donors in personalized, memorable ways—through video storytelling, print, digital stewardship, AI-driven insights, and mobile trip planning—designed to save time and strengthen relationships.

The combination reflects a shared belief: data alone isn't enough; it must drive action.

"When I founded DonorSearch nearly 20 years ago, it was built on one belief: the best predictor of future giving is past giving," said Bill Tedesco, Founder and CEO of DonorSearch. "That mission continues today, but in an AI-powered world, fundraisers need more than data. They need actionable intelligence that fuels authentic connections. Joining with EverTrue makes that possible."

Today, EverTrue and DonorSearch support more than 15,000 fundraising organizations, providing solutions that help teams identify qualified prospects, streamline outreach, and focus on the relationships that unlock generosity.

EverTrue and DonorSearch are shaping a future where fundraising teams have both the intelligence and the capacity to engage every donor meaningfully at every stage, while working seamlessly with the systems they already trust. With a commitment to open integrations, continued investment in AI innovation, and a mission to empower fundraisers, we're building tools that help organizations turn ambition into impact.
